Source: China Plus| Published: 2019-08-15

This 5-part documentary tells the human stories behind the rapidly changing trade, commerce, and investment climate between China and Africa. Though the stories, you can see how the “Made in China” label has evolved as Chinese companies develop products designed for Africans and made in Africa.  
Twice a year, tens of thousands of people from Africa and around the world descend on the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, an iconic 60-year-old trade show where just about everything is for sale. African and Chinese entrepreneurs sign deals at the fair that fill the thousands of shipping containers that leave China for Africa every day. The Canton Fair has also brought thousands of Africans to live in Guangzhou, where they have created a “Little Africa” community.
