Jackie, Julie, and Shanny are among the thousands of Africans living in China. Like them, thousands of young women and men are heading to Canton to seek the opportunity to make a fortune, train, or start a business in China's globalised economy. Nike sneakers by the kilo, Vuitton bags in packages of 100, Gucci shirts by the pallet. Every day, these small or large investors, beginners or experienced, buy and ship tons of goods that pile up in containers bound for Douala, Lagos, or Mombasa.
