What kind of jobs do Chinese people in Africa do?

The Chinese are bloody everywhere in the world, running small businesses and restaurants. But as the economy in China improves, perhaps they will be more tempted to return. It's tough to make bank running a fried chicken place in Santo Domingo, or a grocery store in Belize.
I don't think most people get that Chinese people don't just hang out running the same chicken store forever. It's all about multi-generational economic and social mobility. That same dude running a chicken stand probably scrimped and saved then sent his kids through college and now they are a couple class tiers higher. Now that old guy probably runs it in his spare time while he's investing his money elsewhere or owns a couple houses. This is quite unlike other immigrants who get involved in the underclass lifestyle and become thugs or have 10 kids living off welfare.
Chinese and Japanese in Peru and Brazil are a good example of how far NE work ethic goes in the latin developing world.
