If you've registered a WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise), a joint venture, or a rep office in China, you already know the paperwork doesn't stop once you get your business license. In fact, for many African entrepreneurs and business owners we talk to in the Hafrik community, opening the actual bank account turns out to be the most frustrating part of setting up shop in China — more...
Heading to the Canton Fair this October? Join fellow African entrepreneurs, importers, and first-time buyers for an evening of practical, no-nonsense advice on surviving Guangzhou's trade fair season. This meetup brings together experienced traders, freight forwarders, and long-term Guangzhou residents to share real-world strategies for sourcing reliable suppliers, negotiating sample costs and MOQs, and spotting the red flags of common scams (fake trading companies, bait-and-switch quality, deposit fraud, and more). We'll break into small discussion groups by product category (electronics, textiles, home goods, machinery) for targeted Q&A, followed by open networking over drinks and light snacks. Bring your business cards, your questions, and any supplier contracts you'd like a second pair of eyes on. Whether this is your first Canton Fair or your fifteenth, you'll leave with a clearer game plan and a stronger network of contacts who've been where you are. Hosted in English and French, with Mandarin-speaking volunteers on hand to help with translation questions.
If you have ever stepped off the metro at Xiaobei station and walked up into the open air, you already know the feeling. The smell of grilled suya mixing with fresh bread from a Yemeni bakery, Lingala and Wolof and Arabic all bouncing off each other in the same five metres of pavement, a Nigerian aunty haggling over the price of stockfish while a Guinean trader counts out yuan for a bag of...
An afterwork drinks and networking mixer for Shenzhen's tech community — software engineers, data scientists/AI practitioners, IT and cybersecurity professionals, startup founders, and remote workers. It's a casual, recurring meetup (part of an ongoing 'Tech Mixer and Social' series run in multiple Chinese cities) aimed at helping tech workers in Shenzhen connect, swap job leads, and stay current on industry trends over drinks. For Hafrik members in Shenzhen's hardware/AI/data scene, it's a good low-key spot to meet other builders and engineers in the city, including fellow Africans working in tech there. Organizers ask attendees to look for the 'Tech Social' group at the venue, and also run a Discord/WhatsApp community for RSVPs and to see who else is attending. Note: this listing is based on a recurring Eventbrite series rather than a single confirmed one-off date — please check the official Eventbrite page for the exact next date/time before heading out, as the series runs on a rolling schedule across multiple dates.
Forget the tourist lists — this is where the community actually eats. Xiaobei (exit Line 5, look for the pedestrian overpass) is still the beating heart, an area where Africans can be found speaking Arabic, Bambara, French, Portuguese, Lingala, Malagasy, Yoruba or Igbo. For grilled fish and cheap suds, regulars head to Moustache Bar — a popular hangout amongst African expats and...
Everyone says "just import from China" like it's one click on Alibaba. It's not. I've watched too many people lose money because they skipped steps or trusted the wrong supplier. Here's how it actually works, no fluff.
Step one: know exactly what you want before you touch a sourcing site. Not "phone accessories," but the exact spec, material, size, and target price per unit. Vague requests get...
Let's kill the confusion once and for all: no, most Africans still can't waltz into China without a visa in 2026. Only two African countries made China's mutual visa exemption list — Mauritius and Seychelles are the only African countries listed among the roughly 30 nations that get 30-day visa-free entry on ordinary passports. That's it. Not Nigeria, not Ghana, not Kenya, not South...
CNBC caught up with Aleese Lightyear, an American who swapped NYC rent stress for Chengdu and now lives on about $30K a year. $278/month for her downtown apartment, student loans paid off, and she's still banking up to $1,000 a month toward a future Mexico beach house. If you've ever wondered why so many foreigners land in China and just... stay, her budget breakdown makes it obvious. Worth watching for the real numbers, not just vibes.
