The deepening crisis in capitalism and imperialism and how it is reflected in Africa is an important focus of political economist Patrick Bond who is a professor at the University of Johnanessburg. Bond talks about the early investment in China and how that has transformed as China has become the biggest exporter of capital and the largest industrial country in the world.
He looks at the development of BRICS and the Belt and Road and how the BRICS is now part and parcel of the world capitalist economic structure despite claims that is an alternative to the imperialist economic structure.
He reports on the experiences of countries in Africa with Chinese investments and how that has affected workers, communities and the environment and climate.
He also discusses how many of the countries of BRICS and China are helping to prop up the apartheid Zionist regime and their genocidal policies.
