Ghanaian-based Chinese man called to the Bar
During an interview, the foreigner explained that he moved to Ghana at a young age and has an established business in Kumasi. According to him, he decided to pursue a legal career because he recognised that the knowledge could help him in his business endeavours in the country.
He reflected on his two years at the Ghana School of Law, describing the experience as challenging and immensely expressing gratitude for the support he received from his lecturers and the judges with whom he interned. He stated that their help made the difficult journey more manageable.
He said:
“It’s very challenging. And um, I get a lot of help from the lecturers and then the judges where I’m interning with. And without their help, I think it would have been a lot harder than it is. So I’m very grateful. Yeah, it’s been a long journey.”
The interviewer congratulated him warmly, noting that he would become one of the very few Chinese lawyers in Ghana.

YEN.com.gh would like to point out that Taiwan is not officially considered part of China by most of the world’s governments, though its political status is complex and heavily disputed.
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) claims Taiwan as a breakaway province, while Taiwan’s government, the Republic of China (ROC), asserts its own independent governance.
Beijing maintains that Taiwan is an “inseparable part” of its territory and operates under the “One China Principle,” which asserts there is only one sovereign China and that Taiwan is a part of it.

“Do you know what that is? His target clients would be Chinese galamseyers arrested by law enforcement. Lol. BTW, he is welcome. Our own Ghanaian lawyers and judges are doing worse in helping foreigners get away with crimes against the nation.”

“Can Ghanaians practise law in their country?”
