Chinese presence in Africa misconstrued by the Westerns and Others

There is no Chinese doing galamsey in this country that is the misconception created by people who sees the Chinese as a threat to their business in Africa. Because they provide affordable services and products to the middle and lower class who cannot afford the expensive western products they feel challenge and have resulted to using the media and other strategies to create animosity between China and Ghana (Africa). The Chinese in Mining only provides services to Ghanaian own registered mining companies, the reasons why you see the Chinese working on the ground is that they are hardworking and don't want to look interventionist like the Americans and others who want to sit and direct without participation. The Chinese has provided enormous employment to youths in our rural areas, now instead of rural urban migration, people prefers to move from the urban areas to the rural areas to work.

Years ago the Chinese allowed the westerns to settle in their country later when they left, Chinese were able to manufacture their own cars, phones and others. If we allowed them, very soon they will teach us to also be a manufacturing country in years to come. I cannot put figures right now but their contribution to our GDP AND economy is very huge. They are not harmful but partners in development.

In days to come I will put detail written on “Chinese Presence in Africa and the Westerns propaganda” online for you all to read.
