African Businesses in China: Meet Ghanaian Tech Entrepreneur Charles Cyril Nettey

by Eric Olander

Shanghai-based China-Africa watcher Heather Li published the second installment in her new video series that profiles young African entrepreneurs in China. In this episode, she introduces us to Charles Cyril Nettey from Ghana who founded the Africa Diaspora Innovation Group and runs an e-commerce start-up.

These interviews are casual, fun, and highly informative but more importantly they provide the kind of nuance to what it’s like for young Africans to live and work in China that’s often missing from traditional mainstream media coverage.
