the. darkest hours into. the renaissance. starts people twenty second. w. w news africa coming out in the next fifteen minutes bringing investment about still going resentment the growing numbers of chinese in zambia look at the influence on business and politics also coming out. of. my country. where a lot of people in america and some of the you couldn't. make. a young media interest in there who's determined to prove that building

a future in your own home country is best. i'm eddie michael jr thanks for joining us we begin with the story of. mining town of kit with nothing unusual about that there's was a chinese own stall in the looting of the growing chinese sentiments are crosses china's financial influence is growing on the african continent china is biggest foreign investor and chinese companies are buying up significant chunks of key government assets now while beijing is rapidly increasing there's been some level of economic growth in zambia but china's presence is also triggering resentment. against. giallo on one final report. memories

of a recent book larry. the chinese business woman based in the copper mining capital . shortly after yan had set up this store riots broke out in key to i guess the chinese. they told me to run you see this door. this kind of doors hard to look. the more nervous i got the harder it became to lock the door and then they broke my window and. all. the looting in the store this is a reflection of growing china sentiment in zambia every funding for any project would be to roll just hospitals schools houses they bring their money they develop that but i think they also smarter as they do those threats or the development i think they're addressing their population problem we have always for most probably

they're not going back accusations that china is actively redistributing its population in zambia are rife and much of feed is spread by politicians i think i would not be surprised that in the next seven years we'll have a chinese governing document we have taken away the business that local people are doing so i wouldn't be surprised if we are not very careful if we are to continue with this government. in the next three four years we'll have chinese ministers chinese state controlled queues of women almost every government contract funded not going to. one of these deals was the two hundred and seventy three million digital migration project transformation from analog to digital broadcasting. the process was carried out by top stop a joint venture between the chinese media conglomerates times and some best national broadcasters and n.b.c. . a controversial part of the deal is how star times bypassed local laws to make

top star a competitor in a business it already controls short other points in this culture. that say stuff. cannot be in charge of policing content and sometimes. appreciation i think. we should be. machine. with a smaller group to. be judged and should. be judged to feel too much pressure to be pretentious but top star became both a contents of his provider and a signal distributor and the deal was approved without the board we thought parliament shy are not. good investors neither do they mean well for africa most people to me are not invested. just as

accusations that the chinese are benefiting way more than zambians has led to several attacks on chinese shops so far two major riots have broken out and the police have recorded dozens of little fight in him it's just one of the victims of the growing resentment against china's aggressive expansion in zambia. joining me now is my colleague. who was on the ground in zambia working on different reports hello thanks for joining us now from the reports it seems many zambians on happy with the chinese in that country is that a reality on the ground. pretty much this is a rhetoric that's being pushed by politicians who argue that you have a huge influx of so-called chinese investors who come into the country and eventually into small scale jobs some of them do come on major projects major investment projects then of this project they do stay in the country and into the

private sector so you actually see chinese making shoes on this on the roadside or selling corn as one of the. someone put it in the pool so there is this anger that the chinese are thinking nobody i jumps and. also people who do believe doses i'm going to do i give the presence of the child of china india and they're contributing investment opportunities for them so clearly it's not an all negative situation but what is really causing this growing chinese sentiment in that country. terms of factors response will for it a lot of it has to do with rivalry we thin small small communities especially where you have a huge presence of the chinese in the mind in the man in food that's in it in the copper bed area you do have. all this frack up between chinese

residents mostly people day is that me and say they believe that these chinese are respects they don't have the respectable laws and so they they blame them for a lot of things that they will want them to pay them less and they they use also the motherly invective language is on them and so that leads to also some issues but time the main thing is that the argument that you have huge amounts of a huge influx of chinese in the country and venture into the private sector now we talk about this blame game here is it easy to point a finger as to who is to be blamed as the chinese always it that governments that actually strike these deals but it's i mean it's definitely you can put the blame on the two sides will say ok let's not put the blame on those who are coming in imagine us as a local politician you meet someone in the hotel room and they both of these displaying hundreds of thousands of dollars for you in the bed and say or you need

to do is just signed this contract and then we get this contract you get this money so people do take it so and there is this accusation that from from our investigations we understood that the chinese believe that i have on corruption and when this is when the system is corrupt and is to benefit from it and so see those just in zambia but across africa in most cases when this is them that are extremely corrupt that's where you see the chinese have a higher. if it is i will walk out giallo date of your colleague thank you very much for the time. now the ground is the smallest country on mainland africa nation is barely more than two million and yet its youth unemployment problem is pushing many of its young people to leave in the hope of better which it is a broad twenty five year old cycle by as one young guy who's chosen to stay and he's encouraging other gambians to do the same. reports now.

it's known for its beautiful coastline and the sex tourism that it attracts but for some young man prostitution is the only opportunity they have to make any kind of living one in two people live in poverty here young people dream of a better future. i thought about leaving gambia but i don't have any money if i had the money i would go. youth unemployment is high roughly forty percent in the past people mainly wanted to leave the gambia because of its former president rules and suppression until twenty seventy now there is a new government in place a new freedoms. and that is what keeps pushing young people away. is different he has no intention of leaving two years ago at the age of twenty three he launched an online newspaper called the stone circle

its aim to give the youth of voice the morning everyone it's coming to be. a very tedious read because. a lot of stories are doing morning conference the team of five for free they all juggle second jobs they want to make sure the paper can keep going they focus mainly on unemployment and irregular migration an estimated three and a half thousand migrants have returned to the gambia in. he said he yes and psycho is interviewing one of them today. so this is your home for my. stuff returned last year the twenty six year old says he endured beatings for months in a prison in libya but missa do for my games.

and. it's not like. you know until. after his return to set up an association to advise other migrants about the benefits of staying at home sekou is all too familiar with the stories he stalled and writes about all his brothers who left the country but only to return to one who never made it back to life from libya who tells me why did you stay. i'm a believer that. my country and. a lot of people in america really couldn't agree to make my way over my country he's proud that mood is seventy five thousand people read his website per month when does he think it would be true success when we were to reach out to every young person in the country and we were able to. remove them and produce a walking corps and really able to influence the government and what is more sekou

says he intends to keep pushing young people in his country to stay while also holding the government accountable for helping the next generation. some good motivation that that's it for now from d.w. news africa you can catch all our stories on our web site on the facebook page we leave you now with visuals of the guardian american wrestler kofi kinston who is the new world wrestling champion but it's his first ever welsh something. and over a decade is the fast african born well champion in the w w e history son fox he and i are well born in kumasi got off and we are both cold feet see you next time bye for now.
