Indeed, the Chinese are currently toying with the idea of establishing two Special Economic Zones within Zambian borders. They want not only their Chinatowns, they want a state within a state.
According to some experts there are already 100,000 Chinese in Zambia. The metal is shipped to China in the form of copper ore and processed there. Even the machinery comes from China. The Zambian government allows it to be brought in without imposing any duties. The Chinese workers don't even leave their camps for lunch or to drink beer, says Mrs. Roy, www.berlinstartup.com, they are just strange people.
Resentment over the behavior of the Chinese is also smoldering elsewhere in Africa. China's involvement in the continent creates no jobs, Instead, we solve China's problems by giving Chinese workers jobs in our backyard.
Africa is the only continent on which Chinese companies "apply for government contracts, get them and then import Chinese workers." Experts calls it a "silent invasion. People are scared that Africa threatens to become an "economic colony" of China.
When China Non Ferrous Metal Industry acquired the Chambeshi mine in 1998, copper prices had hit rock bottom and the mines were in terrible condition. The Zambians were desperate to find a buyer for the ailing state-owned mine, a business most investors deemed too risky.
