How Chinese traders displace local entrepreneurs

MAHALAPYE: It is now something akin to a norm that Chinese traders are a force to reckon with in the world of business who always keep governments on edge every time they invade their host country. The modus operandi of Chinese traders seems to be the same in all countries they set out to do business. They first work according to the laws and regulations of the host country. Then come the kickbacks.

Remember the saga of Chinese men in dark suits with brief cases laden with bank notes trying to buy the favour of a permanent secretary? This is followed by the purchase of the rented buildings, and then they are home and dry.
