W. Gyude Moore is a visiting fellow at the Center for Global Development. He previously served as Liberia’s Minister of Public Works with oversight over the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure from December 2014 to January 2018. Prior to that role, Moore served as Deputy Chief of Staff to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Head of the President’s Delivery Unit (PDU). As Head of the PDU, his team monitored progress and drove delivery of the Public Sector Investment Program of Liberia—a program of over $1 billion in road, power, port infrastructure, and social programs in Liberia after the civil war. As one of the President’s trusted advisors, he also played a crucial role in supporting President Sirleaf as Liberia responded to the West Africa Ebola outbreak and shaped its post-Ebola outlook. His research tracks the channels of private sources of finance, the rise of China and its expanding role in Africa, and Africa’s response to these changes. He holds a BS in Political Science from Berea College and an MS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University.

"It seems U.S. response in Africa were not driven by Africans's needs but by the need to stop what China is doing in Africa" one of the most powerfulest quotes I've ever heard and very well articulated !
-
Best statement: China might win more, but at least Africa don’t lose.
-
Ethiopa used to have an American Dream and got US bags of rice. Now, they have a new dream, the China Dream, and they get factories and roads.
-
This honest man disappointed many audiences, in the room, and not in the room.
-
the part where he talked about how African delegations get respect from China no matter how small or weak they may be is just wow
-
The speaker here was very sincere.
-
I think it is very telling that Mr. Moore's recites his experience about how certain African leaders are snubbed by US politicians (both Democrat and Republican), whereas they enjoy access to the highest echelons of the Chinese leadership. That sends a powerful message to African leaders.
-
For the first time, people in Africa saw their resources exchange made some difference in their life!!
-
Every time there's a discussion of Africa/China relations in the Q&A, you'll hear a Westerner ask about Chinese debt trap and Sri Lanka. You can see the guest speaker chuckle and point out that this question always comes up. I like his answer, first time I've heard this fact, China's restructured payments 87 times and only 1 time has there been a debt equity swap. During Covid19 China has provided debt relief to African countries.

This guy speaks well on behalf of Africa. I agree with this 100% as an African
-
As a Chinese I want to see Africa flourish! It's a long and difficult journey, but we'll get there one day. You'll see.
-
Look at this speaker from Africa. He is confident, intelligent and proud of what he has accomplished for his nation.
-
Before China goes to Africa The West: Just let the colonies to fight , donot bother us is fine. After China goes to Africa The West : Do not let them to bulid for you, They will take your lands and resources. The Africa : Donot worry, It has been taken by you for a long long long time....................

I cried when he described how the Chinese government treats their delegation upon business visits. How respectful the Chinese are. Who wouldn't fall for the gesture? As human that's what we value most ; honour.
-
My college friend from Ghana once said China is greatly improving the quality of life in his home country. Some of his family members decide to stay in Ghana for more economic opportunities due to the advancement in infrastructure.
-
I am doing my final project on China Africa relations and this has been so insightful. The speaker is speaking some truth!!
-
It's quite refreshing to hear an African minister discussing the African issue with reference to china as oppose to usually European or American perspective. I can certainly understand better why African choose to go with China atm.
-
What China is doing in Africa is what China has gone through after the open and reform. The essences of China's fast development are: 1. Foreign investment 2. Transportation Infrastructure 3. Manufacturing China is genuinely trying to help Africa to grow in a way that is proven effective in China.
-
Every time I go to Ghana, Ivory coast,Senegal new highways, bridges, malls, paved roads are being built.People are extremely encouraged and determined to start new businesses.despite all the problems, the continent is moving forward.
-
Glad that this African speaker admits that the future development of Africa will have a lot of Chinese “food prints”. More importantly the African do NOT loss when Chinese try to develop a win-win relationship. Very truthful comment! Another impressive point is that the speaker said the goods manufactured in China will only take one week to arrive in east Africa after the Silk Road and maritime initiative complete. What a bright future both for China and Africa 👍👍👍
