Introduction / History
The Chinese in Sudan are usually representing Chinese international corporations. They come and go, depending on how volatile the situation may be.
What Are Their Lives Like?
They are awaiting the fighting to die down, sometimes taking sides. They are making predatory loans to the Sudanese government in hopes of gaining control of key infrastructure like ports and transportation networks. This situation is likely to cause a backlash against ethnic Chinese in Sudan.
What Are Their Beliefs?
The Chinese in Sudan are mainly involved in traditional Chinese religion, which has its similarities to African religion. Both emphasize the worship of ancestral spirits. There is also a Christian minority that can be salt and light in Sudan given the right circumstances.
What Are Their Needs?
The Chinese need to put their hope and faith in Jesus Christ. As it stands, they are usually committed to material gain without considering the spiritual consequences.
