..."Over 1 million Chinese citizens live in Africa, with Angola hosting a population of over 350,000 Chinese."...

Now that explains why I saw a Chinese restaurant in Nigeria on my first trip there! Ha!

The Chinese will be the next Super Power.

Jeni Fa Wednesday, October 7th 2015 at 8:44PM

Well it certainly looks like they are trying to. The Chinese are very enterprising people and they are hard workers that came over during the Gold rush and also did mining and built railroads. Didn't the Chinese economy crash the other day?!



Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 7th 2015 at 11:29PM

That is a good question Sister Ja, I will get back to you on that.

China’s Stock Market Crash Is the Latest Crisis of Global Capitalism Alongside rising protests from farmers and workers, China now confronts a middle class anxious about a slowdown in growth and burned by the stock market bust. It’s a volatile brew.

..."It was only a matter of time, many analysts thought, before Beijing and the BRICS would replace the traditional economic hegemons as drivers of the world economy. This optimism proved short-lived,..."

Indeed it did!

1. before europeanSuez Canal there was only Africa Asia

2. before the racistlyIgnorant European paganChristians starting Conflict in Africa Asia NO ONE called self or identified self as "whiteBlackRedYellow" people

3. 70%+ of African Asians Identify in 2015 as adherents of the Monotheistic Belief

4. 90%+ of African Asians Identified in 1492 as adherents of the Islaamic Monotheistic Belief

5-10 Pleeeese

Sister Fa,

Many Chinese in Africa have intensely nationalist feelings, often expressed in crudely racist terms. They tend to stick together, perhaps even more tightly than other incomers in the past. They are wary of joint enterprises with Africans, except at the highest level, where presidents and generals come into play.

Africans are routinely derided by the ordinary Chinese, in virtually every country Mr French visits, as lazy and incompetent; “90% of Africans are thieves,” says a leading entrepreneur in Namibia. In Liberia a Chinese hotelier explains that his compatriots generally bring their own towels for fear of using one previously used by “hei ren” (“black people”) as they are lumpenly known.

In short this article is about something else that is not talked about that is now going on in Africa: Read More: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-ar...

AfricanAsians are Moroccan to Chinese ------ same people

Mr. French has ALWAYS been a LIAR and is a LIAR today............

Jeni Fa Friday, October 9th 2015 at 9:17AM

@ Rob,

Why my friend do you call Mr. French a liar? Is it because he's European? I'm of the opinion that French is merely reporting his observations. The Chinese can be really unscrupulous as well many others that seek after Capitalism. I'm very of anything I buy that is made in China when I go to Nigeria. Anyway its the Nigerian government's fault.

Jeni Fa Friday, October 9th 2015 at 9:19AM

@ Deac,

..."Some African leaders, by contrast, plainly like the Chinese approach to government and big business, which puts human rights and transparency totally to one side, ...The presidents of Angola and Zimbabwe are notorious examples, but others abound. Moreover, if Western donors or investors try to lay down conditions on such matters, African leaders have become adept at threatening to “go east”. ...

There you have the problem's source. The corruption in African countries that allow Chinese exploitation.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 9th 2015 at 9:55AM

@ Fa,

"GREED" Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness, is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. It is applied to a markedly high desire for and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.

The Bible speaks on this subject:

Ephesians 4:18-20King James Version (KJV)

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

For that greed of the government, the people have to suffer racism in modern times by the ruling foreign class of people. WOW!

Jeni Fa Saturday, October 10th 2015 at 1:45AM

Definitely!


robert powell Saturday, October 10th 2015 at 8:58AM


jeniFa,

yes, I was born in Europe and my first language was European and understand a little about european'Veracity'

I came to begin knowing Chinese OR Indochinese in my youth and I have NEVER in California or New York met a Chinese person that I did not like............in Fact NEVER known of a Historical Chinese person I dislike.......and I know from travel to eastAfrica that Chinese Educate the MAJORITY of native MEDICAL Professionals that help their poor and unhealthy masses.......Chinese are GOOD to me...........and the poor masses of AfricaAsia............

Jeni Fa Saturday, October 10th 2015 at 4:29PM

@ Rob,

I'm glad you've had good relations with the Asians of China but generally speaking they haven't been kind to Africans. When they hosted the Olympics in Beijing there were lots of reports of racism. My landlord is Asian and although he's cordial, I don't know that I he respects people from my persuasion. Its female intuition that I'm working with. When I ask him if he would like something to drink ... even a bottle of water, he has an answer for even that. "Oh, I have a bottle in my car." Its the mannerisms and body language that I pay attention to. All I know, for my husband's sake I hold my tongue but somebody help him if he ever bring out the feisty in me. ((lol))

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, October 11th 2015 at 7:56PM

I also see that in some upper class Chinese.

Jeni Fa Sunday, October 11th 2015 at 10:23PM

It's their loss.

robert powell Monday, October 12th 2015 at 8:09AM


As there are over 150 Million Muslims in China, a beautiful Islaamic Center in Westminister with over 500,000 Indochinese and one of my favorite Halal chineseRestaurants around the corner from Disney Land.......

I have had more than just short talks with Chinese.

but I understand from praying, fasting and enjoying the company of Chinese in California, Minnesota, Illinois, NewYork and internationally in Africa ---- the negroid African Americans generally target for crime Chinese looking people(Koreans etc.) and the Chinese/Asian culture is a proud and RESPONSIBLY FREE culture

---- they in many cases are PERPLEXED by the shameless negroid African American selfDestructive Family culture and shameless 'subservient'Mind of the childlike slaveAmericans to europeanRacism and paganChristianity

as for AfricaAsia, again they help produce the GREATEST amount of medicalProfessionals in Africa AND are TODAY in 2015 the GREATEST builder of African Infrastructure in MANY africanNations.......

.....I Respect all AfricanAsian Culture......of growth and family without europeanDefinitions......

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 12th 2015 at 8:41AM

Robert,

Thank you for your input to this subject. It would be foolish to say that all Chinese practice racism but when the Chinese are in Africa and mistreat the people of the hosting country is another.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 12th 2015 at 4:10PM

I did not know that Equatorial Guinea's GDP per capita in 2014 was about $33,000, comparable to Spain.

Learn more about littleTyranical nations equatorialGuinea and YOU will find that the Chinese TREAT the native populations BETTER than their leaders............

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 15th 2015 at 12:23PM

Show me where I can find that, can you?

@ Rob,

{---- they in many cases are PERPLEXED by the shameless negroid African American selfDestructive Family culture and shameless 'subservient'Mind of the childlike slaveAmericans to europeanRacism and paganChristianity"}


That very well maybe the case, but its a serious injustice for my landlord (he has issues) to 'thumb his nose' at me without knowing my personal story.






robert powell Saturday, October 17th 2015 at 11:14AM


dearest jeniFa I cannot write for one American that may see self as...... "Yellow" you as "black"

but in Educated terms of Medical Professionalism and Human Concern

the People's Republic of China has developed for AfricanAsians and All the Family of Adaam(as) a CHEAP medicinal cure for Ebola and HIVAids...............

Jeni Fa Saturday, October 17th 2015 at 2:48PM

@ Rob,

I can appreciate that and I'm also glad to know that with all the faults that Mother Africa has that she still allows Asian people(s) to use her precious resources to find cures to diseases that are killing her people.
