In the jungle, the animals mock the turtle for its movement, but less did they know that the turtle is wiser but calm. Faced with the supremacy of other animals in the jungle, the least respected turtle comes up with big ideas when the jungle is in crisis and needs urgent attention before the situation worsens.
Fast forward to the 21st century, when more and more powerfully recognized countries in trade and technology cannot be overlooked; China has been able to establish itself as one of the leading countries, if not probably the best, when it comes to technology.
The Chinese have been providing aid to countries around the world and Ghana is not exempt.
Currently, the economic assistance that China provides to Ghana is quite huge, as Chinese aid projects include a concessional loan of $ 6 billion from the Export-Import Bank of China that Ghana is using to expand its rail network.
This is one of the vehicles that is aimed at improving the good tandem between Ghana and China.
Again, we should not see the Chinese as a problem, but rather as a blessing in the sense that Ghana would continue to benefit greatly from them if the relationship is strong.
We should also know that when we allow these Chinese to establish their businesses here, there will be job creation that will create job opportunities and also help boost the country’s ‘GDP’.
When we foster close ties with these Chinese and see them as allies, they will have the peace of mind of conducting their business in the country without fear of being attacked by the Ghanaians, as this relationship will benefit Ghanaians especially those in rural areas.
A strong resistance group must be formed to expose the people who tarnish the image of the Chinese in Ghana.
One thing we have to keep in mind is to establish a Chinese office to collaborate with the Ghana Immigration Service and to help identify and also help to separate their own law-abiding Chinese citizens from illegal citizens who are flying in for illegal activities. .
The following are some of the points to consider:
1. We can develop strategies to use investigative journalists to defend the reputation of good Chinese and their business in the country.
2. Do intensive research on the culprits who conspire to tarnish the image of the Chinese and also expose them so that people know that the Chinese are a blessing rather than an evil, as has been speculated in the Ghanaian media and in diverse communities. Since these Chinese cannot defend themselves, the media can help them to become spokespersons for the Chinese, because they are foreigners and they do not always want to fight back.
If the strategy is executed well, it will expose the bad people who instigate the Ghanaians against the Chinese.
Attention should be paid to this plan to help Ghana benefit more from the Chinese and also to make the Chinese feel comfortable in the country.
Ghana and China have made important achievements that deserve recognition. It is a fact that Ghana was one of the first and consistent advocates and supporters of China’s admission to the United Nations and later a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
It was Ghana and former President JA Kufuor, who was Deputy Foreign Minister, who cast the historic vote in the United Nations General Assembly for the admission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations in 1971.
This paved the way for the acceptance of the People’s Republic of China in the international community of nations and restored its legitimacy as the sole true representative of China to the United Nations.
Achievements on the economic, trade and investment front cannot be overemphasized.
The two countries have deepened their cooperation, as China has provided Ghana with much-needed economic support in the areas of financial and infrastructure development.
China is currently the largest investor in Ghana for several registered projects; it is also Ghana’s largest investment partner.
