[s] rvp20182:Basically what you have written is trash did this fool say his country borrow from China without conditionalities ? They will do exactly what everyone has done to Kenya, seize lands since it is the only thing of value in Kenya. This is what China is doing to you fools https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-colonization-china-building-enormous-self-sustaining-chinese-cities-all-over During colonial times, European powers exploited Africa for the vast resources that it possesses. But what China is doing today is actually much worse. Yes, the Chinese greatly desire African resources, but ultimately what they want is Africa itself. But instead of conquering Africa using military force, China is using economics instead. Today, more than 10,000 Chinese-owned firms are operating in Africa, and virtually every major road, bridge, railway and skyscraper is being built by the Chinese. As a result, most African nations are very deeply indebted to China at this point. And as you will see below, when those debts go bad that gives the Chinese a tremendous amount of leverage. Many people believe that the endgame for China is to make a whole lot more money and to gain control over a whole lot more resources. And China is undoubtedly pursuing those goals, but as Forbes has noted, ultimately what this is about is turning Africa “into another Chinese continent”… How Are U.S.-China Trade Talks Affecting E-Commerce Giants? The reason Chinese corporations are in Africa is simple; to exploit the people and take their resources. It’s the same thing European colonists did during mercantile times, except worse. The Chinese corporations are trying to turn Africa into another Chinese continent. They are squeezing Africa for everything it is worth. Right now, approximately two million Chinese citizens already live in Africa, and that number is steadily rising with each passing month. These days, it is difficult to find a major construction project on the continent that is not being handled by the Chinese, and this has enabled them to put their imprint on some of the largest African cities. For example, just check out what is happening in Nairobi, Kenya… On the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, a small sign points to “Beijing Road,” where a new housing development called the Great Wall Apartments looks like the concrete towers you’d find in a Chinese city. Across Africa, Chinese developers are building highways, light rail systems, apartment buildings, and entire cities. Most of the “cities” that China is building are known as “special economic zones”. These “special economic zones” are essentially enormous self-sustaining Chinese cities that have been dropped right into some of the most strategic parts of Africa. For example, one of the biggest has been built right next to Lagos, Nigeria… Next to Lagos, Nigeria, Chinese developers have built a walled-off “special economic zone”–basically a separate city, with separate rules designed to attract investors–based on a model they’ve used inside China for the last 30 years. After Shenzhen became a special economic zone in the 1980s, it went from a small town of 20,000 to, by some counts, 15 million today. In these “special economic zones”, you will find Chinese factories staffed with Chinese managers that are supervising Chinese workers that are using Chinese equipment to make their products. And the size of some of these projects is absolutely staggering. Just check out what has been planned for an area along the coast of Tanzania… Bagamoyo, if the project goes ahead as planned, will be transformed into the largest port in Africa. That is looking ever more likely: after years of delay, the Tanzanian government says it is in the final stages of talks with state-run China Merchants Holdings International. The lagoon will be dredged, to allow access to the vast cargo ships that will queue many miles out to sea. As for the special economic zone, the original masterplan shows factories in a fenced-off industrial area, and apartment blocks to accommodate the estimated future population of 75,000. There is even talk of an international airport. Many of the villagers have already accepted compensation for the loss of their homes. Of course Chinese development is definitely not limited to these “special economic zones”. In Ethiopia, the capital city of the entire nation is literally becoming known as “the city that China built”… Cars chug through the city on smooth Chinese roads, Chinese cranes lift the skyline, sewing machines hum in Chinese factories in Chinese-owned industrial parks, tourists arrive at the Chinese-upgraded airport and commuters ride modern Chinese trains to work. Simply put, Addis Ababa is becoming the city that China built — but at what diplomatic and economic cost? Are you starting to get the picture? As the western world sleeps, the Chinese are literally taking over an entire continent. And as they increasingly dominate the landscape economically, they are bringing their culture with them as well… Chinese influence also goes beyond physical infrastructure. Now it’s possible to pick up a copy of China Daily, China’s state-run newspaper, in some African cities, and watch CCTV, China’s state-run news channel. Some cities have Chinese language schools, and some African students are given grants to go study in China. Apologists for China could point out that all of this development has pulled millions of Africans out of poverty. And that is true. But all of this development also carries with it a very hefty price tag… China is now Africa’s biggest trade partner, with Sino-African trade topping $200 billion per year. According to McKinsey, over 10,000 Chinese-owned firms are currently operating throughout the African continent, and the value of Chinese business there since 2005 amounts to more than $2 trillion, with $300 billion in investment currently on the table. Africa has also eclipsed Asia as the largest market for China’s overseas construction contracts. To keep this momentum building, Beijing recently announced a $1 billion Belt and Road Africa infrastructure development fund and, in 2018, a whopping $60 billion African aid package, so expect Africa to continuing swaying to the east as economic ties with China become more numerous and robust. Needless to say, the Chinese are not doing all of this out of the goodness of their hearts. African governments are going very deep into debt in order to afford all of this infrastructure, and several of them are now in way over their heads… There have already been warning signs: the $4 Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway ended up costing Ethiopia nearly a quarter of it’s total 2016 budget, Nigeria had to renegotiate a deal with their Chinese contractor due to their failure to pay, and Kenya’s 80% Chinese-financed railway from Mombasa to Nairobi has already gone four times over budget, costing the country upwards of 6% of it’s GDP. NEVER MISS THE NEWS THAT MATTERS MOST ZEROHEDGE DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOX Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories. Your email... This is the sort of predatory lending that western powers once did so well, but now China has taken things to an entirely new level. And once China has an African government by the throat, they can be absolutely ruthless… There have been credible reports of talks between the Zambian government and China on handing over the country’s national electricity company, ZESCO to the Chinese due to the inability of Zambia to meet its loan repayment promises. This is expected as China is already in control of the country’s broadcasting company, ZNBC. There are also fears the main airport in Lusaka could be the next target. Obliviously, Zambia is in trouble. And for other African beneficiaries of Chinese loans, they should prepare for the same possibility in the eventuality that they aren’t able to repay China. Basically, Zambia is in the process of becoming totally owned by China. And this is going to happen in country after country until someone stops them. But who is going to stop them? After all, the U.S. is about a trillion dollars in debt to the Chinese at this point. When it comes to foreign policy, China is playing chess while most of the western powers are playing checkers. They are literally running circles around us, and we are so clueless that we don’t even understand what is happening. 1 Like |

Shma: wonders shall never end You country has borrowed so much money that it cant afford to pay back and China is now running your Mombasa port. You have nothing to show even after borrowing so much. The greatest majority of your people are still languishing in poverty, living in poor houses and slums. Ghana budget deficit was 2.4% and rose to 4.5% Kenya budget deficit is 6.7% You have borrowed so much with only 9000km of roads tared No goo hospitals in your country hence your people are sent to India for treatment if they can afford. No money went missen at Cocoa Board I don't no if you understand the things you read online. Pre export receivables does not mean missen money. Kenya is the one in a debt burden that has led to more borrowing to pay salaries and finance old debt. such shame of a nation 2 Likes |

Reasons why Kenya Would Remain Underdeveloped (4)DEBT "He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing."....(proverb) To drive home the point of the proverb above, we might have to consider as an illustration Kenya's failed SGR which was Chinese funded, built and is being managed by the Chinese. The contract between China’s EximThis has driven up the cost of doing business and is affecting ordinary Little Indians who already are very poor. The importers are crying but the government's hands are tied by the deal with the Chinese. And what's worse, if Kenya fails in its bid to settle the loan it risks losing its Mombasa port to China. Kenya is already overburdened with debts which are routinely stolen and mismanaged by the ruling Kenyatta clan and their acolytes. Kenya unlike Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa is not blessed with vast deposits of mineral wealth and with such a dwarf economy, paying the loans back is impossible. It has to keep borrowing to pay back old loans. Kenya today is like the ectothermic frog which is unaware that it is being cooked until it dies. 3 Likes 1 Share |
