China, Director General of Information in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Lu Shaye

By Omololu Ogunmade

The government of the Peoples Republic of China has warned its citizens living and doing business in Nigeria and other parts of Africa against ill-behaviour towards their employees, saying it will not condone any act capable of tarnishing China’s image and simultaneously hampering the good relations between the two countries.

Speaking during a session with African jourmalists who are currently on a visit to China, Director General of Information in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Lu Shaye, said the government was aware of the misdemeanours of some of its citizens towards their employees in Nigeria and other parts of Africa, insisting that “we oppose such actions.”

Shaye who was responding to questions by the delegation about the ill-behaviour of Chinese employees towards their employers in the country, explained that the government was currently devising ways of correcting such anomalies, adding that the government had warned its citizens in all parts of Africa to treat peoples of their host countries with respect, obey their rules and regulations and as well live in harmony with them.

According to Shaye who distanced China and the government from “such acts, such attitudes are totally isolated and doesn’t represent China’s attitude,” as he appealed to the African media to assist the government of China in exposing any negative acts of Chinese residents in their countries, emphasising that the media should report such acts in a way that the relations between Africa and the country will not be hampered.
Further, he noted that “improper acts of some Chinese will also affect the image of China in Africa. This deserves prompt attention. Chinese in African countries should behave themselves and promote Chinese culture,” he warned.

In the same vein, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has appealed to African journalists to give better coverage to events in China, regretting that much of what is known in Africa about China is done through the Western media.

While promising that the government will also ensure the coverage of Africa by Chinese media, the ministry pledged government assistance to African journalists who are willing to cover China or be resident in the country.

Can you imagine?It is more like home colonialist government warning her representatives abroad to see and treat africans as human beings,not as animals like they do treat them.

In the 21st century,in your own country,some chinco from far away land come to your country to maltreat you.That to me is colonization all over again.

China@it again

Africans have become slaves in their own continent. Who will i blame if not our corrupt leaders.

Haha, people should chill jor, the slavery has gradually started but in a more modern way...

lol!

God Help us

The chinkos in Nigeria no dey hear word! By the way isn't the same Nigerians that will encourage them through eye service, desperation to keep a job and low self esteem?

Lol...

China is not even so interested in the working conditions of her citizens in China, not to talk of some Nigerians in far away Africa.

Nigerians wake up!

India take note

Eyaa! Chinco dey complain...Nigerians pls stp maltreating chinese

a couple of months ago i was at a ccecc office in lagos.
while i waited to be attended to by an official i noticed a guy was yapping off on the phone.
moments later, i heard a loud bang.
i looked up and saw this same guy staring at pieces of a shattered phone on the ground.
apparently, the chinese guy who was attending to him took the phone off him and threw it against the wall.

Minion: Ur Painfulness! China has condemned the callous acts of her citizens.
Hades: There is a saying that comes to mind.
Minion: Enlighten me, My King!
Hades: It is bad when our leaders piss on us. It is worse when strangers join in the pissing.
Minion: My Lord! U amaze me

Ehen,Even if they warn Nigeria nkoh? What can wa do? Nothing!!! Nothing!! Afterall,we brought it upon ourselves. When the chinese were busy learning technology,what was our country doing? Na before all dis kain talk dey pain,but now i am used to it.. Since we dont want to move forward,then why wont we be commanded/controlled and colonised again.. If common Zimbabwe,Gambia and others can say rubbish to our face,then we should be grateful that the chinese are only warning us.. Abeg china,make una no seize Nigeria for we hand oh.. We will not repeat it again.. China please forgive us... Hahahaahaaa!!!!!

Bwahhahahaha

I can't blame them, that's high power...

They earned it!

well u cant blame them

Nobody can forcefully take away your self esteem,except you give it to them.

Chinese are behaving like this,cos no one to checkmate their excesses,and Nigerian too are guilt tOo.accepting all manner of working condition,all in the name of seeking daily bread.

You need to see the way one chinco man was beating to pop...can you imagine a chinco man calling you a black lazy monkey because you didnt get the job right, in your own country?damn if not for the intervention of the police, na bone 4 remain...i trust my hausa guys na.

Dont blame the chines blame the Government and the individual that chose to allow it to continue happen to them, if you are too coward/brainwashed and not man enough to kick or stone a racist chines who maltreat you in your own land truly you are an animal as the chines view you. Animal cant act in defence when is been oppress.

e remain indians

The title of this topic shows that english is not a perfectly built language. You can also understand the title as Nigerian citizens oppressing Chinese employees. To solve this problem the title should read: "China warns HER citizens in Nigeria against maltreating Nigerian employees"

Africans are sold for a price by their corrupt leaders to the world a long time ago, even they collected mirror, Chelsea gin, dagger knife e.t.c in the process of this trade longtime ago.

Hahaahahaahaaa!!!! It's so sad,but i have to laff... the abokis collected dagger,the deltans collected chelsea gin.. Who collected mirror?

Can you blame the Chinese?

A country like Nigeria only have Laws in the book but never practice it, it shows how our Government of CROOKS value NIGERIANS and Chinese could come into the country to establish a business that will leads to i'll treatment.....There's no Employment Laws and if there's Top people won't listen because of BRIBE.

This is where we are now, WE NEED TO SORT OURSELVES OUT FIRST before we can start complaining.

Come to UK and try that mess then you'll smell yourself when the Law clamp on you.

Nigeria I Hail thee.

It just shows the weakness of our government and systems
Where a foreign government has to warn their nationals not to maltreat the citizens of their host country.
It is just embarrassing.

Just lik a king without a kingdom or a child who rightfully supposed 2b d king bt som uncertain circumstances put him in a slavery conditn. If nt our hopeless situatn primarily engineered by our corrupt and unrepented leaders, wch foreigner talkless of pple (china) who produce inferior products would av had an upper hand on us? They received billions on contracts bt u can bare change slippers frm wat they pay u and stil on dat, u r handled lik a recalcitrance namma. I dont blame dem sha!

Anybody that can't do what the Chinese are doing should keep quiet. the Chinese government is warning its citizens not to get carried away, which is good. If you work with a Chinese man and you lazy, you'll have a problem. Same complain from all over Africa "Chinese are treating us bad" why won't they treat you bad?
