This labor shortage presents opportunities for Africans in China. Some entrepreneurs like Fabian see a window for African workers to fill the gap, especially by employing students in part-time jobs after classes. There are discussions about China possibly hiring more African labor, particularly if local Chinese workers continue to shy away from manual work. Moreover, some Chinese manufacturers are already establishing factories in Africa to benefit from lower logistics and labor costs, employing cheaper African workers willing to work for lower wages—around three to six thousand yuan—compared to Chinese workers.
