Why do many South Africans immigrate to China?

Naspers made a fortune by investing in Tencent.

Truth one

Tencent's largest shareholder is a South African company.

Not everyone knows: Tencent's largest shareholder is a South African company.

Yes, 28.6% of Tencent's shares belong to a South African company named Naspers, which is the largest shareholder of Tencent, while Mr. Ma Hua Teng himself only owns 8.39% of Tencent's shares.

In other words, the South African company is the largest shareholder, while Ma is only a minority shareholder.

However, it should be pointed out that although this South African company is the largest shareholder of Tencent, it does not have the right to vote. Humanely speaking, this South African major shareholder has no decision-making power over Tencent's operation.

Naspers is a company founded in 19 16 by white Dutch in South Africa. This company is a media company, or rather a publishing company, which is also engaged in printing.

Many years ago, when Tencent was in financial trouble, the South African company invested in Tencent. As a result, it made a correct bet and later got a huge return.

Truth 2

Musk is a South African.

Speaking of South Africa, there is another interesting thing: Musk is also a South African.

Musk, who makes rockets and Tesla cars and threatens to send people to Mars, is actually a white South African.

Yes, you are right. Musk, a very popular American entrepreneur in recent years, is an American genius entrepreneur who makes rockets and cars: Elon Musk. This man is actually a South African.

The thing is this, and the result is this:

Musk was born in South Africa in 197 1 year. 1988, Musk 17 years old. In order to avoid military service in South Africa, he immigrated to Canada and later to the United States. Later, he became a famous entrepreneur and celebrity in America today.

Truth three

Is South Africa a black country?

Ok, so, is South Africa a black country today? South Africa, what kind of country is it and how big is it? How rich and poor?

The answer is this:

South Africa is a country with a population of 60 million, of which 8 1% are black, 8% are white, and the rest are Indians and other races.

In terms of land area and population, South Africa ranks 24th in the world.

In terms of rich and poor, South Africa's per capita GDP last year (2020) was more than 4,700 US dollars, ranking 99th in the world, probably in the middle.

In other words, from a global perspective, South Africa is a medium-sized country that is neither poor nor rich.

However, as far as Africa is concerned, South Africa is still relatively successful.

Truth four

South Africa was the first country to destroy nuclear weapons voluntarily.

Interestingly, although South Africa is an African country, South Africa has actually developed nuclear weapons!

To be precise, it has developed and once possessed nuclear weapons.

Yes, during the white rule, South Africa successfully developed nuclear weapons and became a nuclear-armed country. However, in 1990, then South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk was a white man. At that time, he thought that nuclear weapons had become a hot potato.

Why? Considering that the blacks in South Africa had been resisting the apartheid policy at that time, the president looked at the situation at that time and thought that the apartheid policy formulated by the whites in South Africa would not last long, and the state power in South Africa would soon return to the hands of the blacks.

Street shooting in South Africa

However, the president doesn't trust blacks. He believes that South Africa's nuclear weapons will be very dangerous if they fall into the hands of blacks. Therefore, in the year of 1990, the white president did a surprising thing: he ordered the destruction of the only seven nuclear bombs left in South Africa, and South Africa no longer possessed nuclear weapons.

In this way, South Africa became the first country in the world to voluntarily give up nuclear weapons.

In retrospect, this history makes people laugh and cry, and I don't know how to comment.

Truth five

Homo sapiens lived in South Africa for at least 654.38+700,000 years.

As we all know, Homo sapiens, the ancestor of modern humans, entered Chinese mainland about 70,000 years ago and evolved into China people today.

So, how many years did Homo sapiens, the ancestor of mankind, live in his hometown of South Africa?

According to the archaeological discoveries in South Africa that we know now, Homo sapiens lived in South Africa for at least 6.5438+0.7 million years before leaving Africa!

Among them, archaeologists excavated a huge ancient human site in a place called "Staercke Fontaine" about 50 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, and dug up a large number of ancient human skeleton fossils. This place is called "the cradle of mankind".

South African archaeologist Ke Fontaine excavated a large number of ancient human remains.

The human skeleton fossils excavated in this ancient human site named "Staercke Fontaine" account for one third of the total number of human fossils found in the world today.

In other words, the archaeological findings in South Africa are consistent with the conclusions drawn by anthropologists on the basis of DNA traceability, which mutually confirm that our human beings today originated in Africa.

Truth six

There are 136 AIDS patients in every 1000 black South Africans.

Equally ironic and surprising is:

In South Africa today, out of every 65,438+0,000 blacks, 65,438+0,36 are HIV-positive.

South Africa is also a country with poor public security. There are more than 20,000 murders in this country every year.

Therefore, South Africa is not safe. It is not recommended that you go there if it is not necessary.

Truth seven

Why is the Cape of Good Hope called Cape of Good Hope?

When we studied geography as children, we all knew that at the southernmost tip of the African continent, which is today's South Africa, there is a small cape called the Cape of Good Hope.

But you know what? Why is the Cape of Good Hope called Cape of Good Hope?

Actually, "Cape of Good Hope" means "Cape of Good Hope".

The thing is this, and the result is this:

The Cape of Good Hope, in the era of great navigation, has always been the only way for Europeans to detour into the Indian Ocean, and it is also a landmark of the coast. This place was once called "Storm Corner" because of the stormy weather and frequent shipwrecks.

Later, Portuguese King John II changed his name to "Cape of Good Hope" for good luck, which means "Cape of Good Hope" in English.

Truth eight

What is South Africa's apartheid policy?

Speaking of South Africa, we will naturally think of South Africa's "apartheid policy" in history.

So, what is the "apartheid policy"? How did it come from?

Here's the thing:

In this South Africa, 1948, the ruling party was a white party called "National Party". What about this white party in those years? They looked down on blacks, so they implemented the "apartheid" system after they came to power. What kind of apartheid is it?

Specifically, South African nationals at that time were divided into: whites, blacks, Indians and other colored people, who lived separately. Then, the rights of blacks are restricted, and some facilities such as benches, buses, hospitals, schools, etc. It is stipulated to distinguish between whites and blacks in public places.

Among them, as a native of South Africa, the rights of blacks are not only far inferior to those of whites, but also inferior to those of Indians and other colored people.

So, after a long time, the blacks in South Africa refused to accept it and rebelled. However, it was not without reason that the whites represented by the South African Nationalist Party pursued the policy of "apartheid" at that time, because from the perspective of South African whites at that time, blacks were really lazy, violent and disobedient, and the crime rate was high and difficult to control.

So, how to evaluate this matter? It's really a mess, is there wood?

Interestingly, the yellow people who immigrated to South Africa from Japan, China, Taiwan Province Province and South Korea were defined as "honorary whites" by the white rulers of South Africa. In other words, you yellow people are much better and more disciplined than black people. Although you are not white, we award you the title of "honorary whites", which can refer to the rights enjoyed by white people, that is, you can give preferential treatment to yellow people.

After the implementation of the "apartheid" policy, the white rulers in South Africa were accused, boycotted and protested by the whole world. But dramatically, during the "apartheid" policy, South Africa created a miracle of economic take-off, especially in the 1960- 1970 s, the economic growth rate of South Africa was equivalent to that of Japan at that time, and it was once

There is another interesting thing: many years later, Frederik Willem de Klerk, a white politician who pursued the "apartheid" policy by the South African Nationalist Party, apologized to the South African people and said:

"As the leader of the South African Nationalist Party, I apologize to millions of people who have suffered. These people have been humiliated by arrest and have been unfairly and humiliated by racial discrimination for decades. "

Former South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk apologized to the people.

Truth nine

What happened to Mandela?

So, what is the story of nelson mandela, the "father of South Africa" who opposed apartheid? We know this man, and he touched many people. For example, Ka Kui Wong wrote "Our Days" to praise Mandela.

In short, Mandela's story goes like this:

Mandela was originally a lawyer in South Africa. As a black native, he didn't like the apartheid policy formulated by the white people when they were in power, so Mandela took part in various political protests against the apartheid policy at that time.

At first, Mandela and his comrades-in-arms adopted non-violent and peaceful means, but in 1960, South African white police opened fire on blacks who opposed the apartheid policy, killing 69 people, which was known as the "Sharpeville Massacre" in history.

Since the Sharpeville massacre, Mandela and his revolutionary comrades decided to resort to violent confrontation, so they arranged for their comrades to take turns to create explosions in white administrative organs and other places. Because of these explosions, South African police arrested Mandela and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

Poor Mandela spent 27 years in prison. Because of his political correctness, Mandela was sympathized by the whole world. Therefore, the international community has been calling on the white authorities in South Africa to release Mandela. After many years, due to the increasingly severe domestic and international situation, the South African authorities were finally forced to release Mandela in 1990.

Mandela was 72 years old when he was released, but despite this, Mandela was elected president because of the will of the people. In 20 13, mandela died at the age of 95. The story of Mandela is simply like this.

The prison where Mandela spent his time.

Mandela became a world-famous great man for two main reasons:

One of the reasons: Mandela's struggle for the abolition of racial discrimination conforms to the mainstream values of the people of the world, is politically correct, conforms to the spirit of the times, and awakens people all over the world.

The second reason: Mandela has been in prison for 27 years. He is a sad figure and easily touches people's pity and sympathy. So many young people in the world will burst into tears when they mention Mandela.

The second reason (27 years in prison) is more important than the first reason (against racial discrimination) in the formation of Mandela's "great men are born for everyone". In other words, it was Mandela's miserable life that made him a great man after 27 years in prison. Is it worth it? Perhaps, people have different views.
