China reshaping ties with Africa

@臺支臺蛆死全家
I am Chinese. The education we received from childhood has always told us that cooperation leads to win-win results and harmony is precious. It is heartwarming to see this being gradually realized.

@p2324b
One of the Ugandan leaders put it this way, "Every time the US visits us, we get a lecture. Every time China visits us, we get a hospital."

@nocturnalforsaken4519
USA come to poor country with bullet and gun.
China came with concrete and asphalt.


China’s role in Africa reflects one of the most significant shifts in global alliances and economic power dynamics over the past decade. In 2024, China's trade with Africa increased nearly 5 per cent year on year. Initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, Beijing’s plan to grow global trade, and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation have contributed to the rise of China as the continent's top trading partner. Despite its domestic economic slowdown, China’s relationship with African nations is evolving as Beijing shifts towards public-private partnerships and engaging financial institutions for project funding rather than traditional government-to-government loans. Trade is also diversifying, with Africa exporting more non-resource goods like coffee and avocados to China. In this video, Africa expert Hannah Ryder and Post Africa correspondent Jevans Nyabiage discuss the evolving China-Africa economic partnership.

Red Bull Drone x F1 Max Verstappen

@10MinutesVideos
The RB20 racing in the rain viewed from above looks even more beautiful

@keensweep
The rain was perfect. That is some awesome footage. Congratulations for creating the next generation of filming tech.

@whatupguys1
the chase drone footage is so good you can actually notice small twitches and corrections as Max reaches each curve (like 10:13), details you can't really appreciate with your normal dashcam or stationary rig. Like Max said, this could really change the way people view the sport. Also, that wake the car leaves behind is just mesmerizing.

@xliver4
This thing pulls ~2000+ watts for a whole lap with all of the electronics inside of a tiny tube. They did this without blowing up the ESC, and they kept a clean enough signal for a stable video feed + GPS rescue + clean enough gyro signal to be flyable / no de-syncs. And they hit those speeds with all the added weight of beefed up electronics, stripped down action cam, and a battery large enough to sustain that load??? Hopefully those that haven't flown FPV can appreciate the work that went into this drone (even the initial prototype)! Absolutely incredible job by everyone involved!


This is Formula 1 like you’ve never seen it before. The ‪@dutchdronegods‬ follow Max Verstappen’s brand new ‪@redbullracing‬ RB20 F1 car for a full lap of Silverstone’s Grand Prix Circuit. The world first uninterrupted FPV one shot was captured by a manually piloted custom built drone, designed specifically for the challenge of keeping up with the car at speeds of over 300kph.

It took Red Bull and the Dutch Drone Gods over a year to create a drone that can accelerate two times faster than an F1 car, reaching 300 km/h in just 4 seconds with a top speed of over 350 km/h. The development was accelerated by access to know-how and processes of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, a high-performance engineering arm of Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team.

Brendan Carr x John Stewart

@jwlove66
As someone that works in the gov overseeing IT upgrades .. this level of fuckery is absolutely real.

@Glyff3083
The thing people don't point out is this is on purpose. They make sure every cent goes to them. They create positions and tasks that take zero effort to get a paycheck so they can just shove money in their pockets

@RAWBOT301
Billions are wasted on proposals that go nowhere when they could have used that money laying fiber cables.

@dan8910100
The purpose of the bureaucracy is to justify the existence of the bureaucracy. Peak Karentocracy

@groundhog7063
They had 56 applicants that each got $5 million dollars in planning grants, then all but 3 applicants dropped out along the way. Fifty-three applicants dropped out of the program. That's $265 million that, in the end, accomplished absolutely nothing.


In his latest video, John Stewart discusses the $42 billion government broadband scandal with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr.

Carr has been critical of how the Biden administration's Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program — a $42.5 billion initiative under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ― has been managed, arguing that funds are being misallocated to areas that already have high-speed internet rather than prioritizing unserved or underserved communities.
