Abstract

The chapter focuses on Chinese investment in Africa and its general impact on African businesses and its specific implications for entrepreneurship in Africa. This chapter first provides a historical overview of China's economic development to explain why China has the ability to invest in Africa. Two types of investments from China are considered: the investment from the Chinese government and the investment from various Chinese firms. This study highlights which countries the investments targeted, the amount of capital, and the business areas the Chinese and investors emphasize. The final segment highlights both positive and negative implications of the investment activities for both China and Africa. In particular, this segment emphasizes the implications for entrepreneurship in Africa.
