I am a Black American, and I completely agree with the necessity of a name change for the beautiful continent of Africa. Secondly, China deals too much in Africa for the continent to still hold that name.

I'm really sick and tired of the way Chinese treat Africans,we let them live and stay freely in our continent peaceful but we can't do that,visa has become a big problem for us Africans,why have embassies in our countries yet living in yours is as hard as hell?this got chance

I strongly support the petition because africans are not ugly because we are equal like them and need to be respected.

Fu Zhou is apt for Africa. I feel so sad when people refer to me as "Fei Zhou ren"

the character非(fei) as in 非洲(feizhou) stands for a lot and none of the lot describes best the AFFRICA continent.

That name is really bad, it portrays and demeans we Africans ,and has contributed in many ways to our suffering especially in China.

The name has to simply be replaced. Optics matter and no excuse should be given this time.

It’s time for a change. Enough of colonialism and the propaganda mindset to justify it.
