China has called for further strong social-economic ties with Zambia.
The vast Asian country’s Communist Party leader Liu Qi has called for strong working relations between the two countries.
Mr. Qi said there was need for the Chinese people of continue coming to Zambia in future especially in the tourist capital, Livingstone in particular to promote the trade links that exists between the two nations.
He said this Sunday when he paid a courtesy call at Senior Chief Mukuni of Kazungula district at his private zoo.
Mr. Qi stressed the need for the two countries to continue working tirelessly in improving the welfare of their people.
And Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe in his welcoming remarks to the Communist Party leader and his delegation emphasized the need for the Chinese government to help market Zambia as a best destination for investment.
Earlier in the morning, the Communist leader and his delegation that were in a company of Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe, Livingstone Member of Parliament Sakwiba Sikota and other senior
government officials visited the Victoria falls for site viewing.
Mr. Qi who arrived in Livingstone last evening  left the country around 11:00 hours Sunday morning at Livingstone International Airport and was seen off by the Provincial Minister Daniel Munkombwe, area
Member of Parliament Sakwiba Sikota, Livingstone Mayor Grace shafiki and other senior government officials.

Mr Munkobwe why not just market the country ourselves, Why should some one from outside assist us in everything. We are so dependant on everything.
Good China on “China has called for further strong social-economic ties with Zambia.” Send your Chinese Students to come a learn social skills in Zambia since we will induct them with proper English.
What ties you mean Zambia to allow more laboureres in from China to do jobs that can be done by Zambians?
China at it again!!! Yangu tat mato,will they eva stop??
On another positve note we can turn this China thing around and use them to build us proper stuff but ONLY Zambians should be employed.
Oh I forgot, am just dreaming. The Chinese trust only their fellow chinese to cry out the job.

Someone(Kantubasula) asked if you where Zambain on another article?
Are you?
Am sure you write in chitonga don’t ya?
Give them an inch and they will take a mile, give them a mile and they will take the whole country.
I hope they don`t attempt to take over the Victoria falls.
HOW MANY TIES DO WE NEED FROM CHINA, ANYWAY? ISN’T ONE ENOUGH. OR DO THEY WANT GIVE US 10MILLION TO EQUAL THE POPULATION OF ZAMBIA? DO WE EVEN NEED THOSE TIES? ZAIREANSOR CONGOLESE PEOPLE NEEDED THEM AFTER MOBUTU DIED. IN HIS LIFE HE OUTLAWED THE WEARING OF TIES. WHEN HE DIED ZAIREANS WHERE FREE TO WEAR TIES AND ZAMBIANS MADE A KILLING AS THEY TRANSPORT CARGOS AND CARGOS OF TIES TO ZAIRE. IN SHORT ZAMBIA IS NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY OF TIES. WHAT IS IN SHORT SUPPLY ARE JOBS TO EARN MONEY TO BUY THEM AS EVEN THOSE TIES WILL COME WITH LABOUR FROM CHINA TO DISTRIBUTE THEM.

Ek gaan huise toe! Dankie.
What of these chicks from China under LT logo? Someone help. Chinese follow us everwhere. Ni chani?
Maestro @ 2, currently there are about 5 Chinese students at UNZA pursuing PhD in History.
I think Hu Jin Tao’s stronger ties with Zed is some what strange. I dont see how this Zed- Choncholi thing is helping Zambia. i think the Chiness are benefiting more than Zambians.
We’l soon here these chaps saying they want to promote Zed-Choncholi Inter mariage. These children wil be baring names such as Bwezani Lee, Ho Sikatana, Lim Mpombo, kunda fin, etc. ome on guys lets propose other names…. Careful pals
#9,peter,yu made me laugh man,good peace of writing.we’re surely tired of ties,they shud bring suits and designer shoes too,hahahahahahahahah,G/day
No need guys to debate the issue China is currently the best destination.we as zambia need to make full use of our ties and develop our country with the help of China.educated,progressive zambians know what that country is worth.Presently,Bush,Brown,Rudd-italy,germany,france,spain are all relaying on china.as zambia we need not just condemn china without alternative.Thank mr president for embrassing china
The problem with Zambia is that we wake up too late.The govt is doing a good thing to work with China.England USA and Australia is full of chinese more than the locals and life is sweet in those countries.so why no have them in Zambia.The best railway in zambia was built by the chinese.lets have these ties for along as is possible ,Govt of the day
maestro Hhehehehehehe, you are the man.you write objectively.please keep writing.let no man detract you.There are very few bloggers who keep to the topics.please i the man from Chinsali i beg you to stay on.we love your thought procees.
#20 You will not fit the suits that will come from China as they are made for short men. Stick with the ties: at least they are one size fits all
# 24 you are wrong, china is one of the countries which produces best suits of high quality and all sizes which are on high demand in the states and europe. here, if you have money you get quality products. nowdays, no country in the world can ignore china.
zambia can learn a lot from china, only that our govt is un teacheable.

# Bwalya only sadists will consider abusive language, racist or tribalist comments and general bad taste blogging as writing objectively. there are good bloggers here like Nine Chale, Baby C, Munkoyo, Nokia ericson to mention but a few. There are thousands of blogs on internet and people disagree without being abusive.
You can be funny, cheeky, silly but not abusive, racist or tribalist that is crossing the line. A word of caution you can be marked and watched for life in todays world, remember internet is not secure. I rest my case on this day the 2nd of No Hhahhehehe campaign.
#24 Then why do only get poor quality chinese goods here in zambia? Is it because the chocholis do not think highly of our low value kwacha or that we are desperate for anything foreign?
#23. Bwalya, thanks and I will continue in your advice.
#18. mossad-kgb, thanks for the information. This is more reason to make UNZA work well and on schedule so that we can attarct more foreign students to come and read in Zambia.
We can use the strong ties as fashion items around our necks and may be the aaaaachinese will choke us. But really how we use the strong ties depends on how we line up our priorities.
But first we should stop parroting Sata because because his motives are suspect (He supported the Taiwanese because they were funding his campaigns) Now he supports the Chines for the wrong reasons.
They are now aworld power and more so after the financial melt down in the west.Let us use the strong ties to power our own agenda. We should not be victims of the conspiracy theory syndrome.
#28 The quality of goods you get from China depends on what you choose and what you choose depends on what you can afford and what your market can absorb.
Please don’t be paranoid about China. And what is wrong about marrying Chinese. Many Zambians are married to Chinese from Singapore, Hong Kong.
By the way Tiger Woods has a Thai mother and black father. A relative of mine is married to a Chinese and we don’t call her Chocholi. We call her Bana Ho.
Guy the reality is and was if Rb wins more chineese there is nothing anyone can do but embrace the reality and work with if the only thing we can fight for is for government to be giving permanent residency and citizen ship within a short time frame say two year and when they become zambian they cant betray the country as Zambia does not allow dual citizenship. So just let them come in large numbers to stay infact they are hard working it will bring about competetion. The can do intermarriages and have colored chineese. I dont hink that a bad thing.Ok look at it this way the chineese women are pretty and caring.Then the chineese men can marry the zed women.come on guys.
