What Drives China’s Growing Role in Africa?
China’s fast-growing economic ties with Africa are attracting considerable attention. The relationship came into the spotlight during the summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing in November 2006 and the Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Shanghai in May 2007. While the expansion of trade and investment between Africa and China has been generally welcomed, concerns have been expressed about how China’s growing presence might affect African development.2 But what roles exactly has China played?
II.C. Other Debt-Creating Financial Flows: TRADE AND CAPITAL FLOWS BETWEEN CHINA AND AFRICA
Aside from intergovernmental loans, there are other debt-creating financial flows from China to Africa, mainly trade credits, some of which are medium- and long-term.13 Trade credit may be provided by suppliers or financial institutions. Of these the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim Bank) is the most active. Its total export credit and international guarantee business increased to US$19.8 billion in 2006, from US$15.2 billion in 2005. Though China Exim Bank does not report activities by region, there is clear evidence of significant and expanding operations in Africa.
III. B. State Financial Institutions: THE ROLE OF CHINA’S PUBLIC SECTOR
Among the large number of state-owned financial institutions, China Exim Bank and China Development Bank (CDB) are the two primary agencies implementing China’s new pledge to Africa; the former is responsible for the preferential credit component (US$5 billion) and the latter for the FDI support fund (US$5 billion).
IV. A. Private Traders: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
Mirroring its contributions to domestic economic activity, China’s private sector is in the forefront of the country’s external trade and investment expansion. However, its role in China-Africa economic relations has been much less appreciated, in part because there are no reliable data. Understanding China’s private enterprises (including those that are joint ventures and collectively owned) and their activities in Africa is important for assessing the evolution of trade and capital flows between China and Africa.

SHANGHAI - GATEWAY TO BUSINESS IN CHINA
With the sixth largest economy in the world, continued annual growth of nearly 10% and a 1.3 billion people strong population, Big Dragon China has developed a reputation as the “great new market”. A majority of multi-nationals are already in China while small to mid-size firms around the globe are rallying to get on board. Succeeding in China, however, is not without challenge and many companies fail. To be successful, a company must act intelligently. Intelligence means seeking expert advice, ensuring the opportunity is real and entering China through a developed regional market or “gateway” if you will. For most products and services, our gateway of choice is Shanghai.
Intellectual Property Rights - The Chinese Challenge
Doing business with China presents many opportunities but with that come many challenges too. Different attitudes towards knowledge and rules means that China is perhaps culturally opposed to the very notion of intellectual property. Chinese culture respects the knowledge itself and not the ownership of that knowledge and this culture has slowly developed over 5000 years. Moves are being made within China to address the issue of IP ownership, there are more courts, trials and prosecutions but Western organisations will still need to tread with caution regarding their IP rights when it comes to doing business in this exciting economy.
