Top African Countries With Highest Chinese Population by MuhdGombi(m): 6:59am On Dec 09, 2021
Over the years, Africa has experienced a rapid growth in the number of Chinese immigrants into the continent. Most of the Chinese moving into Africa are doing this because of the economic opportunity available in Africa. When they first started arriving in Africa, majority of them came in as contract labourers. As time went in, they continued migrating, living and working in Africa. No one knows the accurate number of Chinese in Africa but are estimated to be about two million. They started settling in the late 90’s and early 20th century. Presently, there are still continuous migration to the continent to pursue various economic opportunities.

80% of Chinese in Africa are prisoners convicted of non-violent crimes. Due to overpopulation they are sent to 3rd world countries to serve out their sentences as unpaid labour.
Unfortunately in Africa, we treat them like expatriates. It's sad.

Over the years, Africa has experienced a rapid growth in the number of Chinese immigrants into the continent. Most of the Chinese moving into Africa are doing this because of the economic opportunity available in Africa. When they first started arriving in Africa, majority of them came in as contract labourers. As time went in, they continued migrating, living and working in Africa. No one knows the accurate number of Chinese in Africa but are estimated to be about two million. They started settling in the late 90’s and early 20th century. Presently, there are still continuous migration to the continent to pursue various economic opportunities.

TOP AFRICAN COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHEST CHINESE POPULATION.
1. GHANA: Ghana has the largest population of Chinese in the continent. Chinese people began migrating to Ghana since 1940’s and most of them came from Hong Kong. However, they began to migrate from mainland China in the 1980’s. There is no exact number of Chinese living in Ghana but are estimated to be about 700,000. This means that about 2.4% of those living in Ghana are Chinese. Ghana is currently hosting the highest population of Chinese in Africa as a whole.


2. SOUTH AFRICA: According to sources, there are about 400,000 Chinese currently working and living in South Africa. There have been different waves of migration of the Chinese people to South Africa over the years. They have established multi-lingual and multi-generational communities of Chinese in the country. South Africa currently has the second highest population of Chinese in the whole of Africa.

3. MADAGASCAR: The first Chinese migrant arrived in Madagascar in 1862. The man settled in the country and got married to a local woman. Four years after, six other Chinese came into the country, in 1872, three more arrived. In 1894, 14 other arrived and in 1896, 500 Chinese arrived in Madagascar. A year later, labourers were transported to Madagascar to work on a railway construction. The total number of Chinese living in the country as of 2011 was about 100,000. Today, the total number of Chinese in Madagascar forms the third highest in Africa.

4. ZAMBIA: The migration of Chinese into Zambia began in 1979 with the largest aid project in Zambia. It was the construction of Tazara railway in Zambia. The construction made thousands of Chinese workers migrating to the country. As of September 2014, it was reported that there were about 19,845 Chinese living in Zambia. The number has increased rapidly and as at 2019, it was reported that the population of Chinese living in Zambia is about 80,000.

5. UGANDA: In 2007, there were about 7,000 Chinese living in the country but it has increased rapidly as years move by. The total population today is estimated to be about 50,000. The major expansion began in 2005 after Chinese investors included restaurant and hotels. China is a top investor in the east African Country accounting for as much as half of total foreign investment between 2014 and 2015. According to Ugandan Immigrations, there is one major downside. An increasing number of Chinese men are marrying Ugandan women to gain residency and continue their business interest in the country. The increased trade and Chinese residency has caused a backlash. The influx of shop keepers from China has caused constanation among Ugandans who compete in retail.

6. KENYA: Chinese migrating to Kenya can be traced back to the 20th century. Back in 1996, there were just few Chinese in the country and there was just one Chinese restaurant in the country located in Nairobi. Now, Kenya has more than 40 Chinese restaurant which was opened by expatriate from China. The two popular line of business for Chinese living in Kenya are TCM clinics and restaurants. They also run import and export business in different items. They also have a Chinese community school in Kenya with about 20 teachers and 200 hundred students. They also have a population of about 50,000 which makes Kenya one of the top African countries with the highest Chinese Population.
