the entire debt Africa is owing chine is not up to what US alone is owing China but some how china is colonising Africa not US

The entire FDI of china to africa is Not up to the Donations America have made to africa

show us capital flight of china from Africa to juxatapose your " narrative"

Across all IDP camps in africa you will find America support, no china presence,

Incase you forgot Covid 19 spread from china, what was china support or assistance to the world then instead it was America that largely donated across the world, check America donation to Nig n please tell us china as donated more

When we speak of illegal mining china dominates and they are main culprit in Nigeria, the question here is can you separate illegal mining from colonialism syndrome

China using Africa country to develop theirs with loan..... Them go borrow u with useless condition con drill ur resources join....by the time dey finish with Africa countries na only skeleton go remains.....

Is it really investments or loans?

China’s Africa re-colonisation process and strategy - debts and investments managed by Chinese.

Soon China towns will emerge in all of these countries!

China never colonized any African territory in the past, so it cant be called recolonization process, that can only be said of the West. All these investments are economic partnerships if you are pleased with the terms. China wont meddle with your national sovereignty in order to exploit your resources. That's why Taiwan issue pains them, Taiwan is Chinese territory but some countries twist history in order to serve their national interests,. Do unto others, what you want them do to you, a saying from Confucius, his philosophy is the guiding thought and compass of Chinese society. China has never being a colonial power and it will never be. They resisted colonialism with their resilience and they came out stronger as a nation.

Leonardo4:
Did the US stop ur country from using the grant to develop ur urself? Bunch of corrupt individuals

They have used all the grant to develop personal bank accounts and properties in choice locations across Nigeria. Even at non-governmental level we know of many with real and fake PhDs and other qualifications who have pocketed US grants and forming self-made multi-millionaires with scam projects.

ElSudani:
Too many words to explain nonsense. US is owing China around 750 billion dollars. According to your own post 780 billion dollars!
That is humongous.
Western nations are far more predatory than the Chinese who are at least providing needed infrastructure all over Africa.

In treasures not loans, try to understand the difference.

China has $180m investment in Nigeria according to the report, while US has given $919m in aid to Nigeria this year alone. Grants are different from loans, try to know the difference.
Bill Gate alone has spent on $14bn in Nigeria in the last decade alone.

runningriot:
... Failed calculus aimed with a fire brigade approach. Your marketing and PR skills has been punctured with a lot of incentive and illogical braces. It is laced with hate and masked with sentiments how can your so called almighty China won't be good when they give you loans and still send their expertise and company to execute the project? We see how the flippantly pay our energetic Africans with peanuts after milking them dry under the scorching sun this is how they are called redeemers! Free your soul from hate and pains and receive peace! grant your mind with redemption of truth so as you will see joy if not you will continue to dish out fallacies and unmasked yourself with embarrassing statements that your reasoning will be question to be on default.

If the West you are campaigning for are that good, those projects would have been done long ago. You have been with the West for over 500 years, what are the gains? How many projects were done here altruistically? China gives loans and does the projects? And so? Britain should have done those projects long ago nefore the Chinese ventured in. France is looting the whole French west Africa as we speak. China has built airports, railways, train stations, power stations, endless highways, name them. Where are the projects done by the British and the French!? Name them here. I am waiting..
How many African leaders have been assassinated by the West? Name one African leader killed by the Chinese government...
I am waiting..

As a country, Nigeria owes China the most as a single lender, but overall, our debt owed to the Chinese is less than ten percent of our entire debt obligations.

Also, it's a lie to say China is trapping African countries with excessive loans.

Yes, corona virus originated from China, but the West actually kicked against sharing the intellectual property behind their vaccines until pressured stepped up and India was capable of producing vaccines. China later shared its vaccines to interested African countries.

In Nigeria, more jobs and investments have been created and made by Chinese owned investors compared to Western owned. States like Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarawa, Ogun, Ondo etc., would have been worse if not for Chinese investments.

That is Chinese investment not free gift. But U.S.A. aids/free gifts alone are even far more than Chinese business investment!!!

All of you that are perennially anti China on this forum are either on a project commissioned by some powerful imperialist powers, or totally out of depth on how useful the Chinese can be for the development of Africa. This relentless negative propaganda onslaught against the Chinese is alarming...

No other super power is determined to share knowledge, technology, finance, technical knowhow and training like the Chinese. They're genuinely interested in improving the living standards here. But some of us prefer "grants" and "aids" from those who have been looting Africa for eons..

China will be to Africa what Africa wants her to be to her. If you want her to be an imperialist, she might end up as one. If you want her to be a spectator, she might end up like that too. But if African countries are able to calibrate serious diplomatic engagements with the Chinese that will lead to a cross-fertilisation of ideas, technology and knowledge, heavens will be the limit...

And some how you have worked for a Chinese company.

China that is not at peace with any of it's neighbors.

Agreed. I forgot to mention my preference for protecting IP as a motivator for further discoveries. But it is the West that has always played the "we are moral" card. No one expects morality or lovey-dovey from China, Russia or even India. Those ones say it as it is. So, when the lovey-dovey West decides to behave otherwise, it raises eyebrows. Is there anything wrong with strictly eyeing profits? No, but don't be hypocritical about it. One major reason many Africans like the Chinese is their straightforwardness. You already know what they want, and they are not interested in how you run your country or culture. Not a loan today, then ask the country to enshrine LGTV.

Its true chinese are largest investors in Nig, Buh its transactional as a matter of fact the chinese aint helping our economic cos of automated capital flight there profit dont stay here

Why should it not be transactional? Don't they pay taxes? Employ people? Why should a business not be transactional? Nigerians who are now flooding China, do they go there for charitable purposes? Why should it be different from the Chinese?

Of course, profits should be repatriated to the origin or wherever the owners deem fit. Why should Chinese profits remain in Nigeria? Are Chinese Nigerians? There are Nigerians working in different parts of the country, and when they make the money they desire or as they make it, they send the bulk or everything to their ethnic region via building houses, opening newer branches, etc. Why should it be different from the Chinese?

A major reason many Western companies closed shop in Nigeria was because of the exchange loss when profits were repatriated to their HQTRs. Why should the Chinese be different? Storing capital in Nigeria is the business of Nigerian entrepreneurs. Something Dangote does or whether he has fully moved his capital base to Dubai in the name of Family Office.

The pooriest working condition is from the chinese, poor renumerations and poor welfare packages for Nigerians employed, chinese are not doing us a " valid" favor cos they expliot us more

The "working conditions" are poor, but that is how working conditions are across Asian countries, especially at the nascent stages of industrialisation. The Chinese toiled and toiled to be where they are today. This exploitation talk does not follow because there are clear choices: work or don't work for the Chinese. Poor remuneration isn't a Chinese thing. It is an overpopulation thing. Salaries are low in Indonesia, India and Vietnam. Good enough, they pay on time because we have more Nigerian entrepreneurs who owe or short-change their staff. No be Nigerian HRs dey ginger foreigners not to pay standard wages and provide full benefits to their fellow Nigerian workers?

Like i said, as you posted china FDi in Nigeria, please post china Capital flight then let's compare with America's donation/grants to Nig.

Again, capital flight does not follow. Abuja is not Beijing. Foreigners have no obligation whatsoever to store their profits in Nigeria. On top which currency sef? As for donations, aids do more harm than good. No country developed on the basis of aids. They did via FDI. I have read how Malaysia is attracting both Western and Chinese capital into its rare earth sector. Indonesia did the same with bauxite and copper. Zimbabwe and Guinea-Conakry are doing the same.

Dambisa Moyo, in her book Dead Aid, wrote about it. She has degrees from elite institutions in the West and has been a fervent defender of the West, its policies and values, but had a re-thought.

Read below for your detailed enlightenment:

How Much Does China Owe the US?
China’s direct sovereign debt owed to the US (i.e., US holdings of Chinese government bonds or debt securities) is relatively small and not a major component of bilateral financial ties. Based on the most recent available data, US holdings of Chinese bonds on a nationality basis were approximately $27 billion as of 2022. This figure likely remains similar in 2025, as there has been no significant reported increase in US purchases of Chinese government debt amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and diversification efforts by US investors. Note that this excludes US holdings of Chinese corporate or local government bonds, which are larger (total US holdings of all Chinese debt and equity securities were around $240 billion in earlier years but have grown modestly). Overall, China’s central government debt is low (about 20-25% of GDP), and foreign ownership is limited due to capital controls and market access restrictions.
How Much Does the US Owe China?
The US “owes” China primarily through China’s holdings of US Treasury securities, which finance part of the US federal deficit. As of July 2025 (the latest monthly data from the US Treasury), China held $730.7 billion in US Treasuries. This marks a decline from earlier in the year (e.g., $756.4 billion in June 2025 and $784.3 billion in February 2025), continuing a multi-year trend of China reducing its exposure to US debt for diversification reasons, such as increasing gold reserves and investing in other assets. China remains the second-largest foreign holder after Japan, but its share of total foreign-held US debt has fallen to about 9-10%.
Comparison and Contrast with Africa’s Debt to China
Africa’s debt to China refers to outstanding loans from Chinese development finance institutions (e.g., China Exim Bank, China Development Bank) to African governments, often under the Belt and Road Initiative for infrastructure projects like ports, roads, and power plants. As of 2022 (the latest detailed estimate from the China Africa Research Initiative at Boston University), the total outstanding debt was $170 billion across 49 countries. This figure has likely grown modestly by 2025 due to new disbursements (e.g., $13.3 billion in 2024 for Sub-Saharan Africa alone), but repayments and restructurings (e.g., in Zambia and Ethiopia) may keep it around $170-180 billion. Cumulative loan commitments since 2000 total $182 billion, but outstanding amounts are lower due to amortization.
Key Similarities:
• Scale and Significance: All represent substantial bilateral financial flows. US debt to China ($731B) is the largest, roughly 4x Africa’s debt to China ($170B), while China to US ($27B) is negligible by comparison. These debts underscore China’s role as a major global creditor, holding about 2-3% of total US public debt but up to 15-18% of some African countries’ external debt (e.g., Angola at $46B cumulative).
• Geopolitical Leverage: Holdings can influence relations—China’s US Treasury stake gives it indirect sway over US interest rates, while African debt has sparked “debt trap” debates, with restructurings often tied to resource access or political concessions.
• Economic Interdependence: These debts support trade imbalances; China’s US holdings stem from its trade surplus (recycling dollars into Treasuries), while African loans fund exports of commodities to China.
Key Differences:
• Nature and Terms: US-China debt is symmetric but asymmetric in size—market-driven purchases of liquid, low-risk Treasuries (yielding ~4-5% currently) vs. China’s minimal sovereign exposure to the US. Africa-China debt is directional (loans from China, no reciprocal African holdings of Chinese bonds), often concessional (low-interest, long-maturity) but project-tied, opaque, and less liquid, with risks of default leading to restructurings (e.g., 20+ African countries restructured since 2020).
• Purpose and Risks: US-China ties stabilize global finance and currency (China manages yuan via dollar reserves), with low default risk. African loans target development (infrastructure in 70% of deals), but carry higher risks—15.3% of Sub-Saharan Africa’s external debt in 2023 was to China, contributing to crises in Zambia and Ghana. Repayments strain budgets (Africa faces $22B in 2025 payments to China alone).
• Trends and Implications: China has reduced US holdings by ~40% since 2015 peaks ($1.3T) amid de-dollarization, but increased African lending post-2023 slowdown. This shifts focus: US-China debt is a “safe asset” story, while Africa-China evokes sustainability concerns, with calls for transparency and multilateral relief.
In summary, US-China debt flows are mature, reciprocal (though lopsided), and integral to global reserves, while Africa-China is more predatory in perception, focused on resource-backed development with vulnerability to shocks. For the most current figures, check US Treasury TIC data or Boston University’s CLA database, as these evolve monthly.

chidiokay:
All i see is you "stressing" Grammar, how do you posit Africa is in love with china considering the queues at America embassy undecided, how many people you know personally hustling for china passport or citizenship

America is an Anglophone country and has been the world's biggest economy for a long time, so it is appropriate to have many Africans, especially from Anglophone countries desire to move to the US. Even though most of us are guilty of it, "hustling for another country's passport" isn't something to be proud of. But that hustling for passports has no basis in our debate here about Chinese investments in Africa.

its funny how guyz like you come up with some reasoning .. do you know how many blacks/families benefited from US visa lottery DV, who china help

Lol! Going by your name, do you know how many Igbo boys China made today? Bebex got paid from Nwa Boi, entered China without any knowledge of the language to buy goods and today, he is rich. There are many like him across the major markets in Nigeria and West Africa. Today, other ethnic groups and women, especially, are going to the same China. Rwandans who speak Chinese are earning not less than $500 per month as translators for Chinese businessmen in their country.

I am not demonising America, but setting the facts. China invests more in Nigeria and Africa than the US. That is a fact. That is not demonising. Stop putting words into my fingers. That is not a nice thing to do.

I doubt you understand the rate at which chinese go about " capital flight" they are the biggest gainer in All ... so dont tell me to hate US and luv china for what ?? who they help whats there record helping nations in crisis zero.

Then set up your businesses and keep the capital to yourself. You have no right to restrict capital repatriation. I do agree that the US assists more in times of crises, but I think that is a cultural difference between the superpowers.

I support Donald Trump's calls for the persecution against Christians in Nigeria to stop. My argument is that China has invested and created jobs for ordinary Africans than the US-led West has. The Chinese have done well for themselves, and I am proud of them. I am not pro-China or pro-USA. I am pro-prosperity for African countries and the Black race. So any willing partner is welcome, provided we become prosperous.

End. Of. Discussion.

emmaodet:
I don't know why there is this strong anti-chinese/china among nigerians.
They are far better that the west.

I am thinking of many reasons such as:

1. China does not do freebies. So for people who are used to free things, embracing the Chinese would be hard.
2. The Chinese have a strong work ethic, an overwork culture and strict adherence to rules. This is not a Chinese thing, but East Asian. Those principles made them who they are today. Many Nigerians find such work conditions to be bad. I can understand.
3. Chinese companies don't pay well. Well, as I have stated, salaries are a function of productivity and population. Our productivity is low and the population is high. Salaries are low in India, Indonesia and Vietnam. We are at the nascent stages of industrialisation. History is replete with such societies with low salaries. The Chinese are the ones investing in that aspect more than the Americans. And we need more factories so we can produce more, and factories' jobs are what our people need, not TikTok influencing. Factories ensure life-long skills and productivity. Nigeria needs jobs; the Chinese bring in capital and technical know-how. I don't get the irritation.
4. Some people are jealous that a different country with its own systems and cultures is pairing up with the US. They never imagined it in their lifetime.
5. They are envious of the Chinese because they believe it should have been them. It is how you mentioned how Angolans prefer Portuguese or White people to Nigerians. They believe na them for dey there. But believing is not the way; you work for it. Nothing is free in life. You work for it.
