Contractors, petty traders, investors, and entrepreneurs from China have been pouring into Uganda for the past decade. 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 the Uganda Investment Authority.

But according to Ugandan immigration officials, there’s one major downside: an increasing number of Chinese men are marrying Ugandan women to gain residency and continue their business interests in the country.

Officials told a parliamentary committee in late November that they are seeing more and more Chinese-Ugandan couples, often in sham unions. Couples are normally interviewed before spousal status is granted and Chinese men involved in sham marriages are deported.

But we have many who are marrying and even producing… Even our Ugandan women are accepting to [reproduce] with these men,”an official from Uganda’s directorate of citizenship and immigration control told the committee

Major infrastructure projects like Uganda’s Mandela National Stadium, a $1.7 billion hydropower dam in western Uganda, and the highway connecting Entebbe to Kampala have all been built by Chinese companies. Attracted by Uganda’s stability and demand for cheap goods, independent traders and business people are also opening factories and retail shopsselling imported Chinese goods. There are between 10,000 and 50,000 Chinese in the country, local Chinese expatriates estimate.

But now, tensions appear to be rising. Ugandan authorities are conducting more raids to catch foreigners living in the country illegally. In July, 12 Chinese were arrested for violating immigration laws.

Government-to-government relations have also come under strain. Last month, Ugandan lawmakers summoned a Chinese executive of the state-owned China Communication Construction to explain the circumstances of his company’s securing a $475 million contract to build an expressway in Entebbe.

Annoyed during the briefing, Zhong Weidong, managing director of the company, told the panel,China assists African countries to develop. If you don’t like, it can stop; we can stop.”

My lord it is like Africans repeat the same mistake all the damn time. :snoop:If any of y'all ever read "Destruction of black civilization," this is how lower Egypt got lighter. :snoop:Merchants from Canaan,Asia Minor,Mesopotamia,Persia settled in the black lands. Married the black women,created a mulatto class who admires his father's race and despise his mother's race. Soon the mullato class stay together and intermarry each other. Soon then later they become the dominant class and rule the black nation. Smmfh black folks repeat the same mistakes over and over again. In 100 years you will see blasians run the Ugandan govt. :martin:And they will say they aren't African but Chinese. :beli:

LOL

This is how the slave trade was so successful...Africans willingly accepting "assistance" from outsiders no matter the costs while outsiders marry and knock up the women...creating a class of middle men that maintain contact between the two continents...

And it ain't like Chinese people would accept it in the reverse...and I bet none of these men can take their wife and children back to China....

At least they're not completely oblivious as to what's going on in their country. The first step to solving a problem is recognizing that you in fact have a problem. Now all they have to do is devise and implement effective counter measures.
This is probably the only good news in this story
