#ONLY IN AFRICA
Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked that china was a
dormant giant and that when it awakes; the whole world will tremble. Well it
turns out that those words were indeed not mere words uttered; but prophetic. With
the dawn of this prophecy; china has indeed awoken and the effect reverberates across
the world.
And now; after decades of tragically lopsided trade
imbalance with Africa; china has finally and cruelly got one major “export”
from the black continent-wait for it…yes; malaria!
After china flooding the African markets with cheap wares
and grabbing big tenders in Kenya and Africa
at large; china’s influence on the region is fast-rising.
Some have argued about the trade imbalance in the
involvement with the Chinese; saying they take away much more that they give. However;
it now emerges that actually china is actually “importing “some stuff from Kenya.
The east African state is among 30 African countries “exporting”
malaria to china and is now being blamed for threatening the Asian giant’s efforts
to eliminate the disease.
The Asiatic state’s ministry of Health says Chinese laborers
raveling back from African countries; including Kenya; are responsible for
malaria surge in regions that had most eliminated the disease.
