Our New Office is Coming up bit by bit.

Three years ago, we recorded this video and never posted it. The platform wasn't even called Hafrik yet. It was FLIC, a simple idea to build a community app for foreigners living in China 🇨🇳 In front of the camera, Rejoice and Success, two people who believed in the vision before the vision even had a name. Behind the camera, Andrew shooting it, Lolade holding things together, and myself figuring out what we were even building. We didn't post it because honestly, we were still becoming. The name changed. The vision grew. What started as "let's help foreigners in China connect" turned into something much bigger. We discovered that Africans specifically, whether trading from Lagos, studying in Guangzhou, or building a life in Yiwu, had no real infrastructure built for them. No trusted platform. No community backbone. No one on the ground solving their actual problems. So FLIC became Hafrik. And Hafrik became the operating system for Africans abroad. We're posting this now three years later not because it's perfect. But because every big thing starts somewhere small, uncertain, and unpolished. This was ours. To Rejoice, Success, Andrew, Lolade, and everyone who was in that room thank you for showing up before it made sense to. 🙏🏾 #Diaspora #Community

Sometimes the next big opportunity won’t come from your CV. It will come from conversations you haven’t had and rooms you haven’t entered. Success isn’t just about qualifications, it’s about access and positioning. #Hafrik #NetworkingMatters #AccessIsEverything #Opportunities #CareerGrowth #BusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurMindset

A lot of people are paying way more than they should for products and shipping. Not because prices are high, but because they don’t have the right access to suppliers. #Hafrik #BuyFromChina #ChinaSourcing

Starting a business in China

Living in a new country can quietly turn into a routine of work and home, class and home. Before you know it, months pass and you’ve met almost no one outside your small circle. If you’re in China, don’t let that happen. Opportunities here rarely show up through isolation. They come through conversations, shared meals, events, collaborations, introductions, and simply being visible. The people you meet today can open doors you didn’t even know existed tomorrow. Go out. Attend that meetup. Join that community. Start the conversation. Don’t just survive in China. Build something here. #LifeInChina #Networking #ForeignersInChina #BuildYourCircle #GrowthMindset #HafrikTv #podcast #Hafrik #horlaarsman

We are setting up in Guangzhou

What is it really like studying in China as an African student? 🇨🇳🌍 We spoke with students from Nigeria and Tanzania about their real experiences living and studying in China. From language barriers and culture shock to racial discrimination, freezing winters in Shenyang, and the opportunities that made them come here in the first place. Their stories are honest, real, and powerful. #Hafrik #HafrikTV #AfricanStudents #AfricansInChina #StudyAbroad #AfricanDiaspora #ChinaLife

Can Foreigners Use Alipay or WeChat Pay Without a Chinese Bank Account? We discuss whether foreigners can use Alipay or WeChat Pay without a Chinese bank account. The options presented are: A) No, only with a local bank account, B) Yes, with an international card limit, C) Only students can, and D) Only in Tier 1 cities. The discussion reveals that the answer is not straightforward, as the rules for Alipay and WeChat Pay differ. Ultimately, it is determined that option B is the closest to the correct answer. #Alipay #WeChat #ForeignersInChina #MobilePayments #HafrikTv #Hafrik #hafrikapp

We discuss the appropriate actions to take if we witness someone collapse in public, emphasizing the importance of calling emergency services immediately rather than filming for evidence or waiting for others to help. #HafrikTv #thecouchtalk #Hafrik #hafrikapp
