China, Africa and Cultural Understanding

China Daily published on 15 March 2013 an interesting piece titled "Culture Key to Understanding" based on a discussion with Adams Bodomo, a native of Ghana and director of the African Studies Program at the University of Hong Kong.  Bodomo said there are nearly a half million Africans living in China and that better understanding of each others culture is the key to stronger Chinese-African relations.  He called for the establishment of more African cultural institutions in China such as China has done in Africa with Confucius Institutes.
