NOTE: Due to the lengthy upload rat (133+ minutes), parts 3 and 4 will have to be uploaded on Feb 14, 2011. Sorry for any inconvenience.Travelling across three continents, Justin Rowlatt investigates the spread of Chinese influence around the planet and asks what the world will be like if China overtakes America as the world’s economic superpower. In the first of two films, he embarks on a journey across Southern Africa to chart the extraordinary phenomenon of Chinese migration to Africa, and the huge influence of China on the development of the continent. While many in the West view Africa as a land of poverty, to the Chinese it is seen as an almost limitless business opportunity. From Angola to Tanzania, Justin meets the fearless Chinese entrepreneurs who have travelled thousands of miles to set up businesses.

@Tomasito261 Really? really? You are being serious. Comparing to what white people call the Asians, Chinese are being exceptionally nice by calling them white devils. I don’t know what race you are, supposedly Caucasian, have you been called in a demeaning way by an Asian? And ask how they feel vice versa. And I know China’s media is biased, but that’s not the media’s problem, but the government. But do tell me which gov does do self- promoting job?Learn, think and think again before you talk.
YELLOW POWA!!!
All and every sign points towards that they pissed on the bread in the beginning.watch that part again while keeping that in mind this time and try and tell me thats not whats happening.
@koreacheju1985 ‘White devils’? Wow, you’re probably one of the most racist Chinese people I’ve met. I’d like to see you say this to a white person’s face, not just over the internet. Anyway, the BBC’s job is to give both sides to a story. This is how British media works, unlike in China where your state media constantly pumps out pro-government propaganda. In this documentary he’s saying the business relationship between China and Africa is positive, but there are also downsides.
This bloody white shit wants to provoke the negative attitude to China only . Loser British! Loser BBC shit.! Act like ‘Mr Charles’ to save the Africans, help ur Queen save the ‘Sun-Never-sets empire’ first before you putting on airs. BBC really plays low.
@koreacheju1985 Learn some manners
Who’s racist koreacheju? You should learn some manners. There are racist people of all colors: White, black, brown, yellow, etc.. And you are one of them. Dogs that bark typically don’t have a strong bite. I have several Chinese friends who are students here in the US. They would be dissapointed with your actions/words.
In my country we all like Chinese, when the come, they don’t think the are big, or greater than u, onlike white mother fuckers. We love them there is nothing you can do.
The British have to be servants of the devil! THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE DIVIDER OF CIVILIZATIONS!
I fricking hate how they always instigate everything. Neo-conservative white americans/britains need to stay out of African/Chinese relations.

@stilettoprincess What the fuck are you talking about?, all hes doing is demonstrating a rather interesting shift in African Society and the world as a whole. Its not like his diminishing Chinese interests… anyways why am i talking to a dumbass
Agreed and as they lower taxes ( if legistaltion passes only 12 percent of the chinese working people will be subjected to taxes. Yup, 12%. And cut regulations to the bone the economy grows and the currency gets stronger.
The opposite is happing in the US and the Chinese don’t tax their citizens living abroad while the US DOES.
he’s so fucking patronizing omg
while the US and NATO are pissing their money away chasing ghosts and bombing villages, the Chinese are working hard to secure their future. The US has deliberately been betrayed to self-destruct. Traitor politicians!
Good for the Chinese.
Africa gives everybody their shit] they should kick everybody out until they’re treated fairly!!!] I believe that’s why Obama was Selected president 4 the recolonization of Africa’s rich resources] making other countries rich & they’re living dirt dirt poor 4 the richest country on the planet!= senseless!] being raped 4 centuries when r we going 2 learn?] I heard of being generous but this is plain dumb!
@virtuous8 Not all enlish men and woman are like that!
“So have you tried African food?” HAVE YOU TRIED BRITISH FOOD? FUCKING GROSS
He went to africa to study china??? WTF
@Cynthiawu14 Well in what you’re saying you don’t know much about our culture. 100 years back I couldn’t rob anything, I wasn’t even born.
I’m not Jealous. One thing I know. When Philips(Netherlands) made his own radios they work for at least 50 years. Nowadays, since they have factories in China, the chinese crap barely last for 10 years… The EU and the USA should immediately tax the import of Chinese products. With that money we can invest in own quality. . 
@r8448 You r just talking about groundless nonsense without even giving an example of why china is colonizing Africa. Do u know anything about China? Did u ever bother to respect and to learn about other cultures like the Chinese are doing? You are saying those nonsense ONLY because you are JEALOUS and AFRAID that China might get stronger than your country in the end, asking for whatever you bastard has robbed from China 100 years ago. But Chinese people would never want ur crap. What a coward.
@asst9999 lol fuk europe…go tell the queen come suck on my big cock!! coach and die..old bitch colonising english bitch..
@Microglia1 You racist bastard!
@koreacheju1985 What Chinese do IS colonization! They try to believe the entire world that it is fair trade. It’s not. Maybe we should close the borders for Chinese goods, that are from dubious quality anyway, and make it our selfs. Like in the good old days.
GOD save the Queen!! GOD save white EU
why cant we do this in america

@PeggyTeachesChinese
i don’t get it , this is language learining site. Unaccented Pinyin, “pinglish” has no use in learning the language. Even Hanyu Pinyin was not meant to be used to construct sentences. If one is so inspired, it is easy to configure your keyboard to type Hanyu Pinyin using the insert option and memorizing the key combination. or, why not type “hanzi”. Pinyin is not a language.
@BuayaGuy That are right. Standard one should be “謝謝 xie4xie5″ Thank you for pointing it out.
Hello Peggy, I really enjoy your videos. If people want lessons in a ‘graduated’ format, that is, building upon previous lessons from easy to advanced, you may want to refer them to a full-length course. This way your lessons are conversational instruction, useful to everyone. There are several locations for these on the internet, though the Foreign Service courses are a little dated. You have a great site and excellent presentation. God bless!

In “bù haǒ yì sī” , the tone of the fourth character is not “sì”, and it usually has no tone or empty tone by stressing the third character tone, which can be labled as “si” .By listening to your negligeable accent carefully, I guess you are from southern china .
Thanks for your tutorial.
@PeggyTeachesChinese 你好 Peggy, actually I had a question about 謝謝 – when I was first learning about it a long time ago (10+ years), I read that it generally went: xie4 xie0 (like a soft tone). Are you supposed to use 4th tone for both words?
謝謝!
@PeggyTeachesChinese i hate when people say standard. dont let rude people get you down. peggy you are a great teacher! i looked at that persons profile. it shows their recent comments. everything they say is hatefull. so it seems this person has no life haha. peggy you are a great teacher, dont listen to those rude people. keep doing what you do best, and thats making great mandarin videos
