ComfortableRoutine54

This is the CCP’s world view. Chinese dominance of everyone.


StJBe

Only white people bad is what's going on here. If we had the same standards for other cultures, we wouldn't be so accepting of their actual racism and actual slavery that is still going on today. Maybe we would boycott their companies, but no.


Meanjin

Nah, anyone who hasn't had their head buried in the sand knows China is one of the worst human rights abusers for the past 100 or so years.

Gloomy_Ad_885

To be fair, boycotting these companies would pretty much be boycotting life, this happens so damn much and the companies are so damn big it’s actually insane.


304bl

That is a very ignorant comment to say. White people done horrible things in the past and some are still today that's a fact yes. But saying only white people are bad is being ignorant on so much horrible stories that happened back in the days. Just a small example about slavery, white people were buying the slave but do you know who where kidnapping those poor fellows to sell them to the white people ? Other black people unfortunately... The history is not black and white 🤔 every one can act as a monster wherever they come from...


PureStrain0

>Only white people bad is what's going on here. Black people are being whipped and beaten on video and the most pertinent and "only thing" going on according to you is "white people bad". >If we had the same standards for other cultures we wouldn't be so accepting of their actual racism and actual slavery. Maybe we would boycott their companies, but no. Very good point, but this is your key takeaway? "The Arabs/Asians/Africans/etc... are doing it without boycotts or punishment!" Yes, lots of societies seem to have disdain and racism for Africans. No, this isn't being ignored because people are unfairly and purposefully focused on white people. For one, when you have freer media coverage and less restricted civil society/social activism then obviously Westerners and Western companies will be disproportionately scrutinised as opposed to non-democracies where similar freedoms aren't always guaranteed. For two, people are obviously going to be more engaged in issues they are closer to if they can directly influence them through elections. You may expect everyone everywhere to not be racist but what (real) power do you have to change, enforce, and/or police these standards somewhere different like China? Seems to me like many people don't care about the actual racial abuse in the video so much as about saying white people are being held to an unfair standard because [insert ethnicity] is beating Africans without repercussions yet the focus is only on white people because "white people bad". It just comes across as being mad you are expected to be anti-racist instead of being mad that racial abuse isn't as effectively policed outside the West.


FrequentGrapefruit30

I believe the person above you is saying that white people are constantly demonized in media for slavery 2 centuries ago, whereas actual slavery and overt racism occurs daily throughout the world from other cultures


leaving_5_Pinz

That's exactly what they said. For that to be the takeaway from this video is tbh insane


FrequentGrapefruit30

There’s nothing insane about saying there should be more awareness through the world for slavery, racial abuse, etc beyond just media highlighting slavery in America 200 years ago and the oppression of African Americans that followed


LTHermies

That's NOT what bro was saying tho. He in response to see Africans being treated like slaves by Chinese people is basically upset because "but if a white person does it, then WE'RE wrong." There are no white people in this video so the only reason to be upset about the image of white people after watching it is because you don't want to be held to such a standard which prevents you from replicating it. As though there isn't prevalent animosity between Asians and blacks IN THIS COUNTRY. As though just because it's an Asian treating Africans like slaves that it somehow doesn't make my blood boil. This isn't about white people. It's about CHINESE companies doing this to Africans. The fucked up thing is that they are likely doing this because western influences taught them to. I live and california and I can't tell you how many times I've met an asian person who was IMMEDIATELY angry at, afraid, or just dismissive of me as a black man. (Though the number has dropped significantly through the years) The few who I eventually was able to converse with not only changed their behavior when they realized my people weren't... well, you know. But they then told me who gave them these ideas to begin with. Guess who? Many Asian cultures historically first came into contact (sometimes forcefully) with western cultures and we're often told about minorities by the hetero normative of the time; (racist) white people. The things they were told are still passed down to this day because actual examples of the contrary are few and far between where they come from and even in America blacks often stick to themselves. This is why when Trump says that Latino immigrants are... well, you know. I know IMMEDIATELY that it's bullshit because I've actually interacted with that group of people. How many black people do you think live in Korea, Vietnam, or CHINA?

I come from Zimbabwe.its not legal but everything is so corrupt that if you have enough money you can get away with anything there.Its even worse now because the government is kissing chinas ass with all the money they’ve been getting from them.That man will not be punished ,in fact he’ll probably get an apology for whatever reason he was beating those two men.It pisses me off so much but there’s nothing anyone could do coz if you speak up you’ll be punished.


FuzzyPossession2

You speak the truth brother.  And they’ll do the same thing they’ve done to Central Asia along the Silk Road.  Promise massive investment/loans to upgrade infrastructure well beyond what the country needs.  Lead these countries to be in an absolute massive amount of debt to China because the infrastructure cost much more to maintain.  Basically steal any natural resources and export them for a fraction of the price because the country will owe them especially when defaulting on the loans.  The Chinese government has been spending the last 10 years, even more setting up countries for failure and hardly anybody recognizes it. 


MonHero02

Like with that massive port they built in Greece.


Gimme-shelter777

Deadsap266

Oh yes the belt and road initiative is screwing over a lot of African countries.


AnarchistAuntie

I mean, maybe? They don’t call Afghanistan the Graveyard of Empires for nothing. 


FuzzyPossession2

Don’t you feel it’s a little ironic that some of the most mineral rich earth on the planet has that nickname??


AnarchistAuntie

Europe and Asia have been marching through there on their way to conquer each other for 5000 years, in the meantime depositing the genes of their most fierce warriors. Afghans routed the US; Russia’s tanks are left to rot in fields and before that they slaughtered the Brits wholesale through the hills. Let China try! No really, let em. 


MonHero02

That is a rough spot to be in. Thank you for sharing.


ImTheFilthyCasual

Belt and Road policy in action folks.


HiroshiTakeshi

Govs are starting to crack down on some Chinese investors that come. It's likely but not certain that this one is one of the illegal ones they are gunning down. If he's a legal one, he'll never face any consequence. But they make money so some locals need them. All around, China has been documented to slowly being taking over a lot of African countries through these means for about 10-15 years. Have been to my home country like 10 years ago and as soon as you left the big cities you'd see Chinese companies employing people to dig and build. This shit is disheartening.


MonHero02

The push for the materials needed for electronics and Africa having so many untapped resources. Its horrible. It is disheartening, This is all driven by demand by so many countries. Much of the metals are mined in surface and river bank mining in working conditions like this so that people can have a cheap cellphone or electronic trinket in their hand. It's messed up. I'm sorry, hopefully in our lifetimes there can be a change.


HiroshiTakeshi

There likely won't. Because as long as it isn't illegal and they can get a quick buck, lots of African leaders don't care about putting the locals in danger. This is a Pandora box, the second they got offered money in exchange for Chinese infrastructures, it was game over. They'll take up the place and make money out of it, plus have the country in their debt because they'll need to maintain the infrastructures. If the Chinese take care of it, you'll be in their debt, because they cost more than you could afford. Africa is a golden goose for them, because they can produce stuff and sell them away.


HelloAttila

Let’s call it what it is. Modern slavery and taking advantage of a country with no work rights/so much corruption. It’s horrible.


DRG_Gunner

Modern capitalism is slavery where you can choose your flavor of oppression


keronus

Bro its africa. Chancea are ita completely legal


Strong_Magician_3320

Africa is not a monolith. Africa is a continent with 53 different countries.


MonHero02

Depending on the country they might have rights that would protect them from an employers abuse, just very little enforcement, and even less employee education on those rights.


Stary_pie

In Rwanda its different


windmill09

No but theives in Africa are regularly murdered.


AdvancedPhoenix

And yet petty thieves aren't the real criminal. The corrupt government giving them no chance at life are the one that should be dealt with.

HiroshiTakeshi

White collared thieves never are.


NoBlissinhell

Drug dealers are regularly killed and I apparently live in a first world country so I don't see the issue.


tommymctommerson

The Chinese presence in Africa, especially Nigeria, is ever growing. Africa will find out the hard way that they are getting in bed with the devil. And when they do, it will be too late. China will rape their land and consume their resources, and treat their people poorly. China has been courting the African governments, and Africa likes it. This is a case of " I didn't know the leopard would eat my face says the person who voted for the leopard eating my face party."


SlowP25

It's kinda sad since Africans are rooting for China and Russia are doing so only because of European imperialism's consequences..


tommymctommerson

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as they say.


AdaptivePropaganda

That’s the hard part of it. Obviously western corporations want nothing more than to exploit the natural resources and cheap labor that would come from Africa, but for the most part (doesn’t apply to the diamond trade), we are beyond the cruel phase of imperialism.


TheDevilsAdvokaat

ashiamate

“Will”? China’s been raping Africa’s land for well over a couple decades now.


Ladyboughner

So exactly the same thing „the west“ did with Africa for the past couple of centuries? It’s pretty messed up.


qtpatouti

So in other words the Chinese are no different from all the other countries that exploited Africa.


tommymctommerson

They will be much, much worse.


ScottieSpliffin

What can they possibly do that’s worse?


prestigious_delay_7

Right? We plucked slaves from there and then dragged them across the Atlantic Ocean for 6 months in the lower decks stacked 9x9 in a damp shitty wooden ship strapped in place. But please, reddit, tell me how the Chinese are going to be worse. And to be clear, this isn't an endorsement of Chinese labor practices - they're truly terrible - I just can't see how it would be worse than the transatlantic slave trade.


JumpingCicada

Not much worse can be done. Westerners didn't hold back because "morals", otherwise they would have never began with it. They milked Africa to the greatest extent they could and it will be no different with China doing it.


6data

>China will rape their land and consume their resources, and treat their people poorly. So exactly what the west has been doing since we discovered boats and guns?


RatmanTheFourth

Yes, it's important not to make that take away from the victims in the DRC, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and many other countries who are being paid pennies for kiloes of precious metals and materials. It's atrocious when the west does it and it's still atrocious and it's still atrocious when China does it.

The waiter reacted because it was her boyfriend, and the three Chinese men pulled the waiter outside and began spitting and bashing this Filipino man in his own soil. Seeing this made me disgusted, but I made sure these three men went on a tour of the hospital and won't be using their hands and legs for four to six months.


twentnime

What you don't see behind closed doors. Their government probably has something since the look the other way. There was a video a while back of a Chinese boss getting jumped because the employees has gotten enough of these beatings

I'm assuming the Chinese man is someone important to the CCCP. Or I'd like to think that the workers/country men would fight back against him. Power corrupts weak minded people into thinking they are above you completely and you are just a tool to be used. I also assume no one is doing anything because they do not want to lose their job.

Yes after watching one Chinese guy beating couple of people all colonialism , imperialism and ongoing exploitation by white people is excused. What an educated take there.


AdaptivePropaganda

It’s not about apologizing, anyone who would ask someone to apologize for the wrongdoings of over 150 years ago are asshats. It’s about recognition in the hopes that such cruelty doesn’t happen again. Though unfortunately slavery is alive and well. It doesn’t look like the Atlantic Slave Trade or most slave systems of the past, but it exists in many if not most parts of the globe, including the US.


kawausochan

There is a long history of anti-African racism in China


qtpatouti

There’s a much longer history of anti African racism in Europe and the Americas. Wayyyyyy longer.


kawausochan

Not mutually exclusive. Europeans were not the only ones to enslave black Africans, Arab merchants did so too and sold them in China among other places. Also slavery was (and sadly still is) a very widespread practice across cultures and time periods, including in Africa and pre-Colombian Americas. Race is only one among many categories that allow our species to justify this kind of cruelty. Edit: iirc, the historic Chinese term for black people is kunlun. Don’t know the hanzi for it though.
