L'article fait le compte rendu d'un colloque qui s'est tenu à Pékin et recense les clichés chinois, dont celui de la «  paresse afrcaine » :

A point discussed is the perception of some Chinese that African workers are lazy. This is premised on African employees working for eight hours daily as is internationally sanctioned while the Chinese are noted for longer work hours. This had been discussed at a previous session which concluded that if African workers are motivated like the Chinese or paid commensurate pay and overtime, they will put in more hours of work. In any case, the workers in the informal economy where over 85 percent Africans work, do not, like the Chinese, observe strict hours of work.
