ABSTRACT
The Chinese presence on the African continent takes a multiple of (interwoven) forms ranging from migration, development aid (including tariff exemptions and debt relief), trade, and investments (both state and privately driven). Hence, even though this chapter essentially seeks to unpack Chinese Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in Africa, it will also mention other aspects of Chinese involvement in the continent as the lines between the forms of intervention are blurred (McCormick, 2008).
