The China Cultural Counsellor at the Chinese embassy, and Director Chinese Cultural Centre, Abuja, Mr Li Xuda has said, sponsoring a 7 man/woman Nigerian artists delegation to China was meant to boost their experiences, stressing that such move will help improve Nigeria-China relations.

Mr Xuda made this revelation during an event at the Chinese Cultural Centre, Abuja, to welcome the delegation back to Nigeria. The occasion provided the seven member delegation the opportunity to share their experience in China.

According to Xuda, “China and Nigeria shares long history and culture.

Both countries have smooth diplomatic relationship for many years.

“In order to further strengthen our relations, we have to promote people to people cooperation, especially for local artists.”

Xuda said, the artists benefitted immensely from the trip because if affords them the opportunity to see the progress China has made in the last 40 years, since it opened up its economy.

“We arranged China tour for Nigerian artists, so that they see the real China, its culture and its people, to see everything China stands for, the progress it has made since its opened up reform policy about forty years ago,” Xuda said.

He revealed that the programme will be sustained because of its benefits. “This programme is going to continue every year. Last year, the China Cultural Centre here sent some Nigerians to another China city.

“Also, several years ago, we organised similar tour for Nigerian artist to a very big Chinese city, so that, when they comeback, they have new ideas and experiences.

“When Chinese people come here, they get to know Nigeria’s culture and Nigerians go to China, they know Chinese culture. Through this way, the relationship between the two countries will improve.

“Another thing is, from the perspective of arts. The level of artistic creativity will highly improve. The exchange is a lot of window through which they find lots of new things, Xuda explained.

China kwa. Those racists people

Interesting

China sponsoring/investing in what concerns Nigeria (Africa).

Not all of it are with good intentions.

All sponsorships/investments are for their National interest.

The rate at which the Chinese are growing here, don't be surprised if very soon, they start teaching standard Chinese language in schools.

China no dey do anything in vain oo...

International relations

Nigeria, a colony of China. .

China doesn’t go into any venture where they are not sure of making money.

It is all about national interest first, not for the admiration or respect for Nigerian artistes

What about the abnormal wages they pay foreign footballers??
Methinks they are just trying to spend money since theyve made excess. If they see any profit, all well and good. If not, nothing spoil.
Even Jeff Bezoz is looking for charity organisations to empower to prevent himself from getting richer lol.
Maybe making a lot of money without spending much is like standing on one leg.
China is trying to increase its import rate. There's a reason America is still the largest economy in the world. They are standing on both feet.
.

China empowering the useless shithole. spit.

Giant of Africa is getting back on her feet, after being raped and plundered by thieves and rogues.

I take exception to your comment, at best it is ignorant, and at worst stupid!

China is not a big brother to anyone, their activities in Africa (for example) indicates they are trying to trap African countries into loan debts so they can own and plunder the continent - The Chinese plundering of Africa will be crude and brutal compared to colonialists in ancient and recent times.

No Giant of Africa is back on its feet, Nigeria has squandered the foreign reserve left by Okonjo-Iweala's deal with the west. - The country now borrows (hard to pay back) loans from countries like China to pay salaries.

BTW "It is still being raped and plundered by thieves and rogues...including your Chinese friends!
