the select some of the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime would probably be secure, subscribed to those channels. we've got every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a do you love? take talk shop on the table. do you own a wall way or tell me phone? well, chinese companies like these. i've been accused of spying on the customers. never the less that 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. 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 co next packaged on east africa and to europe. it is part of the digital so growth 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 puts the bill. so how does this tech benefit citizens be on the c? p is cable brings past the mobile internet to can yeah, for example, when most people use cell phones to get online anyway. but where do these cellphones come from? i'm using, i mean, i'll put in a to with samsung asap. i use samsung on. i'm using a techno pop 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 lani petula researches chinese businesses in africa. this is exactly the market. chinese phone makers have tried to capture average african probably 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 said zane, another network provider. and because of, um, lets 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. a lot of washington's are looking for. i mean, if it's the needs of african american 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 kenya anthony can hang up, who manages of phone repair center. i've seen the market change over time, the nokia was the 1st to come in the country. and then you meet with the people to chinese funds, which gave me the touch screen. can we make a comment on big screen sites and most of the young people, especially after the fighting to go through the tiny strand because of the price, the 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 the changes in 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,

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 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 tiny 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 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, 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

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, let the, the quit. we needed a place value with a computer type computer environment 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 raise security concerns about working with well way. but on the low 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 engineers network executed a specialist while the primary invest bookcase really? we're looking, we just like us. so then i realize that it's a company that's

a queue 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 a 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, chinese financing, so play to mitchell really liked the dominance of them. time these companies in intact and africa. so technical ins if equipment mindsets are like um, well, way like um betsy to i me slow, but quantitative price and cost effective equipment and put adults and 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 benefits 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. you've gone to 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 of cctv no tracking. it's like true. the system is working and it's

really, it's a 4222 fighting crane. 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 handy, it has reduced investigated when they come back, look, we have seen a reduction in the there with the behaves. yeah, they, 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 morris by see 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

gone to an opposition candidate, bobby wine. in 2021 wine. last against you. wearing the 70, you count 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 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 anything possible why waste save city project is blown with 52 countries participating. according to washington, d. c. based the 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. 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 tines. so what about us? the private uses, 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, 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 with, in some ways, enable surveillance or aspiring level 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 and the 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 a. fedex mismanagement,

no jobs are few prospect televisions. the few, the protest. agents send us time. why? the minds types to be match with such brutality. and sonya is come in and i just make it a moment. because take this as has died in the beginning, the 7 percent in 30 minutes on the w. this is modern days, slavery women from less than america watching as amazed and most makes hours of the day, no labor, right. i'm only paying one things to financially support this time and these back how they end up losing them in the process. a life in europe comes as a high price global in 90 minutes. dw, the
