Building roads between China and Ghana

It took Su Yuehua a while to figure it out, but he learned the secret to business success in West Africa, reports Xiao Lixin.

Two decades ago, Su Yuehua landed in the West African nation of Ghana to build from scratch the branch office of China Gansu International Corp for Economic and Technical Cooperation, a contracting company.

Su, now 50, has remained in Ghana since then, and has been recognized by Chinese and local authorities for turning that branch into a large, thriving and diversified company that is expanding to other parts of West Africa.
