The Chinese are aiding African countries with finance and infrastructural development, investing in multibillion-dollar projects in roads and transport, schools, hospitals and stadia.As Africa's largest trading partner, the socio-economic benefits of the Chinese new found love with Africa looks enticing and welcomed.But there is growing concern for African leaders to beware of the inherent dangers of organized crime involving Chinese dissidents migrated into Africa as part of the investment package.In the past three months alone, the Chinese have been in the headlines for all the bad reasons across Africa.In Nigeria, 13 Chinese nationals were arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution in the country.Some of the Chinese nationals allegedly connive with some Nigerians to traffic teenage girls into the country under the pretext of offering them jobs in factories.Preliminary investigation by the Nigeria Immigration Service confirmed that most of the women were sponsored into the country by some "criminal human traffickers who are currently at large".Earlier, the Nigerian immigration officials had arrested 45 Chinese nationals for alleged illegal textile trading – the Chinese workers had been engaged in "lowly rated activities" that should be reserved for Nigerians and were "depriving them of job opportunities".In Kenya, there are agitations for Chinese citizens engaged in hawking business without valid work permits and documents to be arrested, prosecuted and deported.The local traders claim the Chinese hawkers are driving them out of business with cheap, substandard and subsidized goods.Similar concerns have been raised by traders in Ghana, leading to the establishment of a taskforce to flush out foreigners in the country’s retail business.Groups of Chinese nationals have also been arrested in a series of crackdowns for allegedly mining gold illegally – hundreds of the Chinese are reported to be engaged in illegal mining in the West African country.A special Chinese police force in Angola is working to extradite 37 suspected gangsters from Angola, who were arrested for alleged crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, extortion, human trafficking and forced prostitution.In South Africa and Zimbabwe, Chinese nationals have been arrested for diverse criminal offenses.An April 2010 Editorial titled “Chinese Organised Crime and Africa” by Dr. Gary K. Busch stated that: “Chinese organised criminal entities operate in virtually every African state, especially where there is a sea coast and a mining/extractive industry. The Chinese are not the exclusive organised criminal structures in Africa but they have some unique niche markets”.Indeed, the situation of the involvement of Chinese organised crime in Africa is becoming very serious and alarming.In an era where there have been arguments for powerhouses like the United States to yield gracefully to China's rise, can volatile Africa overcome the tide of Chinese crime?On America Foreign Policy, a Princeton Student Editorials on Global Politics reported that “while China’s relationship with the countries of Africa may strictly not qualify as that of a neocolonialist nature, there are critical problems in the way it deals with local populations that alienates them and generates resentment… It is ultimately in China’s own interest to review its involvement in Africa in order to sustain its economic growth and maintain its international credibility”.Africa is said to be the next big success to hit the world after been battered with slavery and colonialism. But leaders on the continent would need to have a critical thinking and fashion out policies that inure to the common good of the African.
