The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press presents a scholarly book that is not just for Hong Kong people, but for the whole world. It is called “Africans and Low-End Globalization in Guangzhou”, which explores Guangzhou, the so-called “World City of South China”.
What are the benefits of globalization? The left gum of the West is beating gongs and drums, which is considered an irresistible trend. There are many black Africans in Guangzhou, and Hong Kong people don’t know much about it, except that when black Africans come to Guangzhou, there are many Chinese women who like the physical advantages of their natural endowments and voluntarily send them to Guangzhou.
This is a vulgar perception in the style of Hong Kong’s Mongkok Longtiger Leopard magazine, which ignores many social science details. The Africans in Guangzhou are the epitome of “low-end globalization”. Like a beacon, CUHK’s book explores a dark biological chain under globalization.
The book exposes: “The business process for African businessmen in Guangzhou begins with Chinese businessmen purchasing goods, or suppliers purchasing large quantities of specialized goods, or through the Alibaba.com platform, which is used by African businessmen in Guangzhou. Or, through the Alibaba.com platform, they purchase large quantities of Chinese counterfeit goods, from shirts to cell phones.”
Black Africans know that everything is counterfeit, as long as there is a so-called platform, a container, and a logistics chain “supporting” the currency exchange, China-Africa globalization is all in one place.
Two Chinese women scholars assisted in researching and translating: “A man bought a bottle of Unilever brand shampoo and asked a Chinese copycat manufacturer to produce 6,000 bottles for sale in Somalia. He had no concept of trademark, didn’t know he couldn’t do it, and his goods were confiscated by Hong Kong Customs. He called me and I told him that he had to disappear for a while or he would definitely be imprisoned.” The above text has been slightly edited and edited by me.
Note to Lin Zheng: Black African brothers in Guangzhou cooperate with the people of their motherland, the intelligence of the blacks plus the cleverness of the Chinese, and send Chinese knock-offs to Africa, but they are “stuck” in the customs of Lin Zheng Special Administrative Region. It is a blatant destruction of the Belt and Road, may I ask the Linzheng government how the future efficiency of your “one-hour living circle in the Greater Bay Area”, can you think about half?
It’s not just the black genie, it’s the Chinese who are quicker on the uptake. Black Chinese cooperation can also open up a fast track for the yuan against the dollar. A black Kenyan “businessman” told a foreign writer: “A Chinese man once told me that a broker friend said that he was involved in a construction project in Nairobi and wanted to sell his goods through the ‘Hawala system. (System) from China gave me two million dollars and told me to wire the money to Nairobi. My friend said there was no problem, and it was very easy to do the transfer over the phone.”
The “Hawala System” is a Third World underground waterway that is used for more than half of all foreign currency exchanges between East Africa and China. The “One Belt, One Road” allows a large number of continental “private businessmen” to convert RMB into USD by simply putting up a project number in Africa.
In 1989, there was the world-famous “Operation Yellow Bird”, and forty years later there was the “Yellow Bird and Crow” financial corridor. If the young people of Hong Kong, who have long resisted the mainland, had been so aware ten years ago and taken the high-speed rail to Guangzhou to participate, using the Pearl River Delta as a springboard to join their black brothers, half of today’s black-shirted young people in Hong Kong would have been developed long ago.
The liberal education in Hong Kong’s secondary schools should be strengthened in this perspective.
