China vs. Japan: The $40 Billion Battle Over Algeria’s Highway.

What started as a routine construction deal quickly evolved into a geopolitical showdown, reshaping Africa’s economic future and shifting the balance of global influence.
This is the story of how China stepped in, tackled major challenges, and left a lasting impact on the continent.

Western countries just want to steal the resources of other countries.
Socialism is stronger than private capital.
FACES PERIODIC UNRESTS = TRANSLATES INTO = WHENEVER THE WEST DOES NOT LIKE THE GOVERNMENT … REBELS AND TERRORISTS APPEARS TO THROW COUP PARTIES
What happens to the section contracted by the Japanese, now that they have left?
"Democracy" does not feed, good connectivity does.
So what happened to the great technological prowess of Japan that you keep stating? So what you are saying is that Chinese companies did well only because of state backing, while Japanese companies failed not because of their technological capabilities.
This is a propaganda video to try to explain a screw up by Japanese companies.
These infrastructure projects always bring foreign funds, management, and technology, with use of local labour and local management. So your video is biased in a subtle and sneaky way.
Bringing out the debt trap narrative as well. LOL. This narrative has been and is being debunked.
