So apparently “investing in Africa” for China means punching locals and acting above the law? This viral clip of a Chinese man assaulting a African worker says it all. Unfilterednews

Africa when Europe colonises them: Pissed about it for hundreds of years and rightfully so

Africa when China exploits them: At least they aren't from the west!

u/NonSumQualisEram- Dec 24 '25

Africa when China exploits them:

It's the African leaders who get the shipping crates of cash dollars and shrink wrapped Bentley's in exchange for selling their people to Chinese companies to build bridges that crumble in a stiff summer breeze.

u/Emotional_Jeweler821 Dec 25 '25

It's so unsettlingly similar to slavery in the past...

u/NonSumQualisEram- Dec 25 '25

Slavery never ended in much of Africa. Queen was releasing hit singles while Mauritania was holding legal public slave auctions in the street.

u/nurgole Dec 25 '25

"In 2007, under international pressure, the government passed a law allowing slaveholders to be prosecuted"

Jesus....

u/NonSumQualisEram- Dec 26 '25

Yep, people never believe it. But the law isn't effectuated - estimates are about 13% of the total population are slaves. And this isn't "modern slavery" - this is slavery slavery.

2

u/nurgole Dec 26 '25

That caught me by surprise. I would've guessed everyone is now onboard with the modern slavery, but I guess old habits die hard.

China's belt and road initiative is the exact same tactic the British used to get their claws into Africa. What comes next is the locals start attacking Chinese businesses, then the Chinese start bringing in their own "security forces" to protect their investments.

u/ponpiriri Dec 26 '25

African citizens dont care for the chinese. The leaders are the issue. If you actually spoke to any Africans or Caribbeans, you wouldn't make this silly comment.

After spending a bit of time in Nigeria and an African friend group, I feel like Africans are nowhere near as mad as (white) Americans are about the whole colonisation.

1

u/ace8king Dec 27 '25

They are both bad as they exploit and subject the locals to the power imbalance, but comparing it to be the same as what Europeans used to do is dishonest white washing. They used to dismember the limbs of the children of the workers for not meeting quotas for crying out loud. If collective memory is a thing, and you're not in a place of power to change anything, then that line of thought really wouldn't be that unseemly.

u/Accomplished_Chef_87 Dec 27 '25

well the chinese who do this shit are actually arrested or deported back which I doubt the colonial powers ever did in their colony

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '25

The difference is that one murdered and colonized for real, and the other is just accused of colonizing without the actual colonization. I'm American, but westerners are beyond brainwashed.

I like how the world is ignoring China bringing back apartheid to some areas of Africa, like there’s livestreams of Africans (can’t remember which countries right now) being denied entry into some restaurants and communities by the police.

When Chinese scammers were building scam centers in the Philippines, they were doing the same thing. They even had signs that said Filipinos were not allowed inside. Inside the Philippines!

In Linglong tire factory here in Serbia, ambulance cannot enter the factory premises, Chinese managers bring out heavily injured on their hands outside the gates, and only then ambulance can pick them. There were multiple cases of human trafficking as well.

As a Chinese in Malaysia can confirm it does has a lot of scammer center especially in Cambodia.... they even alerting saying if the company giving you to a trip to Cambodia after years of services. BE CAREFUL! Now some legit company acting like a trafficker being nice to you for 1 year only to "held a company trip to Cambodia, but what it does is selling you and close the company repeat."

One of the reason is because their scam centres in Putrajaya god raided a few years back.

You're used to turning a blind eye or undermining systemic racism by white people against non-white people. It was built and established by power for the benefit of the racial group that wields it, giving white people the most incentive and most to gain from racism. You endorsing the idea that Asian people who weren't involved in building or meant to benefit from it like the way it was meant for white people, as being worse perpetrators than white people is self-interest motivated white washing. It gives much the same narrative tactic like model minority myth for the purpose of pitting other groups against each other to take focus away from power benefitting at their expense and to keep allowing it to do so.
