Johannesburg are an ideal platform for business people in South Africa and
throughout continental Africa to meet directly with manufacturers and find the
right products for their home markets.”
According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, in the first
months of 2012, trade between China and Africa grew 22% to US$80.5 billion and
