-Chinese wave of migrants to Africa began with Chinese workers on projects there who stayed afterward
-Many Chinese very happy to be away from Chinese corruption, communism--find less corruption in Africa
-China-Africa resource-for-infrastructure swaps
-Africa has more middle class people than India--predicts a huge expansion of wealth and the middle class in Africa
-Chinese immigration not a big issue for Africans generally except Zambia and maybe Ghana; Chinese have had a relatively smooth and friendly reception
