I'm happy I identified with this country early.
Jiayou China!

That's a lot of cash in imports. Can we also know the cash gotten through exports?

chukxie:


Did you say "substandard"? We get substandard Chinese made products in Nigeria for the most part because of the greediness of some importers from Nigeria. These greedy importers tell Chinese manufacturers Nigerians can not afford top quality products. I know this for a fact because I live in China. Stop blaming the Chinese for the fake and substandard products you find in Nigeria. Blame the greedy and heartless importers who go out to China to make them.

I could never have agreed better. You are absolutely right. We are the ones making orders for substandard materials/goods.

davodyguy:
If this is the case, why the so much pressure on dollars?

All that needs to happen to to use Chinese currency for these transactions, hence $1.6b is saved from being exchanged, thereby reducing the pressure on dollars.

Simple and straight forward

ahah its a myth, control system i n place, there are groups of individuals benefiting from the dollar blockade, they are ripping Nigerians apart.

davodyguy:


NB

More than 50% of items from China are substandard, second to Made in ABA.

U need real EDUCATION.

coolestchris2:
China should colonize Nigeria already...

At least they execute corrupt leaders immediately

I don't know who to blame whether its SON . But the standard of China imports is deplorable. Ordinary sewing thread that I bought the other day was so fragile and was cutting anyhow. Still the thread was not firmly bonded and was splitting into two.

And that is just thread. If I start with electronics we no go leave here today.

Yes, you are right but they would also take part of the blame. The Americans and Europeans will never manufacture substandard goods no matter what. It is because they are as greedy as Nigerians, that is why they can be persuaded to produce fake. Where is their values? Like Nigerians like Chinese joor

make them do high speed rail for us

China economy growing Nigeria economy dying. No job here but in China. Empty leaders of Nigeria wake up.

Kennitrust:
good question

The reality is the Chinese prefer Dollar to their own currency, Yuan. So if you need to import from them u will still be needing dollar.

ZUBY77:
China is the leading import destination of every damn country in the world.

Starting from your almighty USA to Togo.
You need to be on ground here in China to know what I am talking about.
Behind my office in Guangzhou China is a well known Plaza that houses shipping/cargo companies owned by People from Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Russia and every country in that region.
And they move large goods daily.

This is something I never saw in Europe in all my years there.
So yes, if you want to do business, turn your eyes east towards China, it's the World's largest business center and will remain so for another 100 years.

I hope you are enjoying the Chinese New Year celebrations. I order some goods from Shenzhen China but they can't be shipped till after the holiday on February 4th. Those Chinese really love holidays. I don't know of any country that has more holiday than China.

Bros i'd like to ask you some questions. I just completed my nysc recently,and ever since I've been home unemployed. I've been looking at this mini importation thing;I came across a Chinese website where I can get stuffs and sell here in nigeria. But I have some issues,we both know the naira/dollar rate is crazy,i'd like to know how feasible it is to send the naira currency to an agent in China and he exchanges it for the Chinese yen in order to get for me the things I need from that website,then he helps me ship it down here.
I know the naira/yen exchange ratio is impressive,i'd like you to educate me on how feasible it is to bypass the dollar when transacting a business in china,instead making use of the naira.

I always read your comments on Nairaland but I didn't know you are based in China. I don't shipped to Nigeria. I am based in the US and I source my goods from China and ship them to US to sell in America. What items do you deal on in China and do you ship to the US too?

America don't manufacture anything. Everything in America is made in China. Even the American iPhone is made in China, America flag is also made in China. Most America company have factories in China because it's cheaper to produce their goods in China. Anyway Trump is planning to stop America companies from producing their goods in China and Mexico. Also Chinese products are not really bad. It's our Nigeria importers who order inferior and cheap goods from China.

I understand. However, once upon a time, America and Europe were producing and they were not producing fake for anybody. The issue I'm pointing is that Chinese producers are as greedy as Nigerian importers otherwise they would have set thier standard and not compromise with Nigerian importers dubious requests. If I want to do bad and you help me achieve it, are we not partners in crime?

If you know of any other country with cheaper manufacturing, please tell me

yep there are more cheaper countries
Mexico, India,Turkey,Bangladesh,Vietnam,a, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Bolivia, Cambodia

these countries have loads of Chinese relocating there to set up plant,In not just talking for talking sake Im not a stranger to LCCS.
SO gone are those days, china is now a leading Nation no more an Emerging mkt, hence the shift but it is a good thing.The Chinese are getting richer, at least you are there you will agree with me on this one

There was this one time I wanted to buy some really good quality stone~wash jeans so I went to this plaza not fair from the Guangzhou train station where I found the very stuff I was looking for. When I inquired how much the jeans were sold for, the sales clerk told me they were expensive for black African buyers. Curiously, I asked her why she thought the jeans were expensive for me. She said black African business people prefer to cheap and bad quality stuff unlike Arab business people who prioritize good quality over everything else. This negative perception created by some black business people in China has given rise to a stereotype prevalent in China and Guangzhou in particular.
