days, news, i quit open a as big as investor is sticking with a company though. tech giant, microsoft said the leadership changes will not affect the relationship. well, ended their up next. our tech to ship looks at how china is capitalizing on the growing world wide appetite for chinese may technology, more news and 45 minutes. the issue, how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much? you might see me, how much can we do simultaneously?
11:16 am
multitasking these, the modern methods. because if we do too much, we had it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary, do you love, take tuck shop on the table? do you own a walk away or tell me phone? well, chinese companies like these have been accused of spying on the customers. nevertheless, the products continue to be popular worldwide, and many governments deployed chinese tech to is tech made inside on no different than tech developed in other countries. especially risks for you as a consumer and for state security china efforts to become established as a big scale tech supply. i can be clearly seen in africa in some countries like
11:17 am
kenya, chinese technology even lies on the ground. and internet superhighway called the piece cable for next pack is done east africa and to europe. it is part of the digital sewage road. china's band expanded digital influenza around the world. for years, china has been making deals with political leaders, especially in the global south to build small cities and install surveillance cameras, sometimes china, even for the bill. so how does this tech 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 nairobi, kenya, use phones made by chinese companies. anthony a while ago uses 2 phones,
11:18 am
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 loni petula researches chinese businesses in africa. this is exactly the market chinese mon makers. i've tried to capture average african probably be able 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. so 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,
11:19 am
phones with to sim cards or cameras that capture a wide range of skin towns have made chinese smartphones popular and canyon 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 make a comment on big screen sites and most the young people are especially up and fighting to go through the chinese drunk 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 the us and then you start facing facing issues with optics of stuff. yeah. and issues of oxygen dues and the fights are not available, but i think it's very affordable. most people prefer to go we,
11:20 am
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 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 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 themselves even more products. it also means china plays
11:21 am
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 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 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 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. like this surveillance center built by chinese telecoms company. well,
11:22 am
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 them to collect themselves as well. i'm coming at us from this message. it would be host and to be 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 we have good continuous planning. why don't we go to hawaii to any of the engineers network? that's a good specialist. while the primary invest bookcase really we're looking,
11:23 am
we just like us. and i realize that it's hired a company. there's a q of what isaac loud, we buy them that we've 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 4 in 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 softly to mitchell really liked the dominance of bonds, trying these companies in intact and africa. so technically, equipment mindsets are like um, well, way like guns, etc. too, i me slow quantitative price and cost effective equipment and put adults and
11:24 am
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 purchased them for more than 100000000 years. the cameras are equipped with software that recognizes spaces and scans license plates. you've gone to the 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.
11:25 am
delegation of cctv. no tracking. it's electrical. this is stiffness, watkins, 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 give this a, from tcc tcc, his undisputable handy. it has reduced to investigated when they come back, look, we have seen a reduction the in the there with the behaves. yeah. they the people are, there was a be so one day roads. we have seen a reduction in a bad rise 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 helped police to monitor the cell phones. have you
11:26 am
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 christians. it is easy to know on truck what 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 the, anything possible while waste save city project is blown 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
11:27 am
repression is not only exported by china, but by western democracies too. so what's the difference? because 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 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 a, you know, that with, in some ways,
11:28 am
enable surveillance or aspiring or both. so, but it's not nearly the global self law just concern. like i think a lot of double stuff. countries are a lot more worried about just getting digital access in the 1st space and putting forth 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 i'm so sorry to bother you. and i changed my mind because somebody so that was
11:29 am
very dangerous. today he is a successful director send a message. johnny takes him from legals to turn the oscar. why do so many risk everything for the european dream. next on d w, i just got any issues with a lot say what the interest, the global economy, our portfolio dw business be on. here's
11:30 am
a closer look out the project. our mission. to analyze the flight for market dominance. this is where the heck with w business be on the . busy
