Chinese government protected its local industriesfrom western companies before Chinese companies were able to establish their feet. Chinese has provided a footpath for African countries to follow.

I am sure, the corrupt Chinese are offering bribes and sex to our officialsto do whatever they want. Black African man just wants what he will eat and boast of today. He never thinks ahead of time.

If we allow Chinese to destroy our local business enterprises, then Ghana will be annexed by corrupt Chinese, who never respect black people.Let us do what is right for our country, but not what Chinese people will be satisfied.

Black African governments should learn from others. We are not equal with advanced countries in terms of development. They gone ahead of us. If there is a need to protect our local industries which can not compete with the same industries in advanced countries, we have to protect our local enterprises.

Blackman, learn!! Blackman, please learn lessons thatwill help your own people.

A nation lacking control. Some people are benefitting so anything goes. But God will help us and evil will never triumph over good.

We need taxes so anything must go. They must operate within the laws. But where are the law enforcers? Do we have them? We should pray they donot join any party. So you see corruption does not help anyone

These traders also import their things from China so I don't know what they're trying to say. If they feel they can't compete with the financial muscle of the Chinese, then they should form cooperative groups and partnerships to operate on larger scales. The Chinese are doing better simply because they're offering better options to Ghanaian buyers. This also means Ghanaian retailers can do better and should step up their game.

The chinese are everywhere and where ever they go thus what they do there even in europe , no govenment in Ghana can change this situation, because the agreement has being signed by the ghana government and the Chinese government is a free trade deal for the Chinese people and whT they do is ,they will take all the dollars back to their county without paying tax..so they don't normally put their money at the bank.. fraud is in Ghana and they like country that they can easily do business and with their fraud..the government of Ghana knows about this and can not do anything to stop..it it's a deal...

What do you expect when the man at the helm has no idea what is going on in this country!!
These criminal Chinese characters have boldly taken over the running of practically everything, including most local industries, the retail markets, the building industry, the mining industry the lot. Nothing so far seems to deter these Asian pests from encroaching on local business, therefore driving more unfortunate Ghanaian citizens out of work, whilst the corrupt NDC administrators sit on their fat backsides unconcerned. These criminal Chinese elements are not needed to flood the Ghanaian markets with junk materials that is not suitable for home consumption in their own native country - China, so why do our lazy administrators give in to them to begin another process of "yellow-peril" colonisation in Ghana? Ghana has no need for these criminal Chinese workers and so the quicker the lazy NDC government sees sense and deport them back to China the better this country would be!

For once the Ghanaian consumer is getting a break and what are these traders complaining about about.

I have no sympathy for the, none whatsoever!! Do you want to tell me what you import from china is less inferior than what the chinese bring to the Ghana market.

Instead of crying wolf, be real, start pulling your money together and fight the chinese on volume. or form partnership with them. Trade protectionism offers no advantage to anyone.

NDC does not care provided they can get their money.
Just vote them out in your numbers.

Poverty is the cause of all this. How on earth can foreigners..... Chinese, take over our "galamse" business. In nearby sister African countries, and in Eritrea state has about 70% shares in mining business. In Ghana our leaders are so greedy they encourage the Chinese for selfish gain. But we do tribal politics so even if SADA guinea fowls have flown over to Burkina, we the northerners will still vote for our man....eye zu eye za
