What happens when China builds your country’s internet?

- Throughout Africa, countries are being connected to the digital economy for the first time, making the internet accessible where it once was not. In Zambia, communication, banking, and public services are all going digital.
As in many African nations, this is all happening with the help of China. But China isn’t just spotting good investment opportunities; nor is it trying to win favors from smaller countries. It’s changing how we think about the internet.
Quartz went to Zambia and found that the fact that China is building a country’s digital infrastructure doesn’t necessarily mean that the country wants the restricted, censored Chinese model of the internet. But no matter what, it makes governments stronger, whether they are democratic, authoritarian, or something in between.

"Private Chinese companies" - *Shows a sign saing "airtel", an Indian company*
Huawei built the whole infrastructure.
@@Jersey1225, yup but still why show an Indian carrier tho?
I mean if I didn't know Airtel was Indian, when I see that image I'll think that they are a Chinese company.
@Tdufivho Hfjgvihoho, who?
Here dicks saying infrastructure is chinese. Apple make their whole products from china, will you call it chinese. Now Samsung shifted from korea to india, will you call it india. Ahh, thanos where are you?
What will happen when India builds your country's Internet?
Africa: "I'm starving"
US: "Get lost"
China: "Have a doughnut"
US: "China is causing diabetes in Africa"
Your naive if you think China is doing anything for the Africa and the African countries besides exploiting them, just do some research on china loans to the countries in their one road one belt plan and see what they did and what they got out of it.
@@JigilJigil you're equally naive if you think the US has done any selfless benevolent good for anyone either! Has it occurred to you that these countries actually understand the terms of the deals they make with China, and have concluded that it's still in their best interests to proceed?
jigil jigil Better than what the west does
Western countries have been greedy ans selfish for centuries. They have occupied the resources and mines in Africa, but they haven't paid much for those and have done very few things to improve the local societies, and they've even been selling African people as slaves. If the same thing that Chinese firms and European/US firms want from African countries, Chinese always make much much better deals for African countries, to modernize the countries. Western countries envy China, so they slander China. Why don't western countries make better deals to help African countries? Why don't they apologize African people for the evil things they have done, and help much more to modernize African countries? --to make up the resources and human lives that the western countries have robbed away from Africa.
@@masonmhl don't blame west blame Africa corrupt leaders
Here in Kenya despite being like the US, talking like the US, I don't see any American companies helping build and expand our tech infrastructure!🤧 Only Chinese.
Clement Lumumba omg thanksssss cuz almost my whole family moved to Kenya for infrastructure
@Heather Larson give them time 😌
@clement. Thats because its insanely hard to to invest hugely in human rights violation areas or where corruption is huge. Thats why china is the only trading partner for major dictatorships and a massive debt causer. Sri lanka had to lease them land to get out of it.
Ask yourself why are china helping you.
@@frankyfourfingers8913 Why doesn't western help them...
so why usa doesnt give better internet deals then?
Because the USA sadly does not care. Its a shame I know but it doesn´t look like it will change in the near future.
Because the USA is stuck dealing with domestic problems. Basically when you have freedom to speak, you speak a lot. Also the local government decides whether they want freedom of speech, not the US government, and considering Zambia's fall from democracy, I don't think the government would accept more freedom of speech in their country, and China builds stuff for them, so they would picked China no matter what.
We, US dont even have neither 5G nor 4G

Don't help Africa, but also shoot some defamatory videos. This is the western world. If you have the ability, please help Africa build infrastructure, or shut up.
they help them! when they want and can publicize it...
China just does it, no recognition needed. That’s what makes them easy targets for the west. No one knows what China is doing

Yep, the video isn't worth watching any more after that.
It pushes the commie narrative..
I’m from 🇪🇹 you know one of the countries you mentioned and I would like to thank China for helping us develop why does everything have to be America’s way it’s a big world. And I also support more surveillance because we are bordering Somalia, great people but they are grappling with terrorism we also have a terrorist in our country called Jawar who literally caused the death of 80 people because of a crazy whim we need to develop we need peace I believe that is our greatest priority at the moment maybe then we can have conversations about democracy because our people that deserve opportunities I know this plays into stereotypes but people are starving that also needs to considered.
USA are spending more than $200 billion annually in hiring mercenaries around the world.
(bernie sanders mentioned this in congress a few month ago)..
And at the same time terrorism are rising significantly. Coincidence?????????????
Chinese caring about black people is the funniest thing I’ve read on RUclips
@@0IIIIII No one said that Chinese are caring about black people, they are just doing business and things are improving in Africa thanks to them. Compare that to what the West did in Africa, easy to choose between the 2. We need infrastructures and industries not your fake democracy and your fake freedom. How can you talk about democracy and freedom with an empty belly.
0IIIIII so who is caring? The so called US led free world?
Magatte US gives money to developing nations too, but only if nations prove they are committed to democracy. The woman acknowledges this and calls it ‘patronizing’. Well, if she thinks Zambia doesn’t need human rights, a free press, and a rule of law, then she can sell her country out to China.
Isn't Airtel an Indian telecommunications company??
Yes.. they also showed Chinese telecom plans 1:46 in India that's simply not true. All Indian companies use telecom equipments from Samsung and Nokia. Airtel is Indian company and not Chinese. But they use Huawei equipments out of India

AMERICA IS DECLINING.. WHY CANT THE "GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH" DO THIS INSTEAD?
We do things similar to this. We provide weapons for the people to overthrow their government, then place a puppet president for them, so they can sell us resources for cheap.
Because your leaders have been bribing African leaders to abide by their rules over its people and that´s why you see more Anti western sentiment from Africa.
Africa could have been an amazing thriving continent if the western countries did their part to enrich Africa in exchange for rare minerals, but instead you steal them..
@@wimprezax And who funds these corrupt governments huh?..
China is seeking strictly business transaction benefits. US imperialism seeks business transaction benefits AND power/control over regulating information flow.
America declining? What? I’m not from USA, never been there either. I know that people in USA struggle with get education, but atleast we have education in Norway, and when you get education and use your brain, you can clearly see America isnt declining at all. America is getting way better today then before, economic is going up, jobs coming back to USA.
USA is doing super great lately
As if Cisco equipment can not be used the same way too.
They are not because America wants you to believe that they are not spying on you and label everything China as bad.
@Akmal Ahmad thanks for the comment man. But i guess you have quite a niche understanding about how public companies work. Yes shareholders own a piece of the company but they have no power over the decisions made by the ceo and the board of directors. Even if you own a controlling share of the company you dont go and ask the CEO what to do. And companies are still beholden to the laws of the country they are affiliated with. Public or not no one can stop a secret meeting between the ceo and the government when national security interests are involved. At the end of the day the animosity towards China can only be traced to the narrative that America is afraid of losing its economic dominance that would result to lesser influence in the world stage.
@Akmal Ahmad Foreigner can own chinese company. For example, there is a famous toothpaste brand "china" in china, and you guess who owns the company that make the "china" toothpaste ? Unilever. They bought the chinese company in 1994.
Cisco equipment was used to build the Great Firewall of China so you'd end up with the same outcome, still censoring for China (PRC)
Don't you know that the United States prohibits private Chinese companies from buying European companies because they threaten the national security of the United States? How absurd the logic is that "Allies" like Europe and Canada are treated like pets, not to mention other countries in Africa. That's the freedom of democracy thier try to push with, even if it's bad enough still have brainwashed victims like you defending for the criminals.
So Chinese telecoms are complying with local government laws regarding surveillance and cybersecurity? Isn't that a good thing?
I love how when American government regulate its internet, it's all good, but when Chinese companies give the power to local government to regulate their internet, it's all the sudden a bad thing.
Right? I can't believe they're angry about the government punishing someone for speaking out against the president. The person should've been executed for speaking out.
It's embarrassing how this guy is trying to connect what's happening in Zambia with China. Live China alone, I m a Zambian and I can tell you personally what great things China has done. I can't imagine how our country would have been without China. Say whatever you want to say but what is on the ground is what counts. Man China has made life a bit comfortable with cheap but quality products,roads bridges and as far as I m concerns the are not invading an country with arms, wars. Leave Zambia alone. Don't associate our problems with China that's wrong.
welcome to china if you have the chance...and learn as much as you can to help your home country....we chinese are always africans' friends

Not really. Most of those nations literally cant pay back and chinas accepted oil on return but that means for example (nation A) has to give China a economic production in the nation to repay. This literally can cause massive economic issues.
@@arcarcon4620 literally cant pay back??? china literally could not pay anything 40 years ago..how about now?
@@arcarcon4620 Just because they literally can't pay back, Chinese act to help them develop to pay back. Just becase they literally can't pay back, you Americans don't give a shit to helping them. That's the difference.
@@xinghuantang5573 China still can't pay back so they've just been printing money and stealing cash from rich people by killing them just like what Mao did during the 1950s and 1960s. China is still attempting to kill their lawyers like they did in upto the 1970s but mainly only human rights lawyers because the only human rights people in China (PRC) is lowering the bar as to what counts as being in poverty (the bar used to be US$1.50/Day or less to be in "poverty" but for a couple of years now its been lowered to US$1/Day to be in "Poverty"). African nations also can't afford to repay loans to China (PRC) because the way loans are set up is where the "win-win" situation is designed to only be "win-win" for china because the PRC wins by having loans repaid early or china comming in a repossessing property such as ports, airports and railways or forcing countries to repay debt by giving them natural resources such as Oil being repaid by Venezuela or other materials.
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials idiot...
When the content of the video barely compare US and China, everyone did so in the comment section.
A telling anecdote as told by journalist Howard French: A few years ago the US state department announced a 200 million dollars infrastructure project in a Western African country. No American company wanted to do it because they didn't think the money was worth the risk, as they saw it. So a Chinese company did it.
An American official told Bloomberg a few years ago; We don't do infrastructure. Not as a lament, but as in "Don't bother asking us to do it."
The Chinese do not care if you are a democracy or not. They do not care about what you think about the environment or the press or women's rights or the war on terror or any of the things Western countries demand that you do. They care about doing business, and in a distant second if you are willing to take money for not recognizing Taiwan as a country.

0:59-1:00 Airtel an Indian Telecom company. Glad we have a footprint there
A sad truth for African friends:
Companies which are building stuff in ur countries are state-owned corporations, they act as direct tools of communist govt, they are doing these bcoz our govt sees there are a lot of potential political, economic benefits later on. For the Economic part ,We are helping u bcoz we know what our position is in the global division of labor, our products need a market to sell and they wonderfully fit the African markets which are very sensitive to the price and have a relative better tolerance of quality. Our bulding behaviors are already giving u a positive feeling towards us, it is more likely u would consider more about our products.
For the political part. Have you heard of the saying "The politics is decided by economy." Firstly, we build ur roads, railways, then we build your airports, network, if possible, we can invest in our electricity, food supplies and education. At that time , u would know how we can dictate ur govt. In terms of levels of modernisation, African countries score lower than us, and ur countries doesnt seem to care to pull the trigger to the protests who go against govt. Less protection of human rights and lower level of enforcement of rule of law. these things are exactly what we seek from u. If we can get u into our shoes, how dare western countries and US to critize us, how many countries are they and how many countries we have. However, this is the sad part, we know ur govts are also corrupt, money works best for these kinds of ppl. If u ever want to seek for a change , it will be chinese money, power u r facing in the future, bcoz apparently our dictatership one- party govt would support those corrupt officials who show favors of our way of governing. China gives fake freedom to hk, do u think we would like to see more countries to become democracies ?

Sơn Võ English is a confusing language for people who are learning it, mostly due to the amount of random rules and exceptions the language contains. If you were born to people who speak English, i.e. in a country that was a former British colony, you would be better at English. This is usually the case in most languages, however as you learn it more, you would get better at it.
Is it also for something to build a network in Africa? I think it's more about helping Africa build better infrastructure.
I know Airtel has presence in Africa but didn't expect it leading Zambian market
Please make a video on what the options are for Africa?
They are all lying! 20 years ago China was the only option. Today many foreign nations realized Chinese growth is linked to Africa! Therefore Turkey, India, Iran, Dubai, and many others are offering services to Africa. Russia has finally joined the game as well. So you don’t need to deal with China. I believe Vietnam also helped build a 3g network in an African country.

@@abandonedchannel281 not true at all. a company exists because it wants to make money (both private and publicly traded companies), so if it wants to survive, it needs to follow the rules of the country. who sets those rules? the government - especially in the case of authoritarian countries.
look at China, Russia, Iran - any company that has a half-decent operation going will be heavily regulated by the government. in China for example, you cant even start a business or keep it going without the government installing a monitor (basically a government representative or team) directly into its board of directors. citizens who use its services and products don't have a choice, and if they protest, they will be arrested.
a company is NO MATCH for a brutal government that controls the army, the police, the courts, the judges, the stock market, the supply chains, and the infrastructure.

Omg, I am a Filipino citizen and I think people should know about these information. Our president had an idea of having a new telecommunication company, which is from China. Thank you for this information.
I wanna make videos like this where do i sign up quartz
Hey, a new upload from Doctor Fear Mongering
Same thing as when Israelis build your internet. You get spied on.
Woah he went to joburg, that’s where I live
The result is you get internet rather than some half ass crap from Facebook that steals all your information
Very weak reporting, you say Chinese companies are building the internet in Zambia, and then say China is affecting Zambia's Democracy and government for the worse. But you don't really make the connection between the two. Most of the reporting was based on conjecture and assumptions. No real evidence to make such a conclusion.
-What happen when China bipod your country’s internet?
-You can read efficiently more and more drama news from USA.
Because private companies won't exert authoritarianism right?
Does the producer have any understanding of how the internet works? Building the hardware infrastructure and building the internet are very different things. It is the difference between a road builder and car builder. Clickbait!
He...he...he... Democracy !
Democracy actually only fighting of power between politicians how to use the money of state legally. Also
How to get economical and financial profit for their groups.
It's useless for development countries
It's useless?
With democracy
They cld have got both real freedom and tech (ya it has its own issues, but compared to other much less worse)
But local govt arresting random school teachers lol
Nice country dude
China we are connecting the world to the internet.

Friends of Zambia - internet or ever huawei is not the root of the evil, it’s how these technologies are use that makes the tyranny. We feel for you for the other side of the world.
Biased reporting
Well all media is biased, but can you explain why you feel this doesn't do the situation justice?
western colonialism countries will never help to build this
Guess that doesn't apply to the U.S. After all, we poured a lot of money into healthcare of Africans, and even took the major risk of allowing Ebola patients into our country.
Any criticism of it will be censored and that’s just the start of your problems
At any rate China is driving progress while countries like Germany have been cementing the past.
democarzy, democrazy ... lol, like hongkong now ?
Bot begone! Reported.
我就知道会这么说，就不能来点新鲜的吗
Only time and luck can tell if Zambia still has enough financial resources to pay back the loans from People's Republic of China. It all depends on what kind of projects that the Zambian govt is prioritising at the moment and in the future. Transport projects and hydroelectric dam projects would be financially risky ones.
nothing is free for sale.
Also.luck is not everywhere
From America to all the anti USA, thank you chinese for making my master bedroom and morocco for my carpets.

Jack Tan if you are a Chinese , i don't talk you anymore by you are illiterate guys in your historic country, some reasons to treat you that china's government draw to tongue's dog along East Sea, china's government nowaday is lust for the beautiful country, as the way their ancestor use to doing, what is more , i guess that two periods have one in common ! invader must to failure! Give you poor man
@@1PHUTTAICHINH your countrymen is running away from your country and yet you still have time to bash other country? why dont you start to build your country to a better place instead just ranting poeple online
我是1450 thank for your suggestions, however i had a time to study abroad in canada, i came back where i grown up to contribute my ability for my country ( vietnam ) i am not as many Chineses as they don't know their ancestors by theses people those Chinese are living in vietnam to floating in my country
You have no idea what is conquering truly mean, ask your grandfather what it's like to live under the colonial rule of the French where the most prettiest Vietnamese woman are taken by ugly frenchman and worst of all your original language is gone forever. What a joke, an Asian using Latin alphabets system.
Ask your father how many city USA bomb in the name of freedom and democracy. And now even a small country of South Korean popular culture is conquering the youngster's mind.
Ask your ancestors despite thousands of years, China did not intentional invade Vietnam, only once in a while to teach the ungrateful Vietnamese government don't bite the hands that feed them. China only apply the Tributary System to her neighbors for thousand of years, never invade for land.
The land of freedumb didn’t want to develop Zambia? Shocker
And yet people still believe Huawei is safe to use... smh
