The New York Times published on 23 May 2017 an article titled "Chinese Merchants Thrive in Senegal, Where People 'Needed Stuff'" by Andrew Jacobs.
The arrival of Chinese traders in Senegal has been a mixed blessing. The low-end merchandise they import sustains countless peddlers, many of whom fan out into the countryside and other countries in West Africa. Less pleased are the Senegalese traders who used to travel to China to buy the same goods but have been squeezed out.

Chinese Community in Mauritius Doing Well but Declining
The New African magazine published on 15 June 2015 an article titled "Meet Africa's Most Integrated Chinese Community" by James Wan, a Mauritian journalist.
The Chinese community in Mauritius is one of the oldest and more culturally integrated Chinese communities in Africa. It constitutes 2-3 percent of the 1.3 million people who live in Mauritius, but it is a dwindling community. Many younger Sino-Mauritians are studying overseas and then remaining there. The community has done well economically; 25 of the top 100 companies in Mauritius are owned by Sino-Mauritians but the older owners are concerned that the younger generation is not remaining to take over the business.
