Abstract

African migration to China is a phenomenon that has invoked public attention and scholars’ heated discussions. This article reviews previous research on the impacts of African migration to Guangzhou, an international economic and cultural centre in south-eastern China in three different aspects: cultural, economic, and social influences. The African immigrants affect local culture in trade, religion, music, and life. In general, the arrival of Africans contributes to the diversity of culture, bringing new trends to the society such as hip-hop and Islam. The main economic impact is that Africans bring a new business pattern. They act mainly as middlemen who import goods from China and sell them to their own countries. It strengthens the economical connection between China and African countries. Regarding the social effect, current research mainly focused on Africans’ and local residents’ attitudes towards each other. The residents mainly hold welcoming attitudes although there are some negative comments. African clusters might result in bad public security and disharmony between races.
