>> trevor: christmas in africa is very interesting. yeah, because it's summer. so it has none of the cheer that you guys associate with it in america. it's just like sweaty people delivering presents. it's very different vibe. like, unwrapping gifts is a lot more fun when you're cozy next to a fireplace. when you're hot, it just feels like a job. do you know what i mean? "what did you get me! why are you making me work? why-- why did you bring it wrapped? why didn't you just bring it unwrapped?" i don't think i ever got a wrapped gift. like, no, when i was a kid growing up, i never got a wrap-- i never understood the concept of a wrapped gift. it only breeds, like, disappointment. everyone is like, "i wonder what it is."

it's never what you thought it is. that's a very sad way to live life. you shouldn't wrap gifts. you know what you should use wrapping paper for, for, like, after the gifts. people give you things, and you go, "muah, i don't like that," and then you wrap it up. that's what wrapping should be for. "i wish this never happened. that's what you bought me forever a year of being in my life?" that's what wrapping should be for. it's not bad, boy the way. i'm saying it's funny, when you come from a different place, your mindset on these things is completely different. i just never had a wrapped present, nor do i enjoy wrapping. i hate when people say that to me-- i have americans in my life who say, "you didn't wrap it?" i bought you some shit. now you want me to wrap it? now i say, "climate change," and they don't say anything. before i had to fight with people. "why didn't you wrap it?" it comes wrapped. it's in packaging. you want the packaging of the

packaging. you know what i mean. "i want the surprise." then close your eyes before you look at the shit. you're going to make the surprise your job. i bought the shit. you know what was a surprise for me? how much your present cost me. "why didn't you wrap this shit?" why didn't you buy it? i can't do everything in your life. some bullshit. merry christmas, everybody. ( laughter ) >> announcer: coming to you from the heart of times square, in new york, the only city in america, it's "the daily show. tonight: omicron, can't stop, won't stop. what china is up to in africa. and bruno le maire. this is "the daily show with trevor noah." >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. let's jump right into today's headlines. we kick things off with the only story everybody has been talking about for two years now: the coronavirus pandemic.

yeah, this thing is starting to feel a lot like a marvel movie. it's exciting, but it's kind of dragging on for a really long time. the omicron wave we've been waiting for has now hit the u.s. for real. hospitals are starting to fill up again. big companies that were planning to bring workers back to the office in january have postponed until may 2097. and concerts and shows are shutting down. a lot of people are saying it feels like march 2020 all over again. but, people, please have some optimism. things are much better now than they were back then. woon, we have vaccines. two, we have treatments. and three, no one thinks zoom happy hours are a good idea. are a good idea. but while we are being reminded just how serious this pandemic is, there are still some people who are taking it just a little bit more lightly. >> a cape coral man was spotted on a united airlines flight

masking up, but not with one of these. he actually was wearing underwear, on his face. this is adam jenny wearing his statement piece, a bright red thong. >> i think the best way to illustrate absurdity is with absurdity, >> jenny says he's worn underwear as a mask since the beginning of the pandemic. >> i am banned from flying united. so, so much for "the customer is always right." >> jenny is comparing himself to civil rights icons. >> everything else that has sparked change in this country has started from everyday people. rosa parks was nobody famous. she changed the course of history. >> trevor: rosa parks? my man, don't be so modest! you're more than rosa parks. if anything, you're the martin luther king of white dudes comparing themselves to black heroes for no reason! shit! for real, sometimes i think conservatives are right: america shouldn't be teaching the history of racism in schools, because then at least white people won't know who to

compare themselves to when they get kicked off airplanes for doing dumb shit. "i'm exactly the same as... huh, i can't think of anybody. maybe i'm just an dumbass wearing panties on my face. i need to reevaluate my behavior." and, by the way, can we all agree there's no way this dude just starting sniffing thongz during the pandemic. i bet you he's been going around for years, "looks like i got kicked out of the dorm because i'm once again the rosa parks of my sister's friends underwear drawer. yeah. someone's got to do it. but as long as we're talking about civil rights, let's move on to a story about martin luther king day. some people are saying america needs to stop celebrating it next year, but the people suggesting it might not be who you think. >> martin luther king iii is asking people not to celebrate his father's legacy on m.l.k. day coming up next month if congress has not passed national voting rights protections. >> they are calling on president joe biden and lawmakers to pass

two voting rights bills that have been stalled in congress. one is aimed at fighting voter suppression and restoring the 1965 voting rights act. the other focused on reforms making it easier to register to vote. >> trevor: this is hard core. but i get why the king family has to resort to this. i mean, with republicans blocking the new laws and joe manchin and kyrsten sinema refusing to end the filibuster so democrats can pass it themselves, someone has to think outside the box. and holding a holiday as a hostage is a great leverage. it's a brilliant idea. i don't care how rainforest you are, nobody wants to give up a day off of work. in fact, if you ask me, they shouldn't threaten to just take m.l.k. day. they should threaten to turn m.l.k. day into a vkd valentine's day. that's a real threat. nobody wants to put their relationship in that much trouble. ( angry spouse ) "you forgot valentine's day!" ( confused spouse ) "again!?" still, this is a risky strategy, because republicans have a way of twisting everything related to m.l.k.

tomorrow, ron desantis could come out like, "the king family is right. we've got to defend dr. king's dream. that's why, from now on, all black people in florida can vote exclusively in their dreams! so no need to show up anymore on election day, black people." we did it. but let's move on to our top story. back in the day, when one country wanted to take over another country, they had to beat them at a war, or they had to rent the other country on airbnb and never leave. but now it looks like a country might take another over with the stroke of a pen. >> china has recently been accused of trying to take over uganda's sole international airport if the east africa country fails to pay a $200 million loan for the expansion of the site. >> at this rate, if uganda fails to repay the loan, uganda's only international airport will soon be a chinese asset. >> in response to the public outcry over the loan agreement the chinese embassy in uganda

issued a statement saying: "not a single project in africa has ever been confiscated by china because of failing to pay chinese loans." >> trevor: wait, china might be threatening to take uganda's airport because of a loan that might not be paid? maybe it's just me, but that statement was not the most reassuring thing we've ever heard. because, "we've never confiscated an airport" is very different from "we're never going to confiscate an airport." if you ask your spouse, "promise you'll never cheat on me," and she says "of course. i promise that, up to now, i have never cheated on you," she gonna cheat on you. and i know what you're thinking right now. "i didn't even know africa had airports." first of all, (bleep) you. we've had them since the 90s. ( laughter ) and, secondly, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on with this story. how can one country take another country's airport? do they just take over its operations or do

they actually get one of those claw things and just scoop it up and take it back to their country? and if so, can they do that to laguardia, too, please? but maybe the biggest question is what is china even doing in africa in the first place? well, let's find out in another installment of, "if you don't know, now you know." ♪ ♪ ♪ africa: it's where i was born and raised and where you miss the rain from. ever since the age of colonialism ended, africa has been working hard to modernize its economies and catch up to the rest of the world. but to do that, it needs lots and lots of new infrastructure: roads, railways, ports, dams, cheesecake factories. you name it, africa needs to build it. the only problem is that stuff all costs a shit load of money, money that most african nations don't have. but in recent years, many of farn countries have found

themselves a new sugar daddy: ( as trump ) gyna. >> over the last several decades, china has been pumping resources into africa. the country has invested hundreds of billions of dollars across the continent, ranging in everything from transportation and infrastructure to real estate and technology. >> large african infrastructure projects would be viewed as risky by any traditional bank and would, therefore, struggle to get financed. but china's export-import bank doesn't care. >> this bank will give low- interest or no-interest loans to african countries so they can build these trains or dams or other projects. china touts the fact that their foreign investment and aid is no strings attached. with no respect for human rights or democratic elections. >> we do not interfere in the internal affairs of african countries, impose our will on african countries, or attach any political conditions on economic aid. >> trevor: that's right, baby. china has been making it rain in africa.

it's the most money anyone has sent to africa without being guilt-tripped by a celebrity singalong. and no strings attached. china doesn't care about your government or human rights or anything. they're basically the "cool mom" of international finance. "you and your friends want to party this weekend? come do it in our basement with your child soldiers. we didn't hear a thing." so in many ways, this is a great arrangement for africa. but maybe it won't come as a surprise that china isn't just giving billions of risky loans to africa out of the goodness of its heart. >> many scholars suggest beijing's true end game in africa is not solely financial, but, rather, political. >> there is empirical evidence that china has been using these infrastructure investments to affect worldwide politics. it's been found that if an african country recognizes taiwan as a country, they receive, on average, 2.7 fewer chinese infrastructure projects within their borders each year. conversely, if an african country votes overwhelmingly along with china in the united nations general assembly, they

receive 1.8 more infrastructure projects each year. >> at one point or another, 30 african countries have had formal relations with taiwan. now eswatini is the only african nation to recognize the island. >> trevor: yup, that's the power of money right there. enough of it can make you switch allegiances, change your principles, do anything. hell, for enough money, you could probably get africans to start saying that africa is just one country: "yes, yes, one big country, full of giraffes. where's the money." still, china has been really successful with this. out of all of africa, every country has broken off relations with taiwan, except eswatini. which means eswatini either really has principles they stick to, or they haven't heard about the deal yet. "good for you, eswatini, refusing that money from china." "what, china's giving out money? hello, taiwan? it's over. i'll come by to get my things later."

and you might say, "well, tough luck for taiwan, but subordinating your foreign policy to another country is probably worth it if it means getting all this investment. i mean, think of all the jobs that these projects create in africa. and it is true, these projects do create jobs. it's just that many of those jobs are going to china. >> in africa, china's estimated to have won almost half of all engineering, procurements, and construction contracts, but those contracts haven't come without controversy. the country's been accused of unfair labor practices in africa, including bringing in its own workers instead of hiring locally. >> the steady influx of chinese companies and workers have fueled accusations that wealth and opportunities are not being shared with the local community. >> we all do the railway work, but the chinese constantly say, we're the boss. we're the ones who run the show. >> this is ethiopia's main chinese economic zone.

this small business makes jeans. everything is imported from china sewing machines, methods and supervisors. >> the average salary of an ethiopian worker is $56 a month, ten times less than the average chinese worker. >> trevor: that's right. when china invests in these projects, they often send over chinese workers to africa to fill all the best positions, which isn't right. the best jobs shouldn't be given to a person because of where they are from. the best jobs should be given to whoever has the best answers in a job interview. "what is your biggest weakness? and don't say 'working too hard!'" "mmm... masturbating in public?" "i like your honesty. you're hired." and even when africans are employed, they're treated differently, sometimes even segregated from the chinese workers. and that's wrong. i mean, we need chinese and african people to spend more time together because of all the

hijinx they'll get up to. we haven't had a "rush hour" sequel in, like, 20 years! so china is gaining control over africa's foreign policy and its best jobs. not to mention, a lot of these projects put chinese companies in charge of africa's prized natural resources, especially precious metals-- which is super important, because those precious metals are in basically ever piece of advanced technology these days: i'm talking everything, cars, appliances, elon musk-- everything. so when you start to examine this relationship as a whole, it actually starts to look less like a loan and a lot more like a new kind of colonialism. and that's before we even get to what happens if the loans aren't repaid. >> analysts have accused them of debt colonialism. there are fears china is making loans it knows the states cannot repay. >> beijing may engage in what critics characterize as debt-trap diplomacy, lending designed to force countries into

handing over land, minerals, and strategic assets when they default on a loan. >> to build this belt-and-road railroad with chinese loans, kenya agreed to apply chinese law inside kenya and give up east africa's largest port if it couldn't repay its debts. >> some countries are relying on gradually repaying their debts to china by shipping specific quantities of oil. >> sometimes, the loans are repaid in natural resources, such as cobalt. >> as africa's largest bilateral creditor, china holds more than 20% of the continent's debts >> many african countries were already crippled under the weight of the money they owe china. now the coronavirus pandemic has made it nearly impossible for many to keep up with debt payments. >> basically, china has negotiated agreements with our african countries which are so egrgious in benefiting china, they could take all of africa at a fire sale price. >> trevor: ah, yes, the debt trap. it's like the thirst trap of infrastructure. china's just strutting around with its railroads hanging out.

what is africa supposed to do? not hit the light button? i mean, say what you want about the european colonizers, but at least they were upfront about it. ( british ) "right, we're taking all your shit, and if you don't like it, go to the u.n. oh, wait, they don't exist yet, biatch!" but what china is doing is a lot like "terms and conditions" they know africa can't afford not to take the deals they offer, and then when africa can't pay it back, they're like, "right, we're taking all your shit, and if you don't like it, read the fine print, biatch!" so, look, this isn't a great situation for africa. and the rest of the world really needs to know what is happening here. although, if there's anything i've learned, it is that people don't really care about africa. people don't care about most issues until it affects them personally or they've seen a movie about it. i mean, killers can get exxonerated because of what

they've seen on netflix. maybe the only way to get people to care about africa is if we turn it into a movie. >> we're here for your airport. hand over the keys. >> we will hand you nothing! >> you will never understand the ways of our land or our airport! >> too bad. now it's china's airport. the runways, the terminals, the soggy tuna sandwiches that we made in 2019-- it's all ours! >> but the terms of this deal are unfair! >> well, then maybe you shouldn't have ay agreed to it. duuh! >> we had no choice. tell him, man! ♪ ♪ ♪ >> stop daydreaming about zendaya! come on, man, china is about to

take control of our airport. focus! >> i'm sorry, i am focused. china, you are taking advantage of africa's polite so you can plunder our resources. when i say china, i'm talking about the chinese government. i'm not talking about chinese people, of course. >> of course, hash tag stop asian hate. what are you going to do about it? this is best deal you're going to get. >> people can only be oppressed so long before those people eventually get tired of oppression and stand up! am i right? ♪ ♪ ♪ stop thinking about zendaya, man! we're about to lose the airport! >> i don't know why i keep doing it. it's not just daydreaming. let me go and try to find this lady. you talk to this china guy. i'll get back to you. >> i hope you get eaten by a big-ass worm. >> wait, this is part one? how long is this movie?

>> trevor: sorry, guys, that would have been better quality if i had a budget but i didn't want to take any money from china. all right, when we come back, we'll get a preview of the season's hottest christmas season's hottest christmas movie.

just pure artistry. >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is french finance minister bruno le maire. he's here to talk about the relationship between france and america and how the country is responding to the challenges from covid all the way through to russia. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: thank you for joining us. especially during this time. i feel like you're one of the best people i can speak to about

one of the country's that's central to the direction europe is going to be taking in the coming years. let's maybe start with the biggest question, the pressing question: great britain has left the european union. angela merkel is stepping down after 16 years, you know, leading the european bloc. france is now seen as one of the key players that has to step into the role of guiding europe in a certain direction. but it feels like with covid, with russia, with the world's economy, there is a lot to do. what is france's plan for moving europe forward? and is it an optimistic outlook? >> very optimistic, and our plan is quite clear: we want a stronger europe. we want a europe that will be more independent, and we want france to play a key role in this building back better of europe. i'm totally against this way of thinking that france would be on the decline. france is absolutely not on decline. france is booming. europe is booming. and our best years are for our

children. >> trevor: it's interesting that you say "france is booming and france is not on the decline," and, yet, there are people in france who may feel the opposite. >> that's right. you're right. >> trevor: i say that because what i learned in america and around the world uthe reality may not match the perception some people have, and the perception can sometimes be more powerful. >> i fully agree, but we want to avoid a kind of trump experience. >> trevor: aring. >> i really think it would not be the best way for france. but we have 30% or 35% of the french population which stands ready to vote for far-right parties. >> trevor: right. >> so we need to understand why. i think that there is a question of identity. there is a question of fear. people are concerned by the covid. people are concerned by the rise of china. people are concerned by their own identity. >> trevor: yeah. >> and we need to respond to those questions while avoiding new divisions in the french society. once again, we don't want to

live what you have lived with the trump experience in the united states. >> trevor: let's talk a little bit about some of those things. you recently had a debate with a far-right conservative in france who, you know, is on a news program that is very far right, and some people would say, gee, it's similar to fox news. he's planning to run in the country and he's stoking those fears and those divisions. i would love to know, if we start with identity-- because that's a key one in france. france has always had this beautiful idea-- forget religion, forget your race, forget everything else-- we are french and we are french together. it seems like there is now starting to be a rift between some who say being with french is only attainable fully if you are white and a franco file, or being french is only fully attainable if you are willing to get rid of all your cultural ideas. and some argue being french only should be reserved for people who are white and of european descent. how do you bring those two

worlds affect without anyone feeling alienated but get to that ideal. >> i think it would be a mistake to think you can only be french if you are white, and if you have heirs of 100, 200, 300 years. i think it would be a mistake. you can be black. you can be white. you can be a muslim, you can be a y jew, you can be catholic. that is not an issue. i have debated with him and he is pretending to rescue the people. he is not rescuing the people. he is dividing the people. he is fue filling the people wih fear and with hate. that's exactly what we want to fight against. you know there is a dream, based on the possibility to be rich and successful.

i like the american dream. but there is also a french dream which is based on freedom, which is based on equality, which is based on-- we are all responsible for the future of the nation. and that's the key point of the french dream. i have the french dream in the roots of my heart. and i will fight against those people which are trying to divide the french society, which are trying to put the people against one each other, because i really think it cannot be the future for france. >> trevor: do you think france could do a better job of giving everybody access to the french dream who is in france? >>. . >> you know, like, we've seen stories of people who have names like dialo got of not getting interviews, or people muslim struggling to integrate into french culture. do you think french could do a better job of that? >> yes, we could do a far better job, and we have to take into account the people who are

trying to do their best to be successful in french society, to have access to the highest position, and they are facing big hurdles. we should get rid of those hurdles, and we should make a place for everybody, which is sticking to the right decisionss and its best efforts to be successful. i think we can do far better on that field. >> trevor: let's talk a little bit about geopolitics. right now, one of the biggest pressing issues in europe is the conversation around roork. i know that president macron recently spoke to the president of russia, vladimir putin, and it seems like all of these discussion, whether it's with putin, whether it's with biden, seem affable on the surface, but on the border of ukraine, there is an army that has gathered and europe seems to be worried about what that might mean. most countries seem to believe any militaristic intervention would be the worst possible outcome. people do not have an appetite for war. however, many people wonder what the european union would do if

russia were to invade ukraine. is there any idea of a plan in place? >> the plan it soon is to be vey clear, if there is any attempt to the ukraine border, then the consequences for russia will be very bad. and, you know, there is one thing that we should really avoid, which is any kind of military action, because military action is never the solution. so we have been very clear, both with president biden and president macron, we will never accept any attempt and any threat against ukraine. >> trevor: do you think financial sanctions will be enough of a threat? >> financial sanctions might be a possibility. but not the only one. >> trevor: another conversation in and around france, very dear to my heart, obviously, coming from the continent, is the conversation between-- around france and its former colonies. for a long time, many africans have felt like france-- and not

alone in this. the same thing with great britain, et cetera-- has done a terrible job in reconciling with its past actions in africa to africans who speak french, who have lived under the french for so long, and who now say we are struggling because of a past of colonialism. what do you think france could be doing better on the continent to try and right some of its wrongs. we know we live in a world where everyone was conquer order. everyone was invaded. i'm not saying it's a blame thing. do you think there's something france could be doing to improve the relationships. >> i think we're doing best on reconciliation. and reconciliation is a key word, of course. reconciliation means understanding the past of all those countries. reconciliation means that you have to be respectful. reconciliation also means providing help to those countries. you were just speaking about covid. covid is a nightmare for everybody. >> trevor: right. >> but if you have all the

western countries being successful in fighting against covid, and you have african countries without the possibility of fighting covid and facing the pandemic, the result will be negative for all of us. so helping the other countries could be also a solution. the last point on that. the economic support that we are giving to african countries is absolutely key. you run the risk of having a new, great dwernlence from an economic point of view, between the european continent and the united states on the one side, and african countries on the other side. >> trevor: right. >> we should definitely fight against that big gap between the two continents. >> trevor: are you doing anything to try and insulate african countries from china and the influence that they're in? >> good question. very good question i think that there is the old type of colonization, and we are trying

to build reconciliation. and there is a new type-- i would not use the word "colonization--" but a type of influence coming from china, and we are explaining to all african countries that we have to build a new partnership based on an equal footing. equal footing is absolutely key. and maybe we could be a little more cautious vis-a-vis china. >> trevor: thank you. >> thank you so much. >> trevor: we're going to take a quick xfinity rewards are our way of thanking you just for being with us. enjoy rewards like sing family fun nights! rent sing for $1, then belt out all your favorite tunes from the movie
