And you're proudly advertising how you enable Chinese to come undercut and push local companies out of business?

Our politicians don't have any plan. They're there to take taxes, steal some and spend just a little on us. For plans to move us out of our problems they ain't got no clue.

Everybody knows that China encouraged and continues to encourage their local industries and exports them and their citizens all over the world. Are we not interested in prioritising and growing our local industries first, or at least keep some industries restricted from the Chinese? What's wrong with us?

That is quite literally setting the tine for a chinese take-over of your economy just as it is with the US economy where the balance of payment is largely skewed in China's favour. If you require tech transfer, there are smarter means of achieving that. This is not the way. You will be owned, literally, by China if you encourage this trajectory.

As much as our Govt is totally clueless and useless, most Ghanaians are not business minded..the average Ghanaian like show off too much..look at all the business men in Ghana, it’s like competition, they all wants to show off in big Cars and mansions instead of expanding their business empire..it has become a norm for the Ghanaian business man to buy expensive cars to show off instead of taking advantage of some of these businesses so they can create more manufacturing companies..the show off is becoming too much instead of being focused and investing in these kind of businesses..the car some of them are driving could equally set up some of these manufacturing businesses..Chinese are having big investment and business in Ghana yet u will be surprised most of them are driving Honda civic, Toyota Corolla and Hyndai Elantra..Ghanaians are more focused on showing off but the Chinese are more focused on expanding their business empire in Ghana and most African countries..so the difference is clear

Hmm, Ghanaian politicians don’t have a clear path for development..as much as foreign investment is good, too much of it is deadly and dangerous for the economy..am surprises Mahama’s administration is taking same foolish path just as Npp did..so u want Ghanaians to be slaves in their own country..Ndc/Npp nothing new to offer Ghana..it’s about time we break this duopoly in politics..ndc/npp will collapse Ghanaian business especially if he is in the opposition..we don’t build a country like that..About 80% of profits from these Chinese investments will be taking back to China..that’s the same reason why USA is struggling with the trade war because most of the manufacturing companies are in China so how do u put tariffs on them..They will collapse Ghanaian business because the individual belongs to the opposition party..Ghanafuo ay3 Mobor

What that's not your doing it's previous governments so I won't blame you but how do you think this is good development how many businesses Ghana have in China. They are using you as a base to have the whole black continent in their hands and you are handing over the future generations to them. Grow your own business they subsidise their business to put you out of business when will Africa learn I beg you please open your eyes.from one colonizer to another only this one is more dangerous because they will be taking your life blood Help your business with tax breaks and tariffs until they can compete with heavely subsidise Chinese companies. They will use you and the profits will be going back China they even bring their own workers and treat Ghanian as servants.

Bad government because they can't boost any factories establish by the government and own by state but selling Ghana to the Chinese what's a useless approach yet they claim to be Nkrumah's followers.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH OUR COUNTRY IS THAT , GHANAIANS DO NOT " OWN " THEIR OWN INCOME PRODUCING MANUFACTURING .

THE LAND AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS ARE ALWAYS AT HUGE DISADVANTAGE.

PLEASE THE PEOPLES OF THE LAND MUST OWN THEIR OWN IMPORTANT INCOME PRODUCING FIRMS.

THE YOUNG PEOPLES OF THEIR OWN LAND MUST BE GIVEN HUGE OPPORTUNITIES TO CREAT WEALTH IN THE LAND .

HOW CAN CHINESE TAKE AWAY HUGE OPPORTUNITIES FROM OUR OWN GHANAIANS.
IT MUST AND MUST CHANGE. IT MUST CHANGE SOON; OTHERWISE THE COUNTRY MAY BE IN BIG TROUBLE.

THE WORLD IS CHANGING VERY FAST; AND OUR YOUNG GENERATIONS ARE NOT GETTING THE OPPORTUNITIES.

THANKS. GOD HELP AND BLESS GHANA .

GHANA NEEDS LEADERS WHO TRULY LOVE THE PEOPLES OF GHANA .
NOT LEADERS FOR POPULARITY OR FOR MONEY.

And the Chief of Staff thinks it's an achievement? If you've worked with Chinese before, you won't want to be in bed with them. This means nothing to our nation, Chief of Staff!
