2:17 pm
piece cable. so next park is done east africa and to europe. it is part of the digital sewage road, china's band to expand its digital influence around the world. for years, china has been making deals with political leaders, especially in the global south to build smart cities and install surveillance cameras, sometimes china, even for the bill. so how does this take benefit citizens be on the c? p is cable, brings past them all by internet to can yeah, for example, where most people use cell phones to get online anyway. but where do these cellphones come from? i'm using, i mean, i'll put it into to with samsung 830 and i use samsung on. i'm using a techno pop 3 more than 60 percent of the people we spoke to. and i robi, can you use phones made by chinese companies? anthony a while ago uses 2 phones,
2:18 pm
one for mobile money transfers and one for internet. this one is samsung galaxy at 10 s. and this one is a 10, according to multiple loni petula researches chinese businesses in africa. this is exactly the market, chinese phone makers. i've tried to capture average applicant probably be able to cellphones and does to cellphones one has the one is connected to say for example n t n, a network provider, one is connected to saves in another network provider. and because of, um, let's say connectivity issues under particular day the network might be down on the same thing, but then he will walk on an empty ensign. so in that sense, it just fits the price point that a lot of africans are looking for. i mean, it fits the needs of african african consumers, maybe muscles and you're more expensive product like the iceland, for example,
2:19 pm
phones with to sim cards or cameras that capture a wide range of skin towns had made chinese smartphones popular in kenya. anthony kanga, who manages of phone repair center, a seen the market change over time. the nokia was the 1st time in the country. then you meet with people to the chinese funds, which gave me the touch screen. can we better comment on the best screen size and most of the young people, especially after the fighting to go through the chinese drunk because of the price of i knew these phones used to be cheap alternatives. but now manufacturers are matching the quality of their competitors, but there are still significant ways that they can't compare based on my experience, you use it for both tvs and then you start facing facing issues with optics of stuff. yeah. and issues of my teaching dues and the fights, i know it's available, but i think it's very affordable. most people prefer to go we, they take off the via phone 3 as you dump it and you get another one. okay,
2:20 pm
that's not a very long lived span. still, chinese smartphones are popular and can yeah, because the affordable and tailored to the needs of african consumers. so what is china's aim? we spoke to kobus on starting research as chinese investments and advocate for the south african institute of international affairs. they're looking for overseas markets and opportunities, but they're also looking for to, to, to act as a kind of a norm set. and i know lots of kind of like, you know, player in, in the world. so it's looking to, to make the rest of the world friendly or to chinese companies for new to chinese stand of. so china's engagement around the world, fuels the tech economy, back home, the more time these technology sold overseas. the more the systems and processes become the norm, which in turn helps themselves even more products. it also means china plays a powerful role in shaping the future of technology. the international institute for us to teach
2:21 pm
a study says china has been participating in digital infrastructure projects. in 137 countries, it's investing billions of euros. let's take a closer look at one example, a smart city in the making just outside of nairobi, kenya is africa's 1st plan smart city. it's called the console technology, and it's been 10 years in the making. when cons that is done, it's supposed to look like this. uh, high tech oasis outside of the urban hospital. while companies from countries like italy and south korea build apartments and schools. chinese companies take care of tech, the like this surveillance center built by chinese telecoms company. well, way it's connected to a network of cameras. the data from the camera travels through underground internet
2:22 pm
cables to a data center, also built in part by wall way. the internet, the cameras and data storage are all connected, says lucas own below, who manages tons of data center. we realize that in addition to the connectivity level to the quit, we needed a place value with the computer type, compute, and betterment. where all these different let them to collect themselves as well. i'm coming at us from this much. it would be host and to be analyzed. some have raise security concerns about working with wall way. but overload, believes the team is prepared. if you focus on the vendor, then you missed the point. so we have good, continuous planning. why don't we go to a way that a of the engineers network executed specialist while the primary invest bookcase really? we're looking, we just like us. so then i realize that it's higher the company basic us what isaac
2:23 pm
loud. we buy them that we've microsoft for example being some of the sort of shows that, that i that mike look at the us company. so we don't limit this, we can use cons, that isn't the only place storing sensitive information. and while way data centers, senegal agreed to migrate its government data from 4 in servers to its own while we build data center in 2021 and pakistan signed off on an agreement to get one as well in 2019 research remote elani pelt to law says there's a reason countries take on these projects. china is financing itself, play the major really liked the dominance of man trying these companies in, in tech and africa. so technically, equipment mindsets are like um, while way, like um betsy to i me slow um, quantitative price and cost effective equipment and put option solutions. so it's
2:24 pm
played a really huge impact for some countries, china is also is attractive, better digital infrastructure of cheap loans. and technicians who help implement the systems, but it's not always clear if the tech benefit citizens or the people in power at busy highways and intersections across kampala, there are chinese surveillance cameras. the government purchase them for more than 100000000 years. the cameras are equipped with software that recognizes spaces and scans license plates. guns and officials and local journalists have said that some of them are neither monitoring nor recording crimes . members of parliament even called for a review of the cameras after they failed to capture footage of a police officers killing. it's a claim that uses so one you know from you've gone to is police force denies delegation, no situation,
2:25 pm
no tracking. it's like true. the system is working and it's really a separative to, to, to fight, to increase the surveillance cameras had been in use since 2018. they footages the evidence which is driving from the city to the office. from the city resisting his undisputable and the task of reduced to dressed because when they come back, look, we have seen a reduction in the there with the behaves. yeah. the, the people are there was a be so one day road. we have seen a reduction in a bad guys and so forth in the, in the a bunch i think simply because of kind of service people i know more responsive the cameras are part of why ways save city program designed by the chinese telecoms company to deploy surveillance to technology, world wide, safe city technology reportedly helps police to monitor the cell phones. have you
2:26 pm
gone to an opposition candidate, bobby wine. in 2021 wine. last against you, wearing the 70, you kind as president for 35 years. this is why lawyer and digital privacy advocates san paula allen, because he says, it doesn't matter if the cameras work. their true purpose is to deter political opposition that we use to single participation. do use it now to compare to the most christians. it is easy to know and truck with addition, chinese companies may be supplying the technology, but you've gone to the government is deploying it. that for you to pay to steam for it. so there was anything possible why waste save city project is flow with 52 countries participating. according to washington, dc based think tank csr. yes. 71 percent of these agreements are in countries considered partly free for not free. and let's be clear tech used for digital repression is not only exported by china,
2:27 pm
but by western democracies too. so what's the difference reports like this might be the answer, allegedly computers in the african union headquarters. and if you will be a building funded by china was secretly sending data to service in shanghai every night. why this data was allegedly transferred remains aren't clear, but it's supposed to have been going on for 5 years. time denies any wrongdoing, but experts say this is an example of why there are concerns about working with chinese tech designs. so what about us the private use is does it make a difference whether it's k move take talk or google that takes our data? one difference is that chinese companies not in a position to refuse handing over the data to the chinese government, is a lot of, of allegations that they uh, um, what's called the kind of digital back tools kind of built into, into networks. and that's, you know, that would, in some ways, enable surveillance or aspiring or both. so,
2:28 pm
but it's something really the global self largest concern. like i think a lot of double self countries are lot more worried about just getting digital access in the 1st space and paying for china as technology has a global impact. many nations are willing to co operate in order to speed up digitalization, for example, in africa, southeast asia, latin america, eastern europe, and the middle east. but do these tech and pause mean great? the chinese influenza. whether as dave leaders or private uses, we should all can see that how much we use is made in china. you will read about data security, or do you think the benefits of chinese technology outweigh the risk that doesn't know by and see you next time the
