ONLY A JSS DROPOUT WOULD SAY SUCH A RASCIST AND IGNORANT THING. IT IS FINE IF HE PREFERS TO LIVE IN GHANA BUT BESMERCHING THE NAME OF A NATION WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE IN THIS MAN'S PLEA, ONLY COMMENTS WITH NOTHING TO BACK THEM UP. HE SHOULD HAVE EDUCATED HIMSELF ABOUT THE POPULATION, ATMOSPHERE AND LEGAL SYSTEM OF CHINA BEFORE MOVING THERE. NOW HE IS MARRIED WITH KIDS. HE SHOULD HAVE MOVED BACK HOME IF HE WANTED TO BEFORE HE COMMITTED HIMSELF TO THIS COUNTRY!

Next time you move into a country, find out more about it for goodness sake! Even JSS drop-outs know not to do this! You could be accused of the crime of defamation, are you foolish?

When I saw the statement "It’s better to be servants of the whites than Chinese", I began thinking that it is possible that some white bloke wrote this thrash to fool us Africans. However, on second thought, I realized that some unlevel-headed Africans with a very low self esteem can also write such trash. For me, I want to be nobody's servant.

In the 1960s all the way to the 1980s the Chinese were more or less like us but it is visionary leadership with good planning and determination that has brought them this far. We Africans can also pull ourselves out of poverty and desperate conditions if we learn from the Chinese.

You see, if the writer is truly a Ghanaian, then I feel sorry for him because he is very much ill-informed. China is battling with the task of taking care of the needs of a population of 1.3 billion people. This is no easy task. The last thing the Chinese government wants is to encourage immigrants to settle in their country and add more numbers to this enormous population. Therefore, it should come as no surprise if their policies are such as to discourage people from coming to settle and live in China. Of course, the Chinese government did the right thing by ignoring this marriage of convenience contracted to fool them. It will discourage others from taking advantage of Chinese girls just to enable them settle and live in China. I can only pity the unfortunate Chinese girl who is tied to this guy in a loveless marriage of convenience. I also pity the kids born into this unfortunate union with no prospects for their future.

Please, Mr. Opportunist, come home and start a new life but for heaven's sake when you are settled and established in Ghana, don't forget your marital and parental responsibility towards this Chinese woman and her children. Good luck, boy!!!

Why do you not take your time to read this beautiful food of thought, before castigating the writer, Mr. Too
Known M.M.H.
If I were to be you, I would have taken my time to read this piece carefully and get the understanding before uttering any gibberish. Your
comment even exposes you as ignorant and naive . The article serves as a
deterrent to many of our youth whose main objective is to seek greener pasture outside the borders of GHANA. That is a warning to all of us. It is as simply as that.
Lastly, but not the least. Your writing is full of errors of concord. Next time make sure proof read English before you post it, ok? Wish you the best.

I sympathise with the experience of this young man, but I do believe that the experience does not only apply to africans in china, but everywhere in the world. Like some the commentators expressed, it is always wise to get proper information about the regulations and laws on migrants. Where there are less recognition of any group people, it makes sense to organise as a group, seek legal and social support and advice, make very necessary demands for changes. More important share experience with competent Ghanaians and Africans who have lived in the country for long. No one can ever do it alone. You can make changes if you organise yourself.

my friend, I have been here for 11 good years but nothing to prove.When we tell those at home it's been very horrible here in China, they never believe.But see how chinese flock into our country,taking our country for ride,mining on their own? The politicians must bear whatever punishment from God. The people refused to allow us to work, police jumping on you in class, little kids clling you monkey monkey,everywhere o pass people holding their noses,when you sit on a bus everyone stands away from you.. what kind of nonsense it is that our government will allow them into our country? Their government openly support racism against africans, go to hotel to sleep,as you black they tell you o space, marry and have baby, over 1000 years you will never be part of them.I am married and have baby of 3 years schooling here yet,my name is never in their household register,my passport is full of visas,,,thinking that marriage here will let you get the papers, rather not, once you marry a chinese girl, they convert whatever visa you have to L tourist visa meaning no work just stay at home and look after your family,, we petitioned to their authorities,they only said that is their law,nothing they can do about it...how much less or more we Africans cant do the same to them. even with the L tourist visa they give you to stay at home for the rest of your life, a full police officer is detailed to monitor your activities everyday and report to the office. regardless your wife or family,once they catch you working on L tourist visa, they deport you immediately. how can such people enter ghana and for what?

I don't really know what is fooling african leaders to allow the chinese in africa. I wish i have the chance to be a leader in Africa. when they get to ghana,they go their own way, but when we get here, we have to report to police every minutes and our activities are monitored. see our ghana? I blame the politicians. China is not a good place for blacks and it is very satanic in nature,they never give anything free of charge.
Once upon a time, i applied fr driver's license here. I submitted all the necessary documents they need at the perils of my life. after 6 months of submission i was getting ready to go take the written test, The school called and told me the driver's license law has changed,so i should come and pack my documents and go away. I battled it hard but at the end, i was the loser. documents i submitted half a year ago, the law just changed on 1st September 2009, they called me to withdraw my documents... you see the country? when we tell you back at home, you never believe

That is why those in Ghana who call themselves socialists and communists will not want to live in China or North Korea. The fact is the Chinese do not trust and respect Africans. Yet our governments and people in high places, for some peanuts, give those stinking Chinese benefits Ghanaians do not even get. They come to Ghana and disrespect us while our leaders and some of our chiefs look on sheepishly and defend them. I am glad Kotoka and Afrifa ensured that the Chinese intelligentsia that Nkrumah had surrounded himself with were all rounded up with their documents and deported. They would have turned Ghana into a communist state. I just can't stand them.

Cave men (if they still exist) and the most intellectually bankrupt knows communist China is the most repressive states to ever live in even for their own citizens, let alone the Black man. I totally empathize with the writer. I will advise you to come home (Ghana)with your family then try to come to North America, when things get better. it's not perfect here but TRUST me life is incredibly better in so many ways. I sincerely feel guilty for our brothers in some European countries and Asia especially when I look at the number of Africans/blacks who live in mansions and occupy huge positions in the country I live in. Please understand you are in our thoughts. As for our African leaders, the least said, the better. They are the laughing stock of the international community.What can one expect from a bunch of dictators and coup plotters? DO you know China built the current headquarters of the iconic African Union building? Yet behind the scenes the Chinese call us (including the African leaders) monkeys.. hmmmm.

Black people are hated and disliked everywhere in this world. Yes Chinese people are uncivilized and prefer to employ whites than blacks. I had only 150 dollars when I reached China but I can say I am better now.I am now able to send 5 containers worth of goods home to sell.It's only foolish Ghanaians that are chasing Chinese for jobs when any business you do can bring money. I am not saying this to blow my trumpet. Ghanaians lack the intelligence to sacrifice and start a business. They will always prefer being treated as rags. There are many Ghanaians and Nigerians building mansions and controlling big businesses while living in China.While Nigerians and Cameroonians are creating businesses, Ghanaians are moving around looking for teaching jobs.No wonder Nigerians think Ghanians have low intelligence.I send money from China to my brothers and friends in Europe often for them to survive. If you live in China and you cannot use your brain to succeed in this booming economy, blame your stupidity,don't blame Chinese people.You hold the key to your existence. No matter the racism you face in China,being a foreigner makes you a star and breaking through is easier than any country in this world.If you come to China with JSS certificate,don't dream getting any job.

not just Chinese...Asians in general (Arabs, Indians, CHinese, etc) all hate blacks!! I live in London, and I experience racism from 9 asians for every 1 white. Forget about China being a lawless country, they are the 2nd richest country in the world. The sad truth is that blacks don't realize the full scale of how inferior the other races see us! Racism is going no where as long as we continue with our ways as Africans! If you always want to be seen as a beggar, then you'll always have to take the back seat! They don't respect us - period!

Man, I agree very much with you. What I don't understand is Ghanaian's see Chinese flooding into their country, the question is WHY? One see's somebody fleeing from somewhere and what does the person who see this do, he rather goes to direction from where the other is fleeing, for what reason? it doesn't make sense.Africans until they REALIZE the blessing God has given them on that wonderful continent, would be regarded as slaves and sub-human. The human zoo's of the 1700's did a good job to portray Africans as sub-human to make it right for the Europeans to exploit our resources. Yes, sub-human, otherwise it wasn't right for them to take our resources. The European,Arab,Chinese you name it,these will all see us as sub human until we prove to them by developing Africa by whatever means necessary, without the involvement of the west,east,white or yellow. We are independent and don't need no help from anywhere, we are able. Those in authority must be held accountable for their every action, so they don't see their position as a step-stone in acquiring wealth.

Where are your complaints taking you too. I was also in Malaysia in 2005 with the same hopes. When I noticed the racism (believe me, they are very racist too). I parked bag and baggage and returned home. Today, I have my own business here in Tamale. I have a wife and two kids and living happily. You can never find true happiness in another man's land. Come home and work as hard as you worked in China and see how far you will go. Why will you try to find all ways of making in China when the Chinese are flooding Ghana in search of a better life.

I wanted to be sure where "bbc" is telling the truth and I did a quick check and found out that you are blogging from China, meaning you are telling the truth. It is to do that. Don't be naive and don't do that again, if you really want to cover your ass, unless you want to use a proxy, but even then you could be traced. It takes less than a minute to know which city you are blogging from. And less than 30mins to know who you are.

i learn china is retaliating when ghana caught thier illegal chinese and deported them.
ghana foreign ministries should speak as they did when we deported those illegal minners home.
they are wicked,they are wild.stupid.
chinese always hold their noses when they see blacks,they get up in buses when sitting closer to you,they insult you hei ren meaning blacky.
it's time to show china that they are sub-human and not blacks.since when do they become proud when japan killed them and called them -dong ya binfu-meaning no use people.

I am in Asia and I know this is just a tip of the iceberg. Brother! Come home; there is no place like home. Ghana will still accept you even if you insulted her, because she is your motherland. Be proud to be an African no matter how (they say) archaic your culture is. That is your share when nature was distributing the benefits. Do not blame yourself. You think you are not making it but I wish that I have the mental resource you have. A philosophy goes: I am quoting correctly? "The greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." Remember African politician have been so because of the support of the very people they are ruling. You think they are the cause of our troubles because you are not in government. But you will also defend them when you become member of government. I am however sorry for your plight.

The story is a very true reflection or the reality on the ground in many parts of China.
I am blessed by God and have no problems in China, but the stories from my black brothers, especially Africans are horrifying.
There are so many teaching jobs, in fact, thousands of them in China, but they are all looking for white skins people.
I hope Africans would protest in our countries someday by way of boycotts of Chinese products to send a message to the Chinese here.
The worse thing is that, there are many Chinese if they are offered to you for free of charge, you would not accept let alone, say thanks, but they would mock and laugh at blacks.
Our leaders should stop the corruption back home and develop our country.

What he is saying is true, I have been there for 4 years and if I tell you what the chinese are doing to Africans you will be sorry. But one thing I know about Chinese people is that they are cheat and no human rights. If you ask those who has been in jail there before u will be shocked about what they r doing to blacks ...killing them for their students to learn and given the rest of the body to their wild animals at various zoo in that country. All what they know from president to kg kid is that Africans r not people to be respected or treated good. If you tell them you are from America or UK they treat you like a king, is not about the color but the continent Africa. I pray that they will come to their senses one day to open their peoples mind because the country itself is developed than the people in it from head to toe.

I need people with these experiences to come out and share with the general population so that others who are not aware that your home is the best home may know and understand so that with unity we will work together with great understanding that we are one people in one common boat, which at the end of the day will help us to be sound and progressive than China.

Having known this, we would now be motivated to come together and work for the progress of our own national development where there can be many possibilities that could help us to achieve good life. The Chinese studied very well and worked with single mind that they want to develop their nation, and that is what you saw. The next question is could ours be political hatred and foolish tribal bigotry that leads a nation nowhere?

Fellow citizens let us throw away this inherited political wind of sickness that had engulfed us and is unfortunately doing us no good, in terms of national development since it pushes us all into fighting each other; a mind set that benefits nobody in Ghana.

Most of the complaints you have about life in China also are made by the Chinese citizens. China is a repressive society where people have very little individual freedoms, where opportunities for self actualisation are limited, and where corruption is endemic. Why do you think the Chinese themselves leave China to come to Ghana, Nigeria, Britain, the US and everwhere else they can go to look for a better life?

Did you know anything about the quality of life in China before you decided to leave Ghana and go there? Have you not heard or read about the hordes of Chinese coming to Ghana to hustle before you decided to go there?

You just living in denial , Ghana is worse than any Country I have been in Africa In your sorry you said "I and my wife, my two kids enjoy nothing here .No social security benefits, no healthcare benefits, no right to apply for a mortgage housing system, no health insurance benefits for us, no right to apply for a green-card which I’m more than qualified to apply for".If you had all those access in your so call Ghana why did you leave that fresh air Country in the first place? Ghana is equally lawless less Country . I went to Court in Sekondi for not giving a police officer bribe and I was forced to pay an equivalent of €100 in 2003 although am a Ghanaian myself.

You are welcome back, Prodigal Son. A lesson to those who are still at the Chinese embassy seeking visas.

Charlie what courses are you teaching? if it's English, forget about it. Africans especially the Nigerians and Ghanaians have thick heavy accent in English language. The Chinese and other Asian countries prefer white man's accent even if he or she is dull and not smart.

If you have been to other countries besides china then you wouldn't be complaining. What about your two kids? Are you taking them home or you want to leave them behind, if there were so much for Ghana to offer then you wouldn't travel in the first place. I'm a student here in china and I study on a scholarship which there's no way I could get that in my own country Ghana. I also work onart time jobs which I make at least 5000rmb in a month but most of us will complain and say we want to make more money instead they will abandon their in order to make more money. The Americans didn't build their country on short cut neither did the Chinese so if you want them to respect you, hen earn it.

What he is saying is true, I have been there for 4 years and if I tell you what the chinese are doing to Africans you will be sorry. But one thing I know about Chinese people is that they are cheat and no human rights. If you ask those who has been in jail there before, u will be shocked about what they r doing to blacks ...killing them for their students to learn and given the rest of the body to their wild animals at various zoo in that country. All what they know from president to kg kid is that Africans r not people to be respected or treated good. If you tell them you are from America or UK they treat you like a king, is not about the color but the continent Africa. I pray that they will come to their senses one day to open their peoples mind because the country itself is developed than the people in it from head to toe. Man this is one secret in china, some are very good but those are the people who want to use u to get their money. If you know how to play ur cards well you can make it big there, I know a lot of guys making money each and everyday. some r doing business others are teaching which is the common job for all the foreigners who speak english, just get the right people to link with and also make sure you open up buz with ur wife or just a common training school, trust me u will be better off that way, Or you can make up your mind to save a little bit before you go home because I know no embassy will give you visa to their country if u r using Chinese marriage visa( L) which serve as a visitor but not a residence. I know you have big brains so just use it as we did to get out of that country. Don't think in ur life that you are married to or living with real human beings. I am sure you know what I am talking about, you know their brain is just like their weather changes at anytime. I remember my first day in china, the reception and intimidation I had, I said to myself this country will never be my destination and by Gods grace and determination I was able to leave there before the dooms day. Man use your brain. I used to tell my friends in china that in life your fastness is your saviour, If you think about their women man you will always be the same and will never live that country. God be with you all ........ I miss china papapapapapapapapapapa

You are alive and have another chnace so come home. China they work like slaves and it is their culture where in Ghana some people are very lazy sit on their bums and expect someone to some from overseas and give them money to live on. This is the mentality we face in Ghana right now. Where some nieces and nephews are constantly depending on handout . At the same time some are business like and fight for their own survival.

I agree with you. Chinese hate blacks. I experience it when I went for businesses there.
On a bus, I realised people didn't want to sit by me though there were empty seats. Many stood for 20 minutes whiles there are seats.
