Comments on: China’s trade with Africa is not helping the continent in value addition, not even South Africa exports manufactured goods https://www.lusakatimes.com/2020/08/06/chinas-trade-with-africa-is-not-helping-the-continent-in-value-addition-not-even-south-africa-exports-manufactured-goods/ Keeping you Informed Fri, 07 Aug 2020 06:08:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Chiza Chirwa https://www.lusakatimes.com/2020/08/06/chinas-trade-with-africa-is-not-helping-the-continent-in-value-addition-not-even-south-africa-exports-manufactured-goods/#comment-2961631 Fri, 07 Aug 2020 06:08:02 +0000 https://www.lusakatimes.com/?p=290885#comment-2961631 I don’t know why people are seeing PF or UPND in this very informative article.
The authors have clearly done a great job explaining the status quo, and have argued that if we want real tangible change in our continent, the American model is better. Allowing manufacturing in the country adds value to what we export and creates jobs.

Are you saying the status quo is okay because it’s not a Muzungu it is another race exploiting Zambia. I thought we should stand not to be exploited by anyone. Not arabs, not jews, not Chinese. Shocking is an understatement to find a normal person content with his country being exploited.

This type of analysis for sure is beyond the comprehension of a PF carder. China itself cleverly insisted on technology transfer when it opened up its markets to the west. The west looked at the profits they would make and for sure made run away profits. The real benefit for China is there for everyone to see now. It was long term technology transfer not money which quickly evaporates. Our corrupt leaders in PF have hijacked our lives. HH would have taken Zambia to respectable levels by now. The PF years have been wasted years indeed. To imagine that they still want to continue in their mischief is beyond a normal person. I pit Zambia. Change will not come on silver platter because the devil is viciously using PF to turn Zambia into a failed state. Good…

Best example is your new Airport in Lusaka.

What have you authors done to help mother Zambia instead of just fault finding?

These western funded analysts are in the same bracket as upnd and diasporan clowns

The social and tax benefits of that employment far outweighs any short term benefits of importing those goods cheaper than producing them locally
