If it does happen then it will be the best thing ever happend to Africa. The Africans will learn to live peacfull and live in a much lesser corruption country. Everyone who wants to work will geta job... there will be more benefits to thouse who isnt into corruption and living in Africa........ VIVA... China... VIVA CHI-AFRICA

Oh my God I totally disagree with the above answer! From what my friend in Cameroon has been telling me, Chinese there are selling goods for way under the market price - sounds like a good thing right? Wrong! Locals have no way of competing with these prices and are hence going out of business or struggling even more to survive.

Most of the major construction projects are run by Chinese, hiring Chinese so it's creating a lot of tension between locals and Chinese. Plus, come on...corruption isn't unique to Africa. China is notorious and many, if not all the projects that are being approved there, have been granted through corruption between Chinese and local governments.

What China is doing in Africa now is the exact same as what the West was doing during colonialism. They're going there and making the economy dependent on them, they sap the countries dry of resources and when their big, fat pockets are overflowing with money they withdraw, leaving behind a country even more crippled and deprived of resources than before!

Oh my ladygaga! I totally disagree with Lolitta2‘s answer! What is China doing in Africa? Colonial Africa? Do you even know what does colonialism mean? You just heard a friend tell you that, I've been there myself. We don't arrest anyone and sell he/she as slave to China, we don't kill anyone and take his/her belongings, we don't rape anyone, those cute mix-blood Chinese-African children are happy to have both dad and mum playing around.
I do agree that we get our part of benefit, why shouldn't we? At least we are doing something, Africa is better, not like Western countries only feed the corrupted African governments with dollars. Make the people feel like beggar, don't want a job but ask for money, food even once I've been asked to give soap.
I taught my kids to not being a beggar, I taught them that to be an African is not a shame, I showed them movies about all great Black people. I am chinese, and I am proud of what China is doing there. At least I feel welcomed there and I know they like Chinese.
BTW I was in Uganda, one of the poorest countries in Africa.

As does america interference in many country governments things. china will soon start it. china is already having a discussion on making the RMB as an international exchange currency like dollar or pound......... so

as a black american it pains me to see country after country go into africa and bribe the corrupt politicians to steal their natural resources while africans continue to fight and kill each other. here is the bottom line. china would never tolerate another country coming into china and doing what china is doing in africa. enough said

Wenna, you should know China has sold weapons to regimes in Africa used for genocide. Sudan, for example. But, and I've worked for state media, it is expressly forbidden to mention that.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
