Le Chine and Cameroon

It seems as if China has well and truly arrived in Cameroon. The reason being is to shore up resources for their own country and to supply an infrastructure in other countries which will guarantee a future business partner. To the shock and horror of Cameroonians the Chinese are even selling the national take-away sweet called 'beignet' in Douala. Beignets are small donuts that are typically sold by street vendors on every corner. The streets were packed with motorbikes called 'Nafang' which were manufactured in China. I heard the rumour that for the lack of women in China the Chinese are going elsewhere to procreate. Doesn't that sound like standard nationalistic tripe? At the same time, there aren't a lot of women in China, haha. The mobile phone business is also thriving, it appears that most cheap handsets are bought in Dubai.
