发帖数: 1214 | 3 It was quite eye-open documentory, and it was a very interesting experience
to have a conversation with some Africans in Yale. The movie promotes racial
conflicts and hatreds between the Africans and Chinese in thirty some
minutes.
I may grow up in the era that our media propaganda dipicted African people
were our comerades and brothers. We morally supported their independence
back then. Now we materially support their growth. I always thought that
Chinese and Africans were friends, at least.
However, not only in the movie, but also among those elites studying in Yale
, African people have tremendous fear and dislike toward Chinese people.
Surely they complain about competitions of local business opportunities
between the two racial groups, for example, there are four shops owned by
Chinese and only two owned by Africans. Not suprisingly the Chinese shops
sell for less and have more customers. They complain about lack of job
opportunities for locals in Chinese investments in infrastructure
development projects. The Chinese companies prefer to fly the Chinese
construction workers to Afica to complete the jobs rather than hiring more
local people. Of course the cost and productivity issues are not mentioned.
They complain about Chinese males who work in Africa do not marry enough
African females. This time in the movie, the African male of the rarely
interracially marriaged couple, says that the Chinese wife is more faithful.
It is common that some movie directors cherry-pick stories to prove and
promote his own agenda. I rarely have watched any movies that promote racial
hatreds in US. This is one.
My personal feeling is that there are opportunities in Africa, but I
probably will not risk my life to go there, because I could well be one of
the victims between the racial conflicts, like the conflicts in Rwanda and
Indonesia. | P****9

当然，很多人一提起中国来，第一个词就是：“Mao”。他们也说爱中国人，但真到抢
得时候，他们才不管对方是谁。
当然也碰到过比较杰出的当地人，但很少很少...

发帖数: 141625 | 5 天哪怎么会是这样。可惜我没去看，storm以后尽窝在家了。赞你！以前在火车上遇到
过去非洲（南非）赚钱的中国人，听说开始的时候容易赚，那时的非洲货币也值钱。后
来货币跌价，就不那么容易赚了。又听说去那里的中国人不少。电影里的这些抱怨听上
去是有偏见，抱怨中国男人不多找非洲女人挺匪夷所思的，猜想找多了也有意见……

发帖数: 141625 | 6 nice，你去过的地方多。leisuretime版有人在连载埃及游记，很详细，照片很灿烂。
我在国内少数民族地区也听到过类似埋怨，一个常去新疆出差的亲戚也说维族哈族人不
如汉族人勤奋。少数民族之间也有差别，今年夏天去云南，当地人说住山脚的纳西族最
勤奋，开垦农田耕地。住山腰的某个族偷懒，不爱种田，光砍树，砍完就换个地方住，
哈哈。当然说的人是个纳西族！

发帖数: 166 | 7 If you watch Youtube videos regarding China-Africa relationship and the
comments below the video, you may find quite a lot of African people support
China.
For example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjOwIMwhSFA
Movie makers are more likely to be "elite" people, so understably they do
worry about the competition from Chinese elite.
But laobaixing in Africa enjoy the good things from China.
