Date: August 27th, 2026 2:47 PM Author: Floppy Pearly Kitty Cat the countries that are embracing gorgeous china are leapfrogging
even shithole pakistan with its weapons PWN'd furking india
ive noticed in my travels places lke laos, burma etc embrace china and little things are nicer like roads, sometimes sidewalks and sometimes they have trains and shit built by gorgeous china
PRAISE CHINA what a country
If you mean the **modern Nairobi–Mombasa Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)**, it was built by **China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC)**, a subsidiary of **China Communications Construction Company (CCCC)**. Construction ran roughly **2014–2017**, with passenger service beginning in May/June 2017. ([CRBC][1])
* **Builder:** CRBC (China) * **Length:** ~480 km for the original Mombasa–Nairobi section * **Financing:** About **90% financed by China Exim Bank**, with Kenya providing the remainder. ([World Bank][2]) * **Cost:** roughly **$3.6–3.8 billion** * **Technology:** Chinese standards, equipment and technology * **Kenyan involvement:** Thousands of Kenyans worked on construction and later operations; it wasn't literally built entirely by Chinese workers.
If you mean the **older Mombasa–Nairobi railway**, that's a completely different story: it was the **British-built Uganda Railway**, constructed starting in **1896** and reaching Nairobi in **1899**. ([krc.co.ke][3])
So essentially: **old railway = British Empire; new SGR = China.**

Date: August 27th, 2026 2:56 PM Author: gaped vibrant alpha They spent 3.6-3.8 BILLION dollars on a train that will never return a tenth that amount in revenue. They borrowed this from the Chinese state (China Exim Bank). So when Kenya can’t meet its loan payments, China will say “that’s fine we will just take your main port and your main airport instead”. So China takes control of Kenya, and Kenya only gets a shitty train nobody rides in return. This is China’s MO. They have already taken control of a bunch of other countries like Ethiopia, Zambia, and possibly Sri Lanka the exact same way.

africans have no agency? they decided to build this, building a furking basic train between ur two biggest cities isnt exactly some crazy furkin travesty
it will fail, but thats cause africa is full of niggas and this shit will decay and not run properly if the chinks leave
but thats not chinas fault its actually why they have reduced doing shit like this in niggaland cause they realized niggas are stupid furking shit |

Date: August 27th, 2026 3:04 PM Author: Floppy Pearly Kitty Cat its not doing THAT terrible, theres shit in like senegal that has like 5 passengers a day
It has actually been doing **much better on revenue and volume recently**, especially freight.
For the **Mombasa–Nairobi SGR**, the latest full-year data (2025) show:
| | 2024 | 2025 | Change | | --------------------- | -------------: | ---------------: | -------: | | Passengers | ~2.44m | **2.73m** | +12% | | Passenger revenue | KSh 4.09bn | **KSh 4.79bn** | +17% | | Freight | 6.53m tonnes | **~7.4m tonnes** | +12–14% | | Freight revenue | KSh 13.9bn | **KSh 16.6bn** | +19% | | **Total SGR revenue** | **KSh 18.1bn** | **KSh 21.4bn** | **+18%** |
([The Star][1])
So in 2025 it generated roughly **$166 million/year** in revenue at prevailing exchange rates. About **78% of revenue came from freight**, and only ~22% from passengers. ([Ecofin Agency][2])
### Passenger volume is pretty substantial
2.73 million passengers/year works out to roughly **7,500 passenger trips per day** averaged across the year. December was particularly busy, with **344,391 passengers in one month**, or about 11,100/day. ([China.org.cn][3])
The fare increase in January 2024 was significant, but passenger numbers subsequently **recovered and exceeded 2024 levels**.
### Freight is the real business
The railway moved around **7.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2025**, versus 6.53m in 2024. That produced **KSh 16.6 billion (~$128m)** of freight revenue. ([Ecofin Agency][2])
So I'd characterize the SGR as:
**Passenger service:** successful/high utilization **Freight:** increasingly important and much bigger financially **Overall revenue:** growing rapidly
But **revenue ≠ profit**. The really interesting question is whether the SGR is actually covering its operating costs **and its enormous construction/debt costs**. That's a much less favorable story, and I can break down **how much the $4.7B railway would need to earn to pay itself back** if you want.

Date: August 27th, 2026 4:51 PM Author: Razzle Filthpig Milk cr. using the figures tt lists above, and assuming there are zero operating costs, zero maintenance costs, and no interest on the capital used to build it, freight revenue is on track to pay itself off around 2062.

Date: August 27th, 2026 4:57 PM Author: Floppy Pearly Kitty Cat ive thought abt this but need to ask gpt, there must be some amazing scholarship in chink. theres that 180 documentary where the chink tells the congolese u are retarded
but im sure unlike birdshits who just have stereotypes chinks actually have real world recent experience so it wld be interesting
The documentary you are looking for is titled Empire of Dust (2011), directed by Belgian filmmaker Bram Van Paesschen.The Context of the ClipThe viral scene features a raw and tense conversation between Lao Yang, a Chinese logistics manager working for the China Railway Engineering Company (CREC), and Eddy, his Mandarin-speaking Congolese interpreter.While driving through the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to manage a road-building project, Lao Yang launches into a blunt, politically incorrect critique of Congolese work ethic and societal progress. He questions why the country has seemingly regressed since gaining independence from Belgium, claiming that local workers are lazy, unmotivated, and fail to sustain or plan infrastructure despite having vast natural resource wealth. |

Date: August 27th, 2026 5:04 PM Author: sienna charismatic chad school cafeteria right so behind the scenes of this company someone must be doing industrial/organizational research studies on these people before they decide to sink a ton of time and money into it. and then when they do they must be doing on-going studies to find areas of improvement and comparisons to chink labor. i bet there's an insane wealth of uncensored race research there.

Date: August 27th, 2026 5:13 PM Author: Floppy Pearly Kitty Cat i think chinks were just commmies and they believe race and class doesnt matter and during cold war they had relations with these nigga countries but didnt have money to do investment, then china got rich so fast it has hundreds of billons of excess USD it had to unload so it did belt and road and a lot of that money went to niggaland so u got situations where kind hearted commie chinks were trying to build trains and roads and do mines and shit in niggaland and for the first time they actually had to deal with nigga business and they were like oh shit
its actually funnny cause the CIA cld turn this into propoganda and say china was racist and doesnt want to invest in africa anymore but they prob realizes same applies to birdshits |
