Do you remember the book: “Women are from Venus, Men are From Mars”? It described two very different communication styles. Sometimes I think Chinese and Africans are also speaking past each other. Take this recent headline story from the Herald, the state-controlled Zimbabwe paper: “Zimbabwe: China Envoy Meets President On Deals.” The reporter says that China dispatched a special envoy to update President Mugabe on “progress made in the implementation of mega-deals that were signed when the two leaders paid each other reciprocal State visits,” noting that “Beijing pledged to bankroll a number of infrastructural projects.”
