Chinese envoy tips Batswana entrepreneurs

Speaking in a interview with Business Week, the envoy said that more than 1,000 Batswana went to China in 2008 and imported containers of clothing and electronic gadgets. "This is a new phenomenon, that was not there five years ago and I believe with the help of government, more and more local people will venture into this type of business and run the Chinese out of business," he said. 

He suggested that Chinese traders may have virtually taken over the clothing shops business at the expense of Batswana because of globalisation and the immaturity of the Batswana market.
