I'm not really a CSPAM poster but I've got two questions for especially folks who generally support the present Chinese model 1. Are there any empirical studies/investigative reports that are actually reliable that you can point me to that show how the conditions of labor have changed in the last 10 years? Folks like Wang Hui, whose book "China's 20th Century" I read, argued that the mass migrations from rural areas to urban areas, and especially special economic zones, created a group of "New Workers," several hundred million strong, who have some generational connections to the countryside but are solidly urban. Their wages are low, and they work long hours under conditions of industrial drudgery (moreso in the free trade zones). What has happened to these folks as a group since, say, 2016? Have things gotten better for them in any way? 2. What are the actual experiences of Africans working on BRI-funded initiatives like? I'm looking for information on this, maybe even a book (that is serious in its empirical inquiry but also sympathetic to revolutionary politics and decidedly not anti-communist?) I've found good stuff from the Tricontinental Institute broadly showing how the conditions of BRI debt are far and away better than World Bank/Paris Club debt, but I have seen less on the immediate impacts on regular people and especially workers in the many African BRI projects Thanks!

There is a "China in Africa" podcast, I think they talk about BRI decent amount. Just a lead.

I bet I know the answer of course they're not different. and if you blow up something that expected a different frequency that's on you for not reading carefully lol this is a typical grounded outlet (3-prong outlets aren't common so you have to ground most things yourself like this)  they also allow the sale of unusual power strips

They used to sell those in the US too. 100 vs 120 is not really a big deal, I have a converter for like weird antique poo poo I don't want to even imagine blowing up but every day in the winter I trust my balls to a nominal 100v heater working fine with American 120v. US 120 was 110 to begin with and when transmission got better and losses got lower we just relabeled everything. It's the 50hz/60hz gap that can get weird, especially because 1xx/50 is otherwise limited to Euro electric shavers.

You hardly need explicit reports like this to know that three letter agencies astroturf online, they barely try to hide it.
