In this study, I delve into the integration of the Chinese community and its sociocultural dynamics with Angolans in Luanda. Over the past two decades, how have the Chinese adapted to the social and cultural landscape of Angola? Have daily interactions evolved over time, considering the presence of at least three generations of Chinese residing in Luanda? Through a blend of interviews and informal conversations, my research meticulously examines these sociocultural intersections within two focal points: the Hoje Ya Henda shopping center in the Municipality of Cazenga, and Cidade da China in the Urban District of Kikuxi, within the Municipality of Viana. By scrutinizing interactions between Chinese and Angolan individuals in these locales, this study unveils the shifts that have transpired in recent years and identifies pivotal strategies to enhance communication between these communities.
