Africa is the oldest continent in the world, with an area of about 30.2 million square kilometers, located in the eastern hemisphere. It is said that this is the origin of human beings. But now Africa and China's trade is more and more frequent, including China's Guangzhou, 200000 Africans came here "gold", a lot of people is to participate in the Canton fair in Guangzhou, China, looking for business opportunities, they by China's small appliances and small goods selling low prices to the continent to earn price difference, some Africans so rich.
Among many small commodities, Chinese mosquito nets are particularly popular among Africans, mainly because the African continent has many mosquitoes, and can spread a variety of diseases, such as dengue fever, dysentery, and AIDS disease. 80% of the world's dysentery comes from Africa. It is said that Africans have two ideals, one ideal is to have a Chinese bicycle, the other is to have a Chinese mosquito net is a dream thing for Africans.
China's mosquito net not only environmental protection and air dustproof, mosquito wind is the main characteristics of China, better than using mosquito-repellent incense, the key is not expensive, when we were young summer almost every family will use this product, is the essential goods, now the development level of Africa with China in the last century s, so the mosquito net is very attractive for them.
Now Chinese goods have been spread to the world through trade and come to Africa, but some Africans use Chinese mosquito nets for other purposes, thinking that they could benefit the local people, but almost made a big mistake. Local people actually use mosquito nets to catch small fish. Mainly China's mosquito net hole is very small, better than some fish net, Africans see the characteristics of China mosquito net, actually take it as a fishing net, under the African fishing, the local ecological environment was severely damaged, some waters are hard to see the fish, even some small fish were caught ashore, lead to the fish in the river is less and less, can say the local overfishing is very serious.
In the face of serious ecological and environmental problems, the local government also began to strictly restrict the fishing of mosquito nets. It can only be said that Africans are very strange and have great imagination. The mosquito nets originally used to stop mosquito bites are regarded as fishing nets, which almost caused a disaster.
