  • The Importance of Planning Your Exit Strategy as a Student in China
    Most students come to China thinking only about admission, visa and accommodation. Very few think about something even more important: what happens after I graduate? An exit strategy isn’t about leaving China tomorrow. It’s about being intentional about what happens after school: where you’ll go, what you’ll do, and how everything you’re doing now is preparing...

  • From Survival to Stability: How Africans Can Build a Sustainable Life in China
    Most Africans arrive in China and start off in survival mode. Finding a place to sleep. Figuring out visas. Taking whatever small job comes first. Trying to understand a system that moves faster than anything they’ve seen before. It’s a normal beginning — but it shouldn’t be a permanent lifestyle. The turning point comes when you shift from surviving day-to-day to...

  • The Real Cost of Moving to China: Expectations vs Reality for Africans Abroad
    China can open doors, but it doesn’t promise an easy path. A lot of people arrive with expectations of instant jobs and fast money. The truth is different, and the reality hits quickly if you don’t prepare. Expectation 1: “I’ll get a monthly job quickly.” Most foreigners discover that monthly jobs aren’t as common as they imagined. Only a small number...

  • Many Africans come to China hoping for a stable monthly job. The reality is different.
    Out of 100 people, maybe 5 get a proper role — and even that depends on passport, skills, experience and sometimes skin colour.

    But here’s the truth most people don’t hear early:

    China rewards people who open their minds, not just those looking for salary work.
    If you’re willing to learn, try small opportunities, build relationships and show up consistently, this place can transform your life.

    Whether you come as a student or a visitor, planning ahead is everything. Start testing ideas early, learn how the market works, and surround yourself with people who push themselves to grow.

    That’s one reason we built Hafrik — a platform helping Africans in China connect with real communities, events, businesses and opportunities.
    Because when you’re plugged into the right network, everything changes.

    If you stay open-minded, consistent and intentional, China won’t just be a place you live — it becomes a place you grow.

  • Starting a Business in China as a Foreigner: The Real Truth
    The Real Truth When many Africans think about coming to China, the first plan is usually simple: “Let me get a job and collect salary every month.” On paper it sounds easy, but in reality it is one of the hardest routes to survive here. Out of 100 people who come with a pure “salary job” mindset, maybe 5 will actually land a proper, stable job. Even those 5 don’t...

  • China Tightens Rules for Influencers

    China is rolling out new regulations that will reshape how influencers share content online.

    Only those with university degrees or verified professional training can now discuss specialized topics like medicine, finance, law, education, or health.

    The move is part of China’s wider effort to reduce misinformation and ensure that expert advice online comes from qualified professionals.

    Influencers who ignore the rules risk:
    • Account suspension or permanent closure
    • Fines up to ¥100,000 (~$14,000)

    Major platforms such as Douyin (TikTok China), Weibo, and Bilibili will now verify the credentials of creators before allowing professional-topic content.

    🎯 The goal: to make social media a space where credible information thrives and the public can trust what they see online.
