African Immigrants Are Leaving China As Economic Opportunities Shrink | AFKInsider

With 13.5 million people, Guangzhou, China, is one of the most populous metropolitan areas on Earth, and it’s thought to have Asia’s largest African population. Estimates of Africans living in the city range from 20,000 to as many as 200,000, which would represent almost 2 percent of residents. Most Africans live in an area less than four square miles in the central districts of Yuexiu and Baiyun known locally as “Chocolate City,” Al Jazeera reported. Formerly known as Canton, the coastal city has a large foreign population and was home at one point to up to 200,000 Africans, according to a 2014 report by the Guangzhou Development Research Institute. Chinese authorities dispute that number. http://diasporasnews.com/involving-international-diaspora-education-research-development-count
