In recent years, South Africa has shifted the focus of foreign trade from developed countries to developing countries, and the economic and trade relations with emerging market countries have become more and more close. P Since 2003, more than 30 major Chinese mall cities have been built in major cities in South Africa. High quality and low price Chinese goods are favored by consumers in South Africa. What kind of development path has Chinese businessmen gone through in South Africa? What is the status quo of the operation of the Chinese mall in South Africa? What is the impact of China's mall on the local economy? With these questions, our reporter recently visited some of the South China's Mall cities. 
 clean shops, elaborately decorated glass windows, showcases of dazzling merchandise art. This is a scene seen by reporters at the newly opened east Asian mall in Johannesburg, South Africa. There are more than 110 storefronts in the mall with an area of about 28 thousand square meters, as well as supermarkets, post offices, banks and fitness centers. 
Zheng Feng, general manager of the Oriental Shopping Mall investment group in South Africa, told reporters: "this is the most beautiful one of several oriental shopping centers we have opened in South Africa in the past 10 years. It is also the first time that Chinese businessmen have driven the Chinese mall into the high-grade commercial district of Johannesburg, South Africa, Thornton, P". 
 since 2003, more than 30 major Chinese mall cities have been built in major cities in South Africa. This year alone, Johannesburg built the Chinese commercial city, such as the Oriental Shopping Mall, Jiangxi mall and boutique city. 
 "successful people carry their own little dreams in their hearts!" 
 in the early 90s of last century, stalls were set up; shops opened in the mid 90s of last century; after entering the new century, the mall was built. South African Chinese business model has been upgrading for more than 20 years. Li Xinzhu, chairman of China commercial and Trade City, told reporters: "the earliest wholesale business of Chinese businessmen was at home, and later it was warehousing. Now, China business city is working hard to provide services for providers, housing and logistics." Li Xinzhu pointed to the plan on the wall, "the winner has his little dream in mind." 
The dream of Xu Changbin, President of the African trade group, "P", is to continue to improve the management level of his 3 Chinese business cities, to guide and educate businessmen to abide by local laws and to do the Romans in Rome. Xu Changbin said that there are 450 business businesses in Africa, which can not find a parking space at the end of the week. But South Africa's China Mall must develop healthily in the long run. Zheng Feng has a shop called "Chinese style" in the Oriental Shopping Mall, which specializes in Chinese costume, Qipao, tea sets, lanterns and other Chinese cultural elements. She said that when he first arrived in South Africa, she served plates and stalls, but no matter how hard life and work were, the two cheongsam, which was hand crafted by the teacher of Shanghai, always tied up her dream. When she had some savings, she started the Qipao store. Later, she managed to run the Oriental mall, and the cheongsam shop stopped. Now that the mall of China has entered the upscale business district, she has never hesitated to reopen the shop and continue to spread the dream of Chinese culture. 
 "South Africans love Chinese products is unimaginable. Sandalwood fans buy 80 at a time, and 200 pieces of silk lipstick boxes at a time," Zheng Feng said. 
 "the opportunity for Chinese goods to live a prosperous life for low-income people" 
Tan Changhua, executive director of Oriental mall, said that after the establishment of the New South Africa, the Black Economy Revitalization Act was formulated, and the economic policy of the black people made a certain tilt to P. Blacks whose economic conditions have been improved will certainly have new demands on life. 
 in Jiangxi mall, the reporter met Toni, a software development engineer, who was buying curtain and bedding for his new home. He told reporters that Chinese commodities give low-income people a chance to live a prosperous life. South Africans love beauty and pay attention to their tastes. In the Eastern Shopping Mall of Vanessa, English teacher, specially, bought some big hole beads to give gifts to his mother and relatives. She said the big hole beads only sold 1 Rand, while the same beads sold to 3 to 4 Rand in the local shop. These big hole beads can be set on eating knives, forks and spoons, not only beautiful, but also can prevent grind hands. She told reporters that she would come to the Oriental mall Taobao at least once a month. 
 Muriel and his mother, who lived in Eden Ville, saw Ross's advertisement in the Oriental mall when they drove past. In a boutique, she selected a screen for magpie to branch, and the price was less than 550 rand (1 Rand about 0.622 yuan). Rose said that they had planned to buy screens for a long time, and had seen many stores and shops, but the price and goods could not satisfy them. This is a good luck. The style of the selection is very popular, and the price is also cheap, which can be placed at home for tea. She says she often goes to the mall near Chinatown, which is very professional, beautiful, clean and comfortable compared with the shopping mall there. She will come often later. 
 there are also customers from other countries in Africa shopping and wholesale in China Mall. A Nigeria customer was picking cheongsam. The reporter asked her why she was so interested in cheongsam. She said: "the cheongsam wearing Chinese charm is a fashion, because there are not many people wearing cheongsam in Africa. I wear them on the body and are particularly eye-catching among the crowd." 
Richard P, chairman of Johannesburg's crown district business alliance, said with gratitude that because of the existence of China's Mall, the land price in the crown area has risen from 210 Rand per square metre to 3000 Rand per square meter in the past 10 years. 
 "China Mall has given me excellent employment opportunities" 
 employment is a matter of great concern to all African governments. In the African commercial city, the reporters interviewed two shops randomly. 
 in a small store called "Sasa", Hou Xiaoxue from Northeast China and Ma Haixi of India origin South Africans say that only two of the 23 employees in the shop are Chinese and the rest are locals. 
 hiring local staff can not only save costs, but also understand the local people's consumption psychology. Li Xinzhu said that it is estimated that more than 30 Chinese mall stores in South Africa will create about 300 thousand jobs directly and indirectly. Edla, 27, came from the town of Smith, Kwazulu, natal, South Africa. She worked in a restaurant before shopping in the Oriental mall. Edla said that at that time every day until about 2 o'clock in the morning, not only did the traffic inconvenience, but the most important thing was that it was very unsafe at night. 
Rong Yansong, counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, told our correspondent that between 1 and July this year, bilateral trade between China and South Africa amounted to US $39 billion 910 million, an increase of 15.8% over the same period last year, of which China's imports from South Africa amounted to US $30 billion 197 million, an increase of 13.3% over the same period last year. China's exports to South Africa amounted to 9 billion 712 million US dollars, up 24% over the same period last year. P Rong Yansong believes that although China's exports of South Africa's daily light industrial products in the two countries' import and export trade share is not very large, its weight can not be ignored. 
 Rong Yansong believes that the main reasons for the rapid growth of trade between China and South Africa are: first, China and South Africa have established a comprehensive strategic partnership and strengthened political mutual trust. Leaders of the two countries attach great importance to the development of bilateral relations. Good political relations have promoted personnel and economic and trade contacts; second, in recent years, South Africa has shifted the focus of foreign trade from developed countries to developing countries, and closer economic and trade ties with emerging market countries, especially strengthening trade with BRICs. Third, China has great demand for energy resources in the process of economic development. South Africa's mineral products, basic metals and products, precious metals, diamond jewelry and other products account for about 90% of South Africa's total exports to China. Fourth, South Africa has implemented the economic revitalization plan to improve employment and improve people's livelihood, and has intensified infrastructure construction. The demand for machinery and equipment, electronic products, medical and spanport equipment, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile > /a > and chemical products has risen sharply. Chinese products, because of their reliable quality and price advantage, have become the main reasons for South Africa's large-scale import of Chinese goods.
