A national and international economic sanctions and boycott campaign is being announced against Chinese businesses in America, and Africa, as a result of Africans living in China having faced recent vicious human rights violations and anti-Black racism in China and abroad and continuing complaints of disrespect by Chinese merchants in domestic U.S. Cities.

These demonstrations are designed to shut these businesses down and send a message to China that “Harm to Africans in China can bring Harm to Chinese in America, Africa, and worldwide.”

Organizations participating enforcing the street shutdowns are Black-Empowerment (BE); the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP); Original Black Panthers of Milwaukee (OBPP); Black Lawyers for Justice (BLFJ); Movement for Black Power (MBP); Nubians United For Defense (NUFD); Justice League United (JUL) in conjunction with local Pastors and community activists and over 30 community groups in various cities.

China is taking on vast infrastructure projects in Africa that leave weaker African governments and people held hostage to Chinese interests.
