Africa: China-Africa billboards · Global Voices
Ndesanjo Macha

Africabeat writes about China-Africa billboards, “At the Delhi Hibiscus meeting in December I remarked how the billboards – which featured photographs of pyramids, Kenyan safaris, and scantily-clad Africans – showed just how little the Chinese know about Africa.  Here, you can see some of them for yourselves.  Apparently one billboard features an “African native” who is actually, Jeremy Goldkorn tells us, from Papua New Guinea.  But he has brown skin so that counts, right?”
