Abstract

Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has grown rapidly in recent years. Despite the paucity of evidenced research on its magnitude and character, a stream of general papers1 has noted its rapid growth and significance and has identified key policy challenges designed to enable SSA to maximize the potential gains and minimize the potential losses from this incoming FDI. A general theme in these various contributions has been with ‘the impact of China on Africa’, generally marching under the banner ‘Whilst China has a strategy for Africa, Africa lacks a strategy for China.’ But the problem with this formulation of the China challenge is that it assumes an homogenous ‘China’ and an homogenous ‘Africa’.
