the ground was lost, the pace so involved some of his critics raised concerns about the $78.00. you know, because have on this night is supported in monrovia optimistic about their consist feature, and you're up to date more on the d, w dot com. jared rate in berlin have a great day. the imagine that you're eating a hamburger and as you're biting into this juicy burner, your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from the house. it's made from golden retrievers. 2 should we. 2 2 2 2 2 2 in the meeting cultures around the world,

people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible, all the rest they classify as disgusting, w series about a complex relationship with animals. the great debate, what's, you know, on youtube, dw documentary, the do you love take talk, shop on table? do you own a while way or tell me phone? well, chinese companies like these have been accused of spying on the customers. never the less the products continue to be popular worldwide. and many governments deployed chinese tech to is tech made inside and no different than tech develop in other countries. especially risks for you as a consumer and for state security, china's assets to become established as a big scale tech supply. a can be clearly seen in africa in some countries like

kenya, chinese technology even lies on the ground. and internet superhighway called the piece cable for next packaged on east africa and to europe. it is part of the digital sewage road, china's band to expand its digital intro runs around the world. for years, china has been making deals with political leaders, especially in the global south to build smart cities and installs surveillance cameras. sometimes china even puts the bill. so how does this tech benefit citizens? the on the c p is cable, brings past the mobile 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 need to with samsung 8 that i use samsung on. i'm using a techno of 3 more than 60 percent of the people we spoke to, and i robi kenya, use phones made by chinese companies. anthony a while ago uses 2 phones,

one for mobile money transfers and $1.00 for internet. this one is samsung galaxy at 10 s, and this one is a 10, according to multiple lunney pelt color researches chinese businesses in africa. this is exactly the market chinese mon makers. i've tried to capture average applicant, but the hope was to cellphones and those 2 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 them, let's say connectivity issues on a particular day, the network might be down on the same thing, but then he will walk on an empty answer. so in that sense, it just fits the price point a lot of washington's i looking for. i mean, it fits the needs of african african consumers, maybe muscles and you're more expensive product. like i said, for example,

phones with to sim cards or cameras that capture a wide range of skin towns have made chinese smartphones popular and canyon. anthony can hang, who manages of phone repair center. i've seen the market change over time, the know killing the 1st time in the country, and then you meet with the people to the chinese funds, which gave me the touch screen. can we better comment on big screen sites? and most the young people, especially, are pretty fighting to go through the tiny strand because of price value. 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 the changes in the fights are not 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, 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 in africa 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 to on the, on the logic kind of like, you know, player in, in, in the world. so it's looking to, to make the rest of the world frame near 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 them sell even more products. it also means china plays

a powerful role in shaping the future of technology. the international institute for us to teach a study says china has been participating in digital infrastructure projects in the 137 countries. it's investing billions of urals. 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 tech novelist, and it's been 10 years in the making. when cons that is done, it's supposed to look like this. uh, high tech always is 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 telecom company. well way it's connected to

a network of cameras. the data from the camera travels through underground internet cables to a data center, also built in part by wall way. the internet, the cameras and data storage are all connected, says lucas overload, who manages tons of data center. we realize that in addition to connectivity letter to the quit, we needed a place value with the computer type, compute, and betterment where all these different let me collect some sense as well. i'm coming at us from this message to be host and analyzed. some have res security concerns about working with well way, but also believes the team is prepared. if you focus on the vendor, then you missed the point. so really good, continuous training. why don't we go to a light that a of the s network executed a specialist, while the primary instruct bookcase really?

we're looking, we have and i'd just like us to and i realize that it's a company that's a q a for as a cloud we partner with microsoft for example being some of the sort of shows that, that, that might look at the us company. so we don't limit this to where 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 foreign servers to its own. while way bill 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 michel really liked the dominance of bonds, trying these companies in intact and africa. so technical and equipment manufacturers like um, well, way like guns, etc too. i me slow um, quantitative price and cost effective equipment and put option solutions. so it's

played a really huge impact for some countries, china is also is attractive, better digital infrastructure at 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 this. police force denies

that additional. cctv no tracking, it's like true. the system is working and it's really supportive to, to, to fight, to increase the surveillance cameras had been in use since 2018. they footages the evidence, which is driving from this issue to this from this issue to resisting his undisputable and the task that reduced to drastically when they come back, look, we have seen a reduction in the there with the behaves. yeah. they've, they've, before there was a be, so one day road. we have seen a reduction in a bad rise and so forth in the, in the a bunch sitting simply because of kind of service. people are now 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 if you've 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 said 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 directions. it is easy to know on truck what addition chinese companies may be supplying the technology. but you can't, as government is deploying it, that for you to pay to stay in bullets. so the anything possible why waste save city project is global 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, but by western democracies too. so what's the difference reports like this might be the answer. allegedly computers in the african union headquarters in ethiopia, 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 tines. 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 the time these companies not in a position to refuse handing over the data to the chinese government, does 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 with, in some ways,

enable surveillance or aspiring or both. so, but it's not nearly the global self law just concern. like i think a lot of the stuff countries are lot more worried about just getting digital access and the 1st place 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, that in 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
