“当你发展进步时，你的竞争对手不仅会嫉妒，还会给你设障碍，使绊子，所以你需要全神贯注，专注于目标，专注于愿景，并取得进一步发展。”尼日利亚前驻新加坡大使阿金雷米在回答有关“中国经济崩溃论”这一话题时告诉中新网记者。

“When you make progress, not just that your competitors get jealous, but they actually want to slow you down. So you need the presence of mind to focus on your goal, to focus on your vision, and to develop more on it,” said Bolaji Alade Akinremi, former Nigerian ambassador to Singapore.

The eighth Conference of Chinese and African Entrepreneurs was held in Beijing, capital of China, on Friday. Akinremi attended the conference and joined China News Network for an exclusive interview.

He said that China's economic prowess is well recognized and there's a lot that China can still give to the world.(Wu Xinru)
