10 | The recent arrests and release of Chinese miners* in Ghana have started another round of debates over China's growing presence in Africa. | Nahatonga adihevitra be ny amin'ny fiakaran'ny taham-pisian'ireo Shinoa hita ao Afrika iny fisamborana sy famotsorana Shinoa mpitrandraka volamena* tao Ghana iny. |
11 | Much has been covered in international media. | Marobe ireo efa noresahana tany amin'ireo Filazam-baovao maneran-tany. |
12 | Many discussions have looked at issues such as China's foreign investments and Chinese labor in Africa. | Maro be ihany koa ny resaka manodidina ireo olana toy ny fampiasam-bolan'ny Shinoa any amin'ny firenen-kafa sy ny asa ataon'ireo Shinoa ao Afrika. |
13 | One of the ideas that the discussion explored was, does it matter if the cat is white or black?: | Iray amin'ireo hevitra notrandrahana tamin'ny adihevitra ny hoe, olana ve moa raha mainty na fotsy ny saka ? : |
14 | If we look back at the recent history, we will be reminded that Deng Xiaoping, the reformist Chinese leader, encouraged economic development by all means when he opened up the Middle Kingdom to the world in 1979. | Raha itodihantsika ny tantara teo aloha kely teo, dia ho ampatsiahivina antsika fa i Deng Xiaoping, ilay mpitarika ny reformista tao Shina, dia tena namporisika ny fampandrosoana ara-toekarena tamin'ny fomba rehetra rehefa fony izy nanokatra ilay “Fanjakana Afovoany” ho an'izao tontolo izao ny taona 1979. |
15 | “It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice,” said Deng. | “Olana ve raha mainty na fotsy ny saka, rehefa mahasambotra voalavo izy dia izay,” hoy Deng. |
16 | Today, we may be in a world that is just a bit different. | Ankehitriny, miaina anaty tontolo izay somary hafa kokoa isika. |
17 | Can we then still say, “Don't mind the illegal miners, so long as they've got us gold”? | Mbola afaka ny hiteny ihany ve hoe, “Aza miasa saina amin'ireo mpitrandrajka tsy manara-dalàna ireo, rehefa manome volamena ho antsika izy dia izay”? |

31 | 1. How do local people think of illegal mining and Chinese miners in Ghana?: | 1. Ahoana ny fandraisan'ny mponina ao an-toerana ny fisian'ny fitrandrahana tsy manara-dalàna sy ireo Shinoa mpitrandraka ao Ghana ireo ?: |
32 | Jemila Abdulai: Foreign investors, including Chinese ones, make profits with Ghana's gold but do not invest back in local communities where people's livelihoods largely depend on gold | Jemila Abdulai : Tsy mba mampiasa vola amin'ny fiaraha-monina ao an-toerana izay miankina be tokoa amin'ny fitrandrahana volamena ireo mpandraharaha vahiny izay mahazo tombony amin'ny volamenan'i Ghana ireo, isan'izany i Shina |
33 | 2. How is the Western media covering these issues?: | 2. Ahoana kosa no famoahan'ny filazam-baovao Tandrefana ireny resaka ireny ? : |
34 | Winslow Robertson: Media coverage in the U.S. and Europe is split between balanced reports linking to the facts and reports that might be over-interpreting the issue | Winslow Robertson : Mizara roa eo amin'ny tatitra momba ny fampitàna ny zava-misy sy ny tatitra mety ho diso natavezina loatra momba ireo olana ny fandrakofam-baovao any Etazonia sy Eoropa |
35 | 3. How have China and Ghana interacted historically?: | 3. Ahoana ny fifandraisan'i Shina amin'i Ghana raha ara-tantara ? : |
36 | Winslow Roberts: This is one of the situations where the Chinese government and the Ghanaian government have friendly relations; but then Chinese citizens and Ghanaian citizens in different sectors might have different relations. | Winslow Roberts : Io no iray tena hifandraisan'ny governemanta Shinoa sy ny governemanta Ghaniana amim-pirahalahiana indrindra ; kanefa afaka ny hifandray amin'ny sehatra maro ihany ny mponina ao Shina sy ny mponina ao Ghana . |
37 | 4. According to Deng Xiaoping, the reformist leader who opened up China to market economy and foreign investments in 1979, “It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.” | 4. Araky ny filazan'i Deng Xiaoping, ilay mpitarika ny reformista izay nanokatra an'i Shina ho amin'ny tsena ara-toekarena sy ny fampiasam-bola any ivelany tamin'ny taona 1979, “Maninona moa raha mainty na fotsy ny saka, rehefa mahasambotra voalavo izy dia izay.” |
38 | Does it matter now which cat catches the mice? | Ary mbola zava-dehibe ve ny fahafantarana ankehitriny hoe saka inona no nahazo ilay voalavo ? |
39 | Hongxiang Huang: Yes, the black cat and the white cat can both catch mice. | Hongxiang Huang : Eny, afaka ny samy hisambotra voalavo ny saka mainty sy ny saka fotsy. |
40 | But maybe in the long run, the black cat, [for example]… does not only catch the mice. | Kanefa rehefa mandeha ny fotoana, ny saka mainty, [ohatra]… dia mety tsy misambotra voalavo fotsiny ihany no ataony. |
41 | It can also damage the furniture… and cause other problems. | Fa mety hanimba fanaka ihany koa… ary hiteraka olana hafa. |
