As a strategy and according to its convenience and benefit, China has established economic and trade ties with various African countries. Much concern has been expressed about the growth of the Chinese people in Ghana and many other countries. The flood of Chinese into Africa and other developing countries poses a grave danger to Africans because when they are welcomed, they attract more people to join them in the vast area they have created for them.
In South Africa, for example, the Chinese have created thirteen police stations in the area they occupy. The Chinese have openly declared, during the Chinese president’s meeting with African leaders, that China will help African countries in their development. He was able to attract African leaders with billions of dollars in loans and grants. In fact, the Chinese are not far from recolonizing the Africans. Right now, Ghana has the largest population of Chinese in Africa, according to a researcher who featured the top ten African countries with a large number of Chinese presence in their respective countries, in a WhatsApp video. However, it is difficult to corroborate or verify.
Ayeboafo is normally a name or title given to a person who has led a particular tribe or town to successful tribal warfare or a person who creates development for the village or area where they live. Simply put, Ayeboafo is someone who has done things to benefit others.
Sun Quiang is a timber merchant in Kwahu Abetifi in the eastern region. He built a school for Abetifi and undertook certain beneficial projects for the region. Normally, any company that wants to be recognized and sponsored has a corporate social responsibility to do something for citizens. Mobile phone companies offer scholarships to students and build schools and community centers for specific areas. None of these companies has been crowned head. Judge for yourself about the enstoolment that took place in Abetifi. A ceremony was held in the city and Chinese Sun Quiang was given a traditional name, Barima Kofi Ayeboafo, to commemorate his title as “Nkosuohene” (Head of Development) of Kwahu Abetifi. This title is normally awarded to people, sometimes foreigners, who are not royals but who are engaged in development that benefits the city.
The raid received a backlash as Abetifi citizens, both at home and abroad, expressed strong dissatisfaction with what they called a mistake, foolishness and mediocrity on the part of the Chiefs. The Chinese felt the pressure and according to his spokesperson, Barima Kofi Ayeboafo, he could barely sleep because he was shocked by the fact that people were so upset by the honor he was awarded.
Although Sun Quiang is not the first foreigner to be fooled as nkosuohene, because he is Chinese, people are skeptical about what is happening in his thinking. People say it is a slow and calculated attempt to take over the African continent. Within a month, he succumbed to protest and pressure from the citizens of Abetifi and resigned as chief.
In fact, Ghanaians are our own enemies. During the period of slavery, it was the chiefs and part of our people who handed us over to the white masters to enslave them. This mental incarceration still continues even at the highest levels of government both in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. This time slavery comes from China. The Chinese have been able to lure Africans into neocolonialism by distributing billions of dollars to African governments while they expel thousands of their citizens to these indebted African countries. While in Africa, they search for gold and other minerals. His agenda is to take over Africa in the near future. This is a typical tactic of neo-colonialism.
Zambia has played a lot in the hands of the Chinese. Mandarin, which is the main language in China, has now been added to the Zambian school curriculum. That same language was launched in South Africa. As if that weren’t enough, thirteen Chinese police stations have been established in South Africa. New era of colonialism perpetrated by the Chinese.
What Ghana and the entire African continent should know is that the Chinese people hate the Africans living in China. Africans living in China live in constant fear and insecurity. The Chinese do not hide their hatred for Africans unlike Europe, where racism is subtle. Many Chinese will never sit next to an African on public transportation. They are the same people we pamper in Ghana. They are the same people who do what they want in South Africa and Zambia.
A man who studied in China confirmed that the Chinese will never call Africa by name. Instead, they teach their children that the continent is called FEIZHOU, which means empty or wrong continent, a continent that lacks development and success. Very cynical!
Dear reader, my question is: do we need the Chinese to have a permanent residence in Ghana and Africa as a whole? We get loans and grants from the US and Europe, but they don’t fall on our necks like the Chinese do.
