CHINESE INVESTMENTS IN AFRICA China’s growing involvement in Africa has raised concern from western countries for the past decade. China claims to have distinguished itself from western countries with regard to its Africa policy by a great financial involvement based on “political equality and mutual trust‚ economic win-win cooperation‚ and cultural exchange”[1].

History of the Chinese economy Although this is not a historical essay we simply cannot understand the Chinese evolution without first taking a brief look at their history. Beginning with the fall of the Qing dynasty which lasted from 1644 to 1912‚ the country soon became embroiled in a civil war headed by warlords that emanated from the Qing dynasty and blighted most of the newly established Republic of China.
