Akala: China Developing Jamaica
Despite many reservations about China's actions, one undeniable fact remains: They are investing in Jamaica's infrastructure, a step that Britain failed to take in 300 years. This has resulted in cutting travel time to Montego Bay in half, benefiting the Jamaican economy.
Jamaicans, with whom musician Akala spoke, indicated their grievances are more directed toward the global capitalist system instead of China’s actions.
Akala said in this August 2018 discussion at the Edinburgh International Book Festival that the Chinese response to rejected projects in Jamaica has not been aggressive or retaliatory. Instead, they propose alternative business deals, and demonstrate a willingness to engage in constructive negotiations.
This stands in stark contrast to historical patterns of intervention by other major international powers like France, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Let us know in the comments what you think of Akala's findings.
