Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
China has launched its first aircraft-engine manufacturer in an attempt to wean itself off Western suppliers.
The state-owned Aero-Engine Group of China was created by combining a group of existing aircraft-engine companies, according to local media reports.
It has about 50bn yuan ($7.5bn) in registered capital and will develop both military and commercial engines.
China already makes its own planes, but has struggled for decades to develop engines that meet global requirements.

1) Many of them are from an earlier diaspora (their ancestors left China and went to South East Asia and other places), or they are from Hong Kong (which was under the British, so their love and loyalty for the Communist regime is not quite as strong ;) ).
2) Many of them working as labourers in Africa (as per the OP) are prisoners, they have little choice: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2010/jul/29/china-export-convict-labour [theguardian.com]
3) Many of them if from China are from a different class - the urban ones: http://projectpartner.org/poverty/hukou-system-explained-chinas-internal-passport/ [projectpartner.org]

Perhaps it's time to choose a side.
Are Chinese all beholden to the party and all the Chinese living overseas a party plot to control the world. In which case Chinese all support the party and it cant be all bad.
Or the Chinese are leaving the party to start a better life some place else.
You can't keep trying to claim both...
