No ke aha i kaulana ai nā kaʻa uila 'Made in China' ma kēia ʻāina ʻApelika

Ma Ghana, he ʻāina ʻo ʻApelika Komohana me nā ʻōnaehana kaʻa nāwaliwali, nā alanui potholed a me nā kaʻa koʻikoʻi he poʻo poʻo no nā kamaʻāina o nā kūlanakauhale e like me Accra, ke kapikala. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka "mota" māmā a me ka wikiwiki, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Okada". Huki nā kaikunāne "moo" i nā kānaka, hāʻawi i nā waiwai, a hele ma kēlā me kēia kihi o ke kūlanakauhale a me nā kua'āina. I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kaʻa uila i hana ʻia e Kina e hui pū ana i kēia pūʻulu o ka pūʻali "kaʻa kaʻa", a lilo mālie i mea nani.

He keiki hānai ʻo Joseph Kolisho ʻo Ghana no Jumia, kahi hui e-commerce kūloko ma ʻApelika, a pono ʻo ia e hoʻokō i nā kauoha he nui ma lalo o ka lā wela i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻEono mahina i hala aku nei, ua hāʻawi ka hui iā ia i kahi kaʻa uila "made in China", i maʻalahi i kāna hana. "He liʻiliʻi loa kēia kaʻa uila, maʻalahi ke hoʻopiʻi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana ma mua o nā kaʻa wahie, ʻo ia kaʻu e aloha nui ai me Kina i hana ʻia!" ' wahi āna.

ʻO ke kaʻa uila e holo ana ʻo Colishaw i lawe ʻia mai e kahi hui o Ghana i kapa ʻia ʻo Sun Taxi. Mai ka mahina ʻo Kepakemapa 2019, ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hoʻolauna i nā kaʻa uila, nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā tricycles mai Kina, e lilo ana i "hui mua o nā mea ʻai pāpaʻi" ma ka mākeke kūloko o Ghana, kahi i hoʻokipa nui ʻia i ka ʻāina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Emmanuel Frimpong, he loea loea ma Sun Taxi, ʻo ka "kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa" o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaʻa uila i hana ʻia e Kina he mea koʻikoʻi no nā mea kūʻai aku. I loko o Accra i paʻa i ke kaʻa, pono nā kaʻa e haki pinepine, e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana wahie. No laila, no ka nui o nā mea kūʻai aku o Ghana me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokele waiwai, ʻo nā kaʻa uila he koho maikaʻi loa ia.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Frimpong ua manaʻo lākou e pili ana i ka hiki o nā kaʻa uila Kina ma ka mākeke ʻApelika, akā paʻa mau lākou i ka pae lima o ka hui ʻana a me ka nele o ke kālā a me nā lako. Manaʻo lākou e hui pū me nā ʻoihana Kina e ʻike i ka mīkini.

Wahi a ka ʻikepili aupuni i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2020, lawe mai ʻo Ghana ma kahi o 100,000 mau kaʻa mai nā ʻāina ʻē i kēlā me kēia makahiki, 90% o ia mau kaʻa hoʻohana. He mea hoʻoweliweli ka hopena o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke kaiapuni o ka ʻāina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ampongsa, ʻo ka puka ʻana mai o nā kaʻa uila "hana ʻia ma Kina" e like me nā koi kaiapuni o kēia manawa. "Ma ka pōʻaiapili o ka hoʻomehana honua, ke huli nei mākou i ko mākou mau maka i Kina, me ka manaʻo e hiki iā Kina ke hana i nā kaʻa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ikehu a me ke kaiapuni me ka ʻenehana holomua a lawe mai iā mākou i nā mea kupanaha."
