I'm half Chinese. That idiot Chinese ass in this film is lucky someone doesn't go Zulu on his ass. Horrible micro manager who doesn't get respect because he doesn't give it. I hate stupid f's like him. It's apparent every one on his crew hates him. He talks down to everyone. Deserves to have that gravel load bury his arrogant ass.

Whereas you posted this as a dig on black people, the Chinese man has a point. And this is why the Chinese will rape Africa, just like the Euros did.

Wow, who would've thought that if you treat your work force like shit they end up not giving a fuck. There is a reason why the Chinese and Indians are widely despised in Africa.

From my limited experience, the majority of people I worked with in African countries would graft and there was a small core of lazy cunts. Pretty much the same as anywhere else. When there was decent infrastructure in place and sufficient finances things ran smoothly.

Thus it has always been. Ridiculously abundant in mineral and natural resources and no messy laws or regulations, just pay off the local tinpot dictator and good to go. Everybody plays that game, even US corps.
Back in the early 90's, the brother of the woman I was dating got trapped in Angola when some rebels took the town in which he was working. He was in his apartment, but couldn't leave and the bad guys were closing in. Sadly, his fucking phone did work, so we'd get panicked calls complete with automatic weapons fire in the background. The US State Department was useless. They didn't know anything and couldn't do anything. Mike was fucked. Then came Texaco. It seemed that 30 Texaco engineers were in the same town and needed out, so the Texaco corporation fucking rented the Angolan army for a few days and had them fight in and out. Texaco also graciously called other folks and asked if they "needed a ride" (presumably in a Texas drawl). Mike woke up one morning to an APC outside his door. He left everything, they wouldn't even allow his laptop. But he was home in 48 hours.
Fucking Africa.

At least the Chinese are willing to invest in Africa. What other country is investing and building infrastructure in Africa?

Investing in Africa!!! Lol!!! It's a deception, they are only investing so that they can take the raw materials out. You need grab the Cliff's notes of The Art of War.
And last time I checked the Brits and French had set up infrastructure, language, and Euro style of government/judicial system when they colonized...

Yes, and as this documentary points out, the infrastructure was completely destroyed. That's why the Chinese are rebuilding it.

Again, so that they can get the raw materials and goods out of African countries and back to China. It is an ends to a means. Again, the second raping of Africa, and once again Africans are aiding their new masters.

What's wrong with that? It's good for everyone.

I don't know, some people grow up not wanting to live in a big city. Some people like to live a humble life on a farm.
Maybe a lot of these folks are like that? I can appreciate not wanting to live the type A wallstreet banker lifestyle in continual pursuit of wealth.

China does exactly the same thing with Australia. Why is mining and oil exploration in Africa an issue? The Africans don't know how to mine themselves so they let foreign companies do it for them? They're not victims, they're free to ban all foreign companies from entering and yet they welcome them.

Nigeria exports a lot of oil. And there are plenty of Africans who go to engineering school and know how to mine the minerals and get the oil. It's not a matter of knowing, it's the matter of doing and the fact that many of the nations are run by corrupt dictators/eff ups that would rather be paid off or have tons of guns and keep power (among many of things) than see their people (or Africans of other ethnicities) rise. We all know the saying of absolute power.
Also, your last point, no one called them "victims". Quite a pathetic word to use.
Africans captured and sold their own into slavery.
And Africans will sell their own land into slavery, and kill off their own wildlife for the Chinese.
Do not justify the Chinese and what they do.

Nigeria is free to tell every foreign oil company to pack up and leave. You're implying that they're victims by saying Africa is being raped. I don't believe they are victims at all.
I know there are African Engineers, I worked with a woman who was a Chemical engineer from Africa. Where is the Nigerian oil company like Brazil has Petrobraz and Columbia has Ecopetrol.

They do have a victim mentality though, they still blame all their problems on colonialism, racism, Europeans, imperialism and neo-imperialism but never look at themselves and the corrupt and inefficient governments their own people often re-elect.

They are complicit in their own demise aka rape, just as they were complicit in the enslavement of their own people.

I would have to say that many of the ones in charge and their underlings do. Many of the Africans that I went to university with didn't share that.
You can point to that as a reason for certain things, but not as an excuse. I was recently talking to an African from Gambia and he stated that the ones in charge stamp out any thought of regime change or doing things to benefit the people. Any and everything must be to benefit them and keep them in power.
The use of colonialism is an excuse to play the victim and to be "saved".
Mugabe had famously stated "Look East instead of Looking west", well how about looking to themselves.

Rape by definition is non-consensual, no?

Legal mining, oil exploration, manufacturing, and construction by Chinese companies is now considered rape. Even if it is encouraged and welcomed by the governments and citizens of these countries.

Just look at Bill Cosby for your answer.Legal mining, oil exploration, manufacturing, and construction by Chinese companies is now considered rape. Even if it is encouraged and welcomed by the governments and citizens of these countries.
How about this, you pay for front door, but sneak in backdoor. No agreement for backdoor, and you force it. Now what is that?
And as you said, encouraged by the corrupt governments who get payoffs and bribed. Not encouraged by the actual people.

Weak, Parker. Most/many of his accusers say they never consented and claimed to be unconscious. True or not, it certainly nullifies your comparison. Wordplay is all.

No one in that film seems to know what the hell they're doing.

Yet China's fault?
Seems you're just upset ANYONE has the nerve to mine resources in Africa other than Africans, who are clearly incapable of handling their own shit. All legit, legal contracts and all, but they're the bad guys because of this shithole's OWN corruption. Oldest f'n civilization on the planet and just look at the God-forsaken place.
Perhaps they're simply beyond help and China's just fine with a little Internet criticism.

To be frank (Bad as "In all honesty"?), Boss Chinaman is quite the bullyish grouch. But considering what he's dealing with there, he still doesn't quite hit me as the villain he might be in another setting.
And I'd like to say his pissy attitude wouldn't be tolerated in a developed nation, but haven't we all worked for a guy like this before?

chinese mine for their own. Not for anybody else, and make it seem like they are helping Africans. And then what happens next? Next up is colonizing it, then human rights abuse. Oh, the whole "please help us from the Chinese". It's like many of you all have never read The Art of War when it refers to deception.
The Europeans sure did mine African "resources"...called their people. Then divided up Africa like slices of pie, and had their own colonies. So, what was the result? In the New World after slavery you had a population that you didn't know what to do with, and in Africa/North Africa you have streams of immigrants now coming back to their colonial "headquarters".
Africans need to learn to stop being everybody's charity case and go to mule. Nobody respects the charity case, nobody respects black Africans, and nobody really likes them, only pretend to like them in order to get what they want.
But, I guess it's ok with you. Mother Africa, used and abused like usual.

I don't know what the solution is. Clearly, Africa is the Cradle of Stupidity. If we built a wall around Africa and ignored it for 50 years, not a single human would be left alive on the continent at the end. Well, fucking Mugabe would probably still be there, surviving on the blood of infants and counting stacks of worthless money.

Even dickheads I've worked for had at least something I could see keeping them employed. The main Chinaman seemed like the wrong man for the job. Couldn't negotiate or develop working relationships. Seemingly couldn't even set appointments. Total rack of nemawashi. Definitely not a procurement guy.
Crapping on and on about theft (measuring the fuel in the tank at the day's end, which was pure Captain Queeg) but never suggesting, hey, maybe we outta have a fenced in area to put all our shit in overnight, perhaps locks on things, or a guard. Real cutting edge security measures.
Couldn't run people. They seemed confused about what he wanted them to do. No systemization. Good workers do better without it, but it's safer to just define shit clearly and give 'em a little checklist. Did it? Tick. Confirmed. Ok. / Did it? Tick. Not done. Fired.
Complaining that black drivers are hard on the trucks yet apparently had hired on no maintenance people at all. No one to fix something as basic as a tailgate latch. The last straw for me was when he told the gravel guys that the gravel is all going to spill out and they'll just have to fix the truck.
I may have melted. I remember hearing someone yelling. [You ought to be serving hollow scoops to children down at the 31 Flavors from under a turquoise paper hat! Holy Moses, how did the other applicants present? I'd sack that incompetent little asian man so fucking hard he'd be seeing noodles! Then it's on to Peking toting a kaiser blade to find the one who hired him! Kubi ni naru, Chumono! It's your fucking company's truck, you dipshit choge! Come back when it works, howsabout!] The cherry on top was when they bash the shit out of it to break the weld at the other end.
Frankly, they should hire me. Let the bidding commence.

I was going to compliment you, but you forgot to bribe them with watermelons.

Damn. Must be horrible to see your country go from the jewel of Africa to the shit it is now in. A lot of people complain here about the EU and US, but it's nothing like the downhill slide of SA.

Reserved for Tier 2 workers who have proven themselves. Additionally, they don't live 30 to a tent and sleep on the ground. 28 to a tent, hessian cots. The space voided by 2 bodies is for the melons.
Tbf, I fucking love a cold watermelon in the heat. And BBQ ribs are the shit. Also phat ass white girls.

Barely got past "They mine for their own," sorry. Did I miss the part of the film where this was some freebie humanitarian effort? If so, disregard the following:
They employed locals and patronized their useless companies? Contracts fulfilled, compensation allotted, then, per you, Africa fucks Africans. Yet, again, though, China's fault, because "Mother Africa, used and abused like usual." Not sure you're making the best case for sympathy, either, really. Just venom for "users" is all.
Fair enough.
Why, then, doesn't wonderful Mother Africa just rebuild its own infrastructure (since maintaining was obviously outta the question), mine their own shit? Why don't the good ones oust the bad? Why does a civilization as old as mankind itself - with all that time to evolve, to learn, to prosper, to show the species how shit is done - STILL live like this?
Doesn't sound like you pity the poor, primitive tribesmen as much as we should just all despise whomever "exploits" (lucrative contracts/local business, employment aside) this particular, resource-rich continent, whose governments are apparently open for business.
And, yeah, the horror of "colonization" and all, with its modern technology, paved highways, railroads, electricity, and vast employment - sorry, enslavement - of otherwise zero-income idlers. The horror, indeed. Best to let Africa fix Africa, huh?
Sounds like you care about helping 'em about as much as me, friend.

Excellent points, Shakespearean eloquence. Per usual.

It was interesting how pissed this guy was that the country let the infrastructure like that railroad just go to rubble.
It's like he genuinely was hurt by it.
I can certainly try to empathize with both parties, but it's easy to see how it looks like a man trying to herd cats. How do you make people simply give a damn? Can you?

More importantly, where's today's Lumumba or all the Lumbumbas since '61?

Even dickheads I've worked for had at least something I could see keeping them employed. The main Chinaman seemed like the wrong man for the job. Couldn't negotiate or develop working relationships. Seemingly couldn't even set appointments. Total rack of nemawashi. Definitely not a procurement guy.
I don't think Lao Yang is the doofus people are making him out to be. He's head of logistics for the largest rail engineering and construction company in China. This is a $6 Billion dollar project to construct 2,000 miles of roads and 1,800 miles of railway tracks in Africa.
The Congolese government was supposed to deliver equipment, building materials and food, but nothing arrived, so he was forced to leave the camp and find everything for himself.
He doesn't suffer fools lightly, sounds like half the people on Getbig.

I don't want to be unfair to him. How things get done isn't something that a What & When Executive of his position should have to be troubled about. I'm sure he's an absolute weapon when it comes to arbitrarily nominating deadlines and summing up spreadsheet columns.
As soon as they get him a desk to sit behind all day, shit's really going to start happening.

Damn. Must be horrible to see your country go from the jewel of Africa to the shit it is now in. A lot of people complain here about the EU and US, but it's nothing like the downhill slide of SA.
The worst is worrying about currency devaluation and exchange rate volatility.
I actually did live in the UK for almost ten years and came back and despite the problems I still prefer living in SA.
Thankfully the world has woken up to nature of the ANC regime and they are going downhill too, only a matter of time before they lose more regions.

At least they ended that nasty apartheid, right? Hell, I ain't gonna play Sun City!

At least they ended that nasty apartheid, though, right? Hell, I ain't gonna play Sun City!
They didn't end Apartheid, there was a referendum and 70% of whites voted to have negotiations to allow majority rule.
But that's the past, what matters is now and the future.

The hell you say! Nelson Mandela. Early 90s, remember? There was a concert. Jackson Browne, Lou Reed. Peter Gabriel. Neil fucking Young. Sanctions and shit. Nobel Peace Prize.
Made all the papers, what'd I miss?

What are ya talking about? Nelson Mandela. Early 90s, remember? There was a concert. Jackson Browne, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel. Neil fucking Young. Sanctions and shit. Nobel Peace Prize.

There were two referendums, one in the late 80's and one in 1992.
