African countries are foregoing Western investment because of the number of strings attached

What strings?

here’s a (very) competitive interest rate

IMF loans are cheaper. Every person with two braincells will realize corrupt officials will take the chinese loans with higher interest rates because of the bribes. A 90 year maintenance contract is nonsense and you cant defend it.

F35 is the plane that fell into the sea. Russia and china both developed hypersonic missiles while the usa MIC has none. They don’t need to copy when their stuff works better.

This man comparing rockets with airplanes. Completely nuts.

Im scared for the countries getting caught in Chinas debt trap. With maintenance contracts being forced (for more than 90 years!), billions in outstanding loans in each country there is no way to climb out the hole. Everyone can see these extravaganza projects are not what Africa needs, but what China wants.

The actual value of 5G is in facilitating autonomous robotics and industrial automation as opposed to stuff like mobile phones. It’s high bandwidth and low latency which allows

But the article is about phones?

Maybe if your country didn’t ban Huawei, the creators of 5G you wouldn’t think it’s an inferior product

What does a ban on a company has to do with 5G towers? Other companies cant make 5G towers?

Anyone here thinks 5G is overhyped? 4G in my country has the same speed as 5G in China. Seems dumb to upgrade to an inferior product.

Most people here dont even care about 5G when they reach 150mbps on 4G.
