Capitalism and colonial approach reborn? Chinese economic involvement in Africa

Jaworski, Piotr Marek; Lu, Xiaoming; Gertsch, David

Abstract

Africa needs foreign investment for their economic development. Given the high risk of investing in Africa, it hampers many other potential investors from developed countries. Although China is considered as a developing country, it provides economic assistance to other developing economies. In line with increased Chinese investment to Africa, it has stimulated the debate that Chinese investment focuses more on expropriating colonised wealth and failed to provide same legal property.
