China mines DR Congo's vast mineral riches - 2 Nov 08

[MPArmstrong84]

What about Belgium, USA, Germany, Canada, and Isreal?!?!? What bullshit!!!!!!

[BatusaiJack]

Africa is getting raped by China.

[TheEwooz]

@BatusaiJack - AFRICA is always raped by the west

[Riddlerx333x]

@BatusaiJack AFRICA WAS RAPED BY WESTERN COUNTRIES

And Im American!

[liyah623]

The simple truth is African leaders are to blame. If they could make better use of what they do get eventually they would have gained enough leverage to ensure that ALL (WESTERN AND CHINESE) corporations paid the rightfully prices for the minerals they get. The Chinese are just colonisation with different skin colour. The chinese have been in Africa since 2000 what schools have they built what roads or hospitals have they built. NON. This is what the corrupt governments say just to cover up

[Riddlerx333x]

@liyah623 African leaders are bought and paid for by MI6 and CIA. Look at Angola during the 1980's CIA back resistance vs Soviet backed loyalist. Its a divide and conquer technique to scour the land for resources and steal precious goods, no domestic investment for Africans just exporting all the valuables to western countries. O and these "human right groups" are no help BTW

[Rainbow6Team]

China is gonna make Africa it's own slave.

[hxasmirl]

Hardly surprising. of course everyone wants a piece of that diamond, platium, gold and oil rich region.

[MrXutopia]

Since when aljezarra becomes so western?

[OscillatorCollective]

OH, SO NOW CHINA IS OUT TO RAPE AFRICA...THIS HAS TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD....AT LEAST I HOPE SO.

[miskittt]

What a crock to anyone Pro- China anywhere in the world. If they can feed plastic to their own children in the form of baby formula and have no qualms about it, what do you think they will sell to the Africans. Just a few years ago when the U.S. could not produce enough drywall for construction, China sold them drywall that made nearly everybody that bought it very ill. Let Africa enjoy the fruits of their own labor and mineral riches for once.

[Jellolion1]

@miskittt nobody died from that baby formula. At the same time that was playing in the news, a bunch of babies in the US were dying from e-coli tainted baby food, made right here in the US, but nobody said a word about that. Propaganda is bullshit.

[Jellolion1]

Respond to this video...The Chinese government has advanced faster than anybody predicted. They are still building their infrasstructure. Think of the US in the early 1900's, before the muckrakers. It was much worse. Anybody with brains knows we have much to gain from a good relationship with China, and so much to lose if we let the bullet heads start another cold war.

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

China is playing the people from the west are demons card. There is Europeans Americans present but the chinese have this wraped up, pity all i would love to see is Africans profit from there resources more than any country but it is clear they don't have the money to extract the numerous minerals that Africa has. Fuck all you greedy cunts we know you have no shame explotation, yeah and i am talking to you Chinese $40 is that all you can muster for these hard working people. You have built ?.

[ddsharper]

@ukandoittowithkandoo the west is a big demon but so is china.

[Teralek]

@ddsharper Guess who taught them!!

[ddsharper]

@Teralek well, looking back through history, including ancient, no one had to teach them. the japanese were ruthless, when they ruled china, and so are they.

[ddsharper]

@Teralek but I know what you mean and agree with that too. the west is satan's kingdom- covert, sleazy and greedy, willing to take anyone out, even their own. Lincoln, Kennedy, the list goes on.

[ddsharper]

@ukandoittowithkandoo the west are demons but so is china. the african nations have plenty of money, they just have corrupt governments put in by the west and by china. see john perkins's confessions of an economic hitman.

[ddsharper]

@ukandoittowithkandoo amen. remember they are controlled by the world bankers and illuminati too. check out john perkins' vids. also protecting africa's site.

[Sunclief]

Well of course they support corrupt regiems they are brothers in arms, (communist buddies) and always have been along with most of Africa.

[mckaykeith]

get them asians out of Africa !

[cyclohexane1]

So sad. If DRC had been advanced they would be making China bend head over heels for their resources. This fool Nkunda wants to start stuff. The current admin should just get some Chinese mercenaries and just finish his little hopeless army off. Man, look at the Chinese, so efficient and straight to the point. Let China just take over Africa, so they can actually develop. Let's hope that those schools and roads won't be rundown or destroyed in typical African fashion.

[mizutofu]

Gimme a break, the biggest butchers in Africa are western corporations like De Beers and Barrick Gold. 10 million killed in the Congo War so that American corporations can harvest minerals from Congo.

[tech4156]

should be more schools, more roads and hospitals, electricity and factories.

[landwarrior82]

Go China Go

[sunnycatch]

instead of easily hiring one guy with a machine to dig the hole, thousands r employed who could have joined a war. it's like the africa/chinese revolution! the negative spin on china by western countries & media is annoying

[EliteBusJr]

THeirs already tons of gold circulating around the world, It;'s the greedy fucking Jews that hold it up and wait for demand to rise, all the gold that's been mined a thousand years ago is still in circulation.

[irish2025]

Buddy,

I am not jewish, but look as this utube and satisfy your mind,,,, it is slant eyes that you have to fear.... not tiny jews.

[mizutofu]

The world's biggest gold mining company is Barrick Gold, owned by a jewish family. Chinese companies are new comers, Western corporations have been in Africa for 100 years and still own most of the gold mines in Africa today.

[mizutofu]

Anglo American PLC owns 45% of of the share.

Oppenheimer family owns 40% of the share.

Republic of Botswana owns 15% share

Chairman of De Beers: Nicky Oppenheimer

[mizutofu]

what about Jews borned and raised in Europe?

[mizutofu]

The biggest diamond mining company in Africa is De Beers, owned by a European Jew.

[mizutofu]

The biggest diamond mining company in Africa is De Beers, owned by a European Jew.

[fuckAmericantodeath]

yeah, White people just capture the black and sell them in America and Euro as slaves

[j0n52]

Why not support General Laurent Nkunda, plunge the Congo into permanent civil war, kill as many Congolese as possible, build permanent army bases and get all the riches for free?

[Bostonking8]

human right groups = shit and liar

[southbobby]

lol .Ameria and europe have be fucking over africa and africa americas for a long time. China isn't perfect, but i would rather see the piss off america buy gaining a larger share in Africa.

To hell with America.

[Khadijah4peace]

Sorry I meant Niger.

[promi5e]

Not the Land mass known as China, but the Peoples Republic of China government personnel are the devils in these details.

[kkklownknight6699]

40 cents an house isn't bad for a country like Congo.

If he/she works 5 hours that's around $2.00 a day which meets international standards.

Your comments are spam and should be deleted.

[Kalydosos]

No let the idiots speak you'll them better and where they are.

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live a prosperous and great China!!!

[hesitation24]

you know, whenever I see someone say "Long Live (nation/leader)" I kinda have a biased look towards that comment. Makes me think you're a supremacist and you don't appreciate the fact that there are non-chinese people out there.

Woulnd't it suite you better to say the equivalent phrase: "Go China!" or something to that effect? You know.. something that doesn't sound as "supremacist"?

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live all Chinese.

I m proud of saying that. I m not putting anyone other one down.

So, I really don't know what your intention is, hesistation24?

[hesitation24]

sorry, i just don't like it when people say "long live." Sounds too formal and too patriotic.

[hesitation24]

but if you like China, why don't you say "May China Live Forever" or something to that extent, instad of assuring China's death by giving it a finite life ("Long" Live)?

Just Kiddin' ya.

[Jellolion1]

the great intellectual piomoa weighs in.

[onegoodman66]

China, how dare you follow our western countries' steps? How dare you do the same thing we west did many years ago? How dare you? Ok, we'll send our journalists (aka. dogs) to distroy your PR...hahaha

[Jellolion1]

china follows in western countries steps? The western countries went into africa and stole what ever they wanted. China is buying what they need, setting up long term contracts, building hospitals and schools.

[ddsharper]

@Jellolion1 - also doing a lot of evil over there, they are such racists. trust me. they are gaining a whole lot more than they are giving. there is a stronghold on everyone in every walk of life in this world and there are a few who are behind it, in all nations. trust that.

[Jellolion1]

and you want to talk about human rights? What pedestool does the US have left to stand on? Corrupt elections, torture in prisons in Guantanamo, Bush administration profiteering from corrupt outsoucing in Iraq. Not to mention how many we killed in Iraq. China did everything through business contract. No shooting or bombing involved.

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live China.

[Jellolion1]

I think what china is doing is incredible. They are competing directly with the west in these markets, and beating the west's pants off. All the US president can say is "please dont lock up all the oil in long term contracts."

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live a prosperous and great China.

[Jellolion1]

Bush promised in his first campaign that he would get control over oil prices, because "he knows", "he is an oilman after all". Well that turned out to be a pile of BS. He cant do anything. All he can do is ask China, "please please do us a favor and leave us some oil." We need to take a few lessons from China.

[Jellolion1]

This is the end of US free market capitalism, as we know it.  It is a primitive system, and behaves like a wild beast, uncontrollable. Look at all these massive bailouts. Call that free market capitalism?? Afraid not. It is socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor and working people.

[Jellolion1]

and with our current system, there is no way we can compete with countries like China and Russia. We need to rethink everything, from the ground up.

[ESP1EMG]

once the people realize they can elect the politicians who offer the most money from the national treasury, democracy is gone. thats what is happening.

[Jellolion1]

the already spend most of that money they took out, and what did they get out of it? nothing. But I am sure some people got rich from that money.

[Teralek]

@Jellolion1 Very true my friend! We have to do something about it. This kind of economy can't go on. Call it what you will. Neither Capitalism or socialism can go on. The baiouts were necessary to prevent what happened in the 30s. This was agreed throughout all political spectrum. To big to fail... Well if they are to big to fail they are too big to exist!! Let's end this huge inequality now and forever

[ddsharper]

@Teralek How?

[Teralek]

@ddsharper I don't know how... I think there is no hope... maybe I'm being pessimistic but given the way the world is going I don't see how can more and more injustices can be averted... The only way is by massive upheaval of people all over the world... this isn't impossible... but is only going to happen when most people all over are induring pain, or when some kind of Gandhian leader appears...

[ddsharper]

@Teralek Right. you are so correct. scary and sad cause if a Ghandi type leader does appear they will be assasinated.

[Jellolion1]

@ddsharper for one thing, how about following the US constitutional law. The purpose of corporations are to serve the people. That is the primary role, and every corporation needs to be measured up to that standard. Corporations certainly do NOT have the rights of citizens, as they tell us today. This is fascism, pure and simple. They put corporate rights ahead of civil rights, and people buy this horseshit.

[ddsharper]

@Jellolion1 I agree with you wholeheartedly and after reading many of your posts I am glad to say that some sane people, sane and principled, are posting on YouTube. Godspeed to you.

[Jellolion1]

Respond to this video...second, dissolve the big brokerage houses that run wallstreet. They are a bunch of crooks and the government looks the other way. Ever since the development of the internet, on line stock trading,the primary business of the wall street firms was lost. So they started inventing all this weird, highly risky stuff, and break a bunch of laws in the process. Corporations could sell their stocks on Ebay, and it would be much more efficient.

[Jellolion1]

Respond to this video...third, get the defense contractors away from our elected officials. One thing everybody should have learned from the end of the cold war was that it was a farce. The soviets were never a serious threat. They threatened each other so that our politicians and their politicians could gain power, and keep people in fear, keep them willing to spend all the countries money on military junk that doesnt even work.

[Jellolion1]

Respond to this video...all that money spent on stealth bombers.They used them once in Iraq, built special facilities to fix them, but stopped using them after 1 mission. Used them for photo-op.The weapons systems we build are actually useless in the types of conflicts we face. We dont need supersonic planes that go in straight lines really fast. We need slow, manuverable aircraft to aid ground troops.Think prop driven aircraft. But thats not sexy, so we spend trillions on junk.

[Jellolion1]

Respond to this video...third, end all corporate contributions to political campaigns. We want our government to represent the people, not corporations. They will represent whoever puts them in power, and right now, it is corporate money that is kingmaker. Simply outlaw corporate contributions all toghether. Only american citizens can give small, regulated contributions to politicians. Or give every politician the same amount of money from our taxes, and thats all they can use.

[JTR154]

該回去好好讀語言

[filmviewer7]

So aljazeera is neutral as a whole or biased like the western media?

People need to stick to realism than to idealism. Don't tell me that ONLY China do this stuff. Everyone does. Also, don't report like China FORCED this onto Congo; Congo signed out of its own volition!!

Why Renaissance replaced the Middle Ages? Reality replaced idealism!!!! Let's not go back to idealism!!!

Many years of Western occupation and still Africa is poor today! Who is to blame?

[Jellolion1]

aljazeera is a pretty damn good source of news. Cant get any news of what china is doing in africa (beating the pants off of the US) from US crap sources. You want to talk about biased news, look at US news media. Look how they biased the reporting of the war in Georgia. Do you think the US is building hospitals anywhere in africa, in return for mineral deals? Afraid not.

[ddsharper]

@filmviewer7 owned by jewish interests. aljazeera. did you know that?

[perukoreasuspend]

Please don't mark twgwe123 comments as spam

Thank you

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live China.

[Jellolion1]

why cant the US do this? We spend billions and billions on the war in Iraq, but we get nothing out of it. We have lost of oil in Alaska, but all we can do is rent out the land to foreign oil companies, for a pittance. China is demonstrating the power of state run industries. Central planning, devise a strategy, and go out in the world and get what you need, and bring it home to the state run industries.

[Jellolion1]

The chinese government can build hospitals and schools in africa, and in return, get minerals to bring back to china. This is all one cohesive, unified strategy designed to advance China. While all Bush can do is say "please china, leave something left over for us".

[Agric0la]

problem is some of the deals China makes are considered bribes under Western law.

The West needs to stop trying to make the world idealisitc and just be pragmatic like China.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

So you are saying the Chinese are unethical.

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live China.

[samkoi56]

Once again Aljazeera is bias against China digging garbage out and throw it at China like CNN and BBC.

DO OTHER COUNTRIES POISON THEIR CHILDREN WITH MELAMINE? NO!

DO OTHER COUNTRIES VIOLATE 1951 UN REFUGEE CONVENTION BY RAPING AND DEPORTING NORTH KOREANS?NO!

DO OTHER COUNTRIES STEAL WHOLE COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA STOLE TIBET AND EAST TURKISTAN? NO!

:) YEAH SCAPEGOAT THEORY...nice!!

[ivmm1204]

Read the history:

Who killed all American indians and occupied their land?

Who was the biggest drug dealer and initiated a war for opium?

Has European ever invaded Tibet-the answer is yes.

Who divided india into india and Parkistan and left endless war their?

Has Tibet ever been a country?--the answer is No,it is just a matter of autonomy.

Which country in the world has a clean history?

Before you pointed your finger to others, look at yourself first.

[popqq123]

save your breath, its no point of educating these hard headed people. we might as well just read their comments and laugh and go on with life, just focus on education and leave these dumbass people being dumb, just remember our life is more important than these useless fags, so whats the point of educating them? right?

[pleasantlysurprising]

long live China!!!

[Jellolion1]

the united states is opposed to the conflict in Darfur? Is that statement based on the actions of the US to stop the conflict? or just wishful thinking? We are the most powerful country in the world. If we were really against the conflict, something would happen.

[Jellolion1]

And I guess everybody forgot about the way the US exported all of those OB tampons to China after they couldnt sell them in the US because of toxic shock syndrom? What about all of the US tobacco marketing in China that would be illegal in the US? Nobody is innocent.

[twgwe123]

Africa...abused by the british empire, then abused by their own african leaders and now abused by the chinese...

sad but true.

CHINA STOP RAPING NORTH KOREAN DEFECTORS!

North Korean women sold into Chinese farms live like animals, beaten and sexually abused by their Chinese husbands. In many instances North Korean women have to please all of the men in a Chinese household just to get food.

How much longer must we sit and watch these women live such horrific lives in North Korea and be sold off for just W46,000?

[pleasantlysurprising]

Long live tibet as part of China.

[pleasantlysurprising]

twgwe123 is jealous of China.

[Jellolion1]

The US gets its oil and minerals from corporations and private companies. The US government has no power over these companies. We cant benefit from say the oil in Iraq, because the US government has no direct control over decisions regarding oil. We rely on oil corporations to do the best thing for us. While China can align foreign policy with a strategy to get what they need in terms of natural resources, or anything else in that regard.

[joshua2daniel]

go ask any iraq people from that country after the war against them for oil. Now U.S get your oil from iraq paying half price or less.

[bg24955]

the most corrupted regime of this planet is Iraq.

[zorro1babel]

ce pas normal ces conerie!!

[disintegration13]

what's the problem here? china needs it's minerals for it's every growing economy...and the dr congo needs much needed infrastructure and education damaged by years of war. that's called a symbiotic relationship. i don't see any killing any exploitation...i see trade. it's essential to all nations.

[alfalhomi]

The problem is that the Chinese are ripping Congo off. The Congo are only now slightly less poor and slightly less sick while the Chinese businessmen grow fat off of their labor. Hurry up General Nkunda! Your country needs you!

[joshua2daniel]

i guess rob them and smugger as slaves without any human right and salaries are better choice from BBC's view? How stupid they make such a film to humiliate themselves.

[mightyali]

at least the chinese are not invading congo...killing innocents by accusing them of terrorists

[roswold]

this has become a familiar scene through-out the whole of Africa as each country got their independance to rule them-selves. I believe Obama will demonstrate to Africa that country leadership qualities come from good cultural back-ground and nor racial qualtities and that people in America acknowledge this as they place their vote.

[leepakim]

good bye USA. Chins is the new Superpower.

[justjeshb]

Exchanging raw materials for building infrastructure? low wages for the Africans? Proping up corrupt non-democratic reginmes in the countries? Doesn't sound like colonialism or imperialism at all! :-S
