Being a Software Engineer while pursuing a degree in CST and AI in China is more than just a marathon of coding it’s a lesson in scale and speed. In this ecosystem, you learn quickly that code is only as powerful as the problem it solves.
My three core takeaways from this journey so far:
• Technical Rigor: Engineering is the foundation. Without clean architecture, AI is just noise.
• The AI Leverage: AI isn't just a subject; it’s the tool that allows a single developer to build with the impact of an entire department.
• The Founder’s Lens: As an entrepreneur, I’ve stopped asking "How do I build this?" and started asking "How does this create value?"
I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries where local innovation meets global tech. To my fellow builders: stay curious and keep shipping.

Which city in China do you think offers the best lifestyle for international students?

What we’re building with Hafrik is not just another social media platform.

It’s a living network for Africans everywhere.

Students landing in a new country trying to figure things out.
Entrepreneurs searching for suppliers and real opportunities.
Travelers who want trusted information from people who actually live there.
Communities that need faster updates than rumors and WhatsApp broadcasts.

Hafrik is where connection turns into opportunity.

A place where Africans across China, Europe, the US, and beyond can share knowledge, move information quickly, trade, collaborate, and grow together.

We’re not just building an app.
We’re building infrastructure for the African global community.

And this is only the beginning.

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.

Very important article for all Students

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.

Only students in China can understand this type of Army

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.
