The latest issue of The New Yorker has a piece, “The Promised Land,” by writer Evan Osnos “… which looks at the wave of African traders moving to China. The largest group has settled in the city of Guangzhou, where Chinese neighbors have named the community Qiao-ke-li Cheng—Chocolate City.”
You need a password to read the full article, but here is a link to a blog entry by Osnos and photo-essay by photographer David Hogsholt (with audio commentary by Osnos) on The New Yorker’s site (that’s a screen-grab above).
You can also download a podcast interview with Osnos.
