Our economy is facing challenges due to uncertainties, housing problems, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the lingering effects of the pandemic, leading to instability. The rising inflation, slow growth, and trade disruptions require immediate action from all sectors to restore stability and promote economic recovery.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

For the past seven years, I have entrusted a fiduciary to oversee my portfolio, effectively adjusting to market fluctuations and providing valuable insights for strategic decision-making. I highly recommend considering a similar approach for those seeking successful financial navigation and well-informed investment choices.

My country sends billions of dollars every year to Africa and has done so since the 1960's. We have also forgiven hundreds of billions of dollars of loans made to African countries during that time period. China doesn't want to give money to Africa they want to make short term loans at unreasonably high interest rates, hire only Chinese and non-African workers to work on investment projects, and then take over outright control over huge mines, airports, seaports and the like should these countries miss even one payment while saddling Africa with huge amounts of debt that they know Africa can't payback.

Everything said about how much China has invested and extracted from Africa can be said about every other major player in the world economy. I see a lot of paranoia coming out of this video.
What are you suggesting as the alternative? If you're talking about debt trap, it really all started with the WB and IMF. Have they helped with Africa's economic development? Or have they really just been an instrument to extend western neo-colonialism in Africa? China is actually building Africa, unlike the west. Sure there are issues to be resolved, but it far superior to the western alternative. Beside that, Africa's debt to China is far dwarfed by Africa's debt to the west. I don't understand how one can make this sort of statement on Chinese debt trap while making a straight face.
If we're talking about WB and IMF, they alleviated 100 billion USD of debts - including those to China - in the last 2 decades through HIPC initiative, almost all of that went to Africa. Is that not help? The result of that is, IMF and WB partially paid for those Chinese projects with Chinese slogans on them because many African governments weren't capable of paying for them. China gets all the profit and praise while the global aid organizations get spat at.
@@DarkRockslizer Stiglitz criticised the Washington Consensus for placing excessive amount of emphasis on GDP growth, as opposed to the real standard of living. It was clear that the shock policies adopted by the WB and IMF under the Washington Consensus had not helped countries in many cases. Structural Adjustments in the 1980s sent many economies backwards, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. According to Unicef, 10-25% drop in average incomes in Africa and Latin America in the 1980s, a decade that had significant WB lending along with structural adjustments. There was also a 25% fall in per capita spent on health, and a 50% reduction in education in the poorest countries in the world. Unicef attributes these to poorly implemented structural adjustments. They estimate that such adverse effects on developing nations results in the yearly death of half a million children. The WB themselves note the lack of evidence on the success of structural adjustments in poor countries. I'm quoting what UNICEF and Joseph Stiglitz had said. Unless you claim to have better sources of information and data than them.
@@georgeli3935 We don't live in the 80s anymore. According to Statista, WEF and... any other statistics source, really, there has been a massive upward trend in global education level in the 2000s and 2010s. Quoting "How place of birth shapes chances of going to university: evidence from 7 African countries", the education systems were reformed again in the 90s in the majority of Africa, this time more successfully, although inequality of access is still present or growing with urban centers having way easier access to it. However, more people also live in urbanized areas now. You should also look up the HIPC and related Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative programs and what they did.
@@DarkRockslizer My point was regarding the claim that China is creating a debt trap. My evidence was that the WB and IMF were the OG on the said debt trap. I don't see how this is irrelevant, unless you misunderstood the intention of my comment. Furthermore Africa is still experiencing the detrimental effects of WB and IMF policies.
You wanna take your chances with China or Russia, be my guest. But don't come crying to us when it all ends in tears. I fact, why don't you go emigrate there instead of sneaking into Europe
I would encourage people to research what this contributor is saying as the majority of his comments are simply wrong. Take Zambia, this East African country owes the majority of its debts to "Western" institutions. China accounts for under 30% at 4bn US Dollars. Look up America's AFRICOM, which has 30 military bases and facilities in Africa, including 2 in Kenya. It's all there for anyone to research.

@GenXerReacts Why talk about a subject that you clearly know nothing about? The "Western" claim that Zambia in Africa was the most indebted to Chinese. You can Google Zambia's external debt and where the debt interest is going. The time that I checked, "Western" institutions like the IMF/World Bank and private lending institutions accounted for between 66% and 75%, and the remainder was China. Now Africa and China might be emotionally triggering issues for you. But these are the facts. Your feelings do not trump these facts. BTW, which country is "your country?"
My opinion is to allow African nations to determine the optimal investments in their economies and, by extension, their security. After centuries of colonial subjugation, the Africans may be more interested in other options.
yeah, but that cash can save a lot of bodies from starvation, or from worse than imagined events. // perhaps u can send your Op to Xi and have his men re coin flip and bad debt some of the loans that seem to enslave the very people u desire to be free. the message is the medium, so medium Out your concerns to the local Chinese operative u can site my name if u want to. //

@CollectiveDefence That’s not what it is. It's business. Here you are, so full of pain. Africa will get the help it needs from China and Russia. In fact, the West will unwilling help too, but we know that we have to be weary of the West.
@@oluwatobiadegoke13 China and Russia combined provide 1% of the total humanitarian aid to Africa as a continent. They are more interested in helping autoritarian regimes remain in power, than making the lives of common folks better. And also extracting cheap minerals. So very much neo-colonial masters. There are ofcourse other malign actors beyond those countries. But it’s in the best case deluded and ignorant to think either Russia or China wants to genuinly help a common person.
Why are you crying about it? Take action! The West has certainly lost its grip on Africa. Although it may be slow, Africa will get to the promised land.

@@ryanwalters6184 it's not about whether some would like it to be a "pipe dream" only, it's about, that is what Africa should walk towards and prioritize because the AFCFTA, which is already launched, will require for Africans to look beyond the bolders that were imposed on them. What he is saying is Africa should look inwards above anything and everything else.

Africa debt consists 15% from China and the rest are primarily IMF, World Bank and France. The average interest rate of Chinese loan is 2.4% and IMF/World Bank loan is 20+%, public info from IMF and World Bank. The Chinese base in Africa is a part of UN peace force next to US UK France etc.

@@dpelpal HAHA - The US is in economic and social collapse, its over, its the end of neoliberalism and the end of capitalism. The US has reached interconnected cascading systems failure - every time you try and fix a problem it makes another one much worse. Its over
China's problems are those of a growing transitional economy, post agrarian cheap labour boom to steady state aging economy - this is normal. The Western countries like the US and the UK are suffering the end of capitalism - this is not normal. Western countries like France, Italy, and Sweeden will see the collapse in the UK and the US and very likely change their economies to avoid the worst of it - the future is a mixed economy like China, with massive state control to stop capitalism destroying itself as it has in the UK and the US. Germany might also collapse
China earns 800 billons from International trade in 2023, the higest in the world. And with 3 trillion USD based Reserves and Assets, surely China knows how to manage their funds. Chinese are very good at maths and strategy calculation, even out smart the coleective West. Don‘t you worry, China is not worry, but Western World seems very worried.😂😂😂
The Chinese economy is only troublesome to you guys. 🤣🤣🤣 They are doing fine, not great obviously with so many economies in the West crashing and burning is pretty hard for any economy to do so. But sure, keep 'worrying' about China. 🙄
One difference between the Chinese and the IMF and other western lenders it the projects that are eligible for loans. The IMF will do a detailed financial study and not make the loan unless the project(s) being financed make financial sense, while China will finance almost anything. With the more "lenient" Chinese criteria for loans, the country can end up with a huge airport or port that cannot pay for the loan used to finance it. I also read that the interest rate charged by China is considerably higher than what the IMF charges.
12% debt from China, 70% form from western, overall interest rates is about half of western. the data you get is compare China's highest to Western lowest
Not true the Chinese interest is way smaller that the IMF, why do you think they are going with China? Common sense defeat your argument, why do you think people like there two are worried about what is going on?
FOCAC Motto... No nation will be left behind on the road to Modernisation of Africa China promised US 51bil investment and 1 mil jobs for Africa, causing green eyes in US and India.
Historically that is not true. Lies in 2024 are easily checked. Africa has prospered more with China in the last 20 years that with colonizers for the last 300 years, FACT.

All countries do better when they don't allow other countries to mess with their economy and politics. The nations of Africa forming a united political identity like the EU would be a deliberate association of equals for the purpose of mutual benefit. Africa letting China or Russia or the West or anyone else walk in and take their resources is always going to be harmful for Africa. Even if it brings in a lot of foreign currency, it's just going to cause Dutch Disease and destroy the economy anyway. Better to keep those resources in the ground until you have the infrastructure to process them yourself.
I am from Kenya and i can tell you that Chinese lending and infrastructure is seen in the micro level. When South African people were struggling against Apartheid it was the Soviets and the Chinese who helped and not the West who branded Mandela a dangerous terrorist and communist. South Africa has a unique problem of Xenophobia that is not prevalent in the rest of Africa but the corruption in SA has nothing to do with outsiders whether from the East or West.
Hahahaha what a clown. China has 6 times more smart people in STEM than US and EU combined. Go to china , you see the future. Go to your countries are fast becoming third world
It's mutual, we want the goods, they want the work. If they stopped trying to claim an island they failed to invade decades ago, we would both benefit from a business relationship.
How can a train reporter completely be blinded to what China has achieved for itself and Africa? China is not perfect and its economics has faults, plus it still has a long way to go to boost developed. Any trustworthy reporter should look at China shortcomings and achievement. It sounds like everything is wrong with China. If so, U.S. should be carefree about China. But it’s not, it’s worry about China’s increasing role in Africa. So what has China done right about Africa? What does need the new agreement will mean for Africa in the next decade, pros and cons ? He said nothing that short besides labeling. It’s such a disappointment and wasted my 10 minutes.
Why are you surprised. Anglo Saxons do not want you to prosper. They think that they are the only ones that is suppose to enjoy the things that God has provided for everyone.
Why are you concerned with what China and Africa are doing, why can’t the west offer Africa alternative source of financing? Sounds like the west has nothing to offer as we see in the Ukraine war
@@kaboonali5466 we have seen what China has promised in the South Pacific, east Asia and so forth. Track record and history shows it’s not much. The funny thing is it’s going broke at home for an imperial ambition so if if you want to compare it to Ukraine I’d say China is more like Russia than you appreciate. As far as the west is concerned it’s simple, you don’t put money somewhere that is a bad investment.
At around 6:00 Ian makes the statement "(West) gotta step-up in Africa". This is the traditional gotta compete with China (or Russia) for influence in region X or country y mentality. Let me first ask the basic question of, how does "stepping up" a.k.a. giving foreign aid, benefits the giving country?
The thing people need to understand about BNR initiatives is that they were sold as expensive projects that would pay for themselves, but the projects would not be finished before repayment was due.
And then they went over budget and the revenue was overstated. Because nobody actually saw if the project would be feasible before they started the project.
@@ryanwalters6184 Fun facts based upon statistics. Virtually all large infrastructure (and IT) projects go over budget, and over schedule, often to absurd degrees. The reason is that there is political pressure to get the given project underway, at the expense of spending the time to thoroughly plan out the specifics (i.e., what materials do we need, when do we need them, what are the technical considerations, etc.). To learn more about this, read the book, "How Big Things Get Done," by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner. Think about that. Just basic research shows that large projects will go over budget, and over schedule. This implies that *all* BRI project loans are predatory, with foreknowledge that: 1) the target country will not insist upon planning the projects thoroughly; 2) the project will not be completed according to schedule; 3) the project will need additional funding to complete; 4) the finished project was "sold" on the premise that it would generate revenue that would pay for the project; and 5) payment of loans would be demanded before project completion. Now, compare with George C. Parker, who (died in prison for) swindling people into purchasing real estate that he did not own. The BRI projects, all of them, are more sophisticated con games, wherein a pretence of project construction is made under terms that will *never* achieve the original promise.

According to Statista, WEF and... any other statistics source, really, there has been a massive upward trend in global education level in the 2000s and 2010s. Quoting "How place of birth shapes chances of going to university: evidence from 7 African countries", the education systems were reformed again in the 90s in the majority of Africa, this time more successfully, although inequality of access is still present or growing with urban centers having way easier access to it. However, more people also live in urbanized areas now.
You should also look up the HIPC and related Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative programs and what they did.
@@DarkRockslizer My point was regarding the claim that China is creating a debt trap. My evidence was that the WB and IMF were the OG on the said debt trap. I don't see how this is irrelevant, unless you misunderstood the intention of my comment. Furthermore Africa is still experiencing the detrimental effects of WB and IMF policies.
You wanna take your chances with China or Russia, be my guest. But don't come crying to us when it all ends in tears. I fact, why don't you go emigrate there instead of sneaking into Europe
I would encourage people to research what this contributor is saying as the majority of his comments are simply wrong. Take Zambia, this East African country owes the majority of its debts to "Western" institutions. China accounts for under 30% at 4bn US Dollars. Look up America's AFRICOM, which has 30 military bases and facilities in Africa, including 2 in Kenya. It's all there for anyone to research.
My country sends billions of dollars every year to Africa and has done so since the 1960's. We have also forgiven hundreds of billions of dollars of loans made to African countries during that time period. China doesn't want to give money to Africa they want to make short term loans at unreasonably high interest rates, hire only Chinese and non-African workers to work on investment projects, and then take over outright control over huge mines, airports, seaports and the like should these countries miss even one payment while saddling Africa with huge amounts of debt that they know Africa can't payback. This is nothing more than a huge money grab by Beijing that Russia is also trying to copy. Just the USAID program alone sent over $6billion in 2022 to Africa just by itself, and that doesn't even calculate how much church and other charity NGO's give to Africa yearly.
@GenXerReacts Why talk about a subject that you clearly know nothing about? The "Western" claim that Zambia in Africa was the most indebted to Chinese. You can Google Zambia's external debt and where the debt interest is going. The time that I checked, "Western" institutions like the IMF/World Bank and private lending institutions accounted for between 66% and 75%, and the remainder was China. Now Africa and China might be emotionally triggering issues for you. But these are the facts. Your feelings do not trump these facts. BTW, which country is "your country?"
I'd like to see how Chinese media influence campaigns are being run in African countries....
My opinion is to allow African nations to determine the optimal investments in their economies and, by extension, their security.
After centuries of colonial subjugation, the Africans may be more interested in other options.
yeah, but that cash can save a lot of bodies from starvation, or from worse than imagined events. // perhaps u can send your Op to Xi and have his men re coin flip and bad debt some of the loans that seem to enslave the very people u desire to be free. the message is the medium, so medium Out your concerns to the local Chinese operative u can site my name if u want to. //

From one colonial master to another, i assume?
@CollectiveDefence That’s not what it is. It's business. Here you are, so full of pain. Africa will get the help it needs from China and Russia. In fact, the West will unwilling help too, but we know that we have to be weary of the West.
@@oluwatobiadegoke13
China and Russia combined provide 1% of the total humanitarian aid to Africa as a continent. They are more interested in helping autoritarian regimes remain in power, than making the lives of common folks better. And also extracting cheap minerals. So very much neo-colonial masters. There are ofcourse other malign actors beyond those countries. But it’s in the best case deluded and ignorant to think either Russia or China wants to genuinly help a common person.

The Western countries like the US and the UK are suffering the end of capitalism - this is not normal.
Western countries like France, Italy, and Sweeden will see the collapse in the UK and the US and very likely change their economies to avoid the worst of it - the future is a mixed economy like China, with massive state control to stop capitalism destroying itself as it has in the UK and the US.

Don‘t you worry, China is not worry, but Western World seems very worried.😂😂😂
The Chinese economy is only troublesome to you guys. 🤣🤣🤣 They are doing fine, not great obviously with so many economies in the West crashing and burning is pretty hard for any economy to do so. But sure, keep 'worrying' about China. 🙄
One difference between the Chinese and the IMF and other western lenders it the projects that are eligible for loans. The IMF will do a detailed financial study and not make the loan unless the project(s) being financed make financial sense, while China will finance almost anything. With the more "lenient" Chinese criteria for loans, the country can end up with a huge airport or port that cannot pay for the loan used to finance it. I also read that the interest rate charged by China is considerably higher than what the IMF charges.
12% debt from China, 70% form from western, overall interest rates is about half of western. the data you get is compare China's highest to Western lowest
And China has also forgiven a LOT of debt. I'd like to see the greedy west do that for Africa. Or perhaps build one single road in Africa?
Not true the Chinese interest is way smaller that the IMF, why do you think they are going with China? Common sense defeat your argument, why do you think people like there two are worried about what is going on?

All countries do better when they don't allow other countries to mess with their economy and politics. The nations of Africa forming a united political identity like the EU would be a deliberate association of equals for the purpose of mutual benefit. Africa letting China or Russia or the West or anyone else walk in and take their resources is always going to be harmful for Africa. Even if it brings in a lot of foreign currency, it's just going to cause Dutch Disease and destroy the economy anyway.
Better to keep those resources in the ground until you have the infrastructure to process them yourself.
I am from Kenya and i can tell you that Chinese lending and infrastructure is seen in the micro level. When South African people were struggling against Apartheid it was the Soviets and the Chinese who helped and not the West who branded Mandela a dangerous terrorist and communist.

this Whit-e man is telling his Whit-e audience what it wants to hear rather than the reality they need to hear.
At around 6:00 Ian makes the statement "(West) gotta step-up in Africa". This is the traditional gotta compete with China (or Russia) for influence in region X or country y mentality.
Let me first ask the basic question of, how does "stepping up" a.k.a. giving foreign aid, benefits the giving country?
The thing people need to understand about BNR initiatives is that they were sold as expensive projects that would pay for themselves, but the projects would not be finished before repayment was due.
And then they went over budget and the revenue was overstated. Because nobody actually saw if the project would be feasible before they started the project.
@@ryanwalters6184 Fun facts based upon statistics.
Virtually all large infrastructure (and IT) projects go over budget, and over schedule, often to absurd degrees.
The reason is that there is political pressure to get the given project underway, at the expense of spending the time to thoroughly plan out the specifics (i.e., what materials do we need, when do we need them, what are the technical considerations, etc.).
To learn more about this, read the book, "How Big Things Get Done," by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner.
Think about that. Just basic research shows that large projects will go over budget, and over schedule.
This implies that *all* BRI project loans are predatory, with foreknowledge that:
1) the target country will not insist upon planning the projects thoroughly;
2) the project will not be completed according to schedule;
3) the project will need additional funding to complete;
4) the finished project was "sold" on the premise that it would generate revenue that would pay for the project; and
5) payment of loans would be demanded before project completion.
Now, compare with George C. Parker, who (died in prison for) swindling people into purchasing real estate that he did not own.
The BRI projects, all of them, are more sophisticated con games, wherein a pretence of project construction is made under terms that will *never* achieve the original promise.
