Africa 非洲 fēi zhōu. ugly continent in Chinese

Let’s make a change for a better relationship between us for a brighter tomorrow

I have ties with China and trying to raise a family here ... the disrespectful attitude need branding and I believe that Chinese people in government understand the value of mutual relationship with Africa and Africans ... those of us exposed to China will be in position to introduce China to our family and friends and government back home .

This is an insult

The name 非洲 is so horrible to think of, and I believe their mindset as a race is behind this name given to Africa in Chinese and should be changed.

Bad definition. I hate this. The country of the person that write this definition need to be thought good manners because the racial discrimination in the country is a top notch and it is acceptable

I agree to the petition

The name have to be changed . Friendship is reciprocal.

Thats very inhumane of them

This is history in the making....for the future generations.

In support of change of this ugly disgusting name and meaning behind it

飞州 or 富州

I also think the same. We need a good cooperation with respect from both sides.

We have to change this name

It’s not right to call Africa with 非洲, we respect China and other countries so we want people to respect us also. We are not poor and we are not bad people

I support

It’s about time the right thing is done

I agree with this argument. Like he say, we can not let someone give a name to our land agree with the fact that it's normal when we see the bad effects of his meaning. I do not accept this name because it's not reflect the truth of our values, stories and mindsets.

Change the name

We need to change

Africa is a beautiful continent.
