abstract |
Migration from China to Africa has intensified of late on the back of initiatives
by the Chinese government. Despite being a significant issue, there has been no systematic
attempt to assess the economic, social and political impacts of it. This paper begins
by setting out broad analytical dimensions covering the motivations to migrate and
wider processes of development. The paper then assesses available data on migration
trends, which are marked by speculation. Two further sections cover the policies of
China towards internationalisation and Africa and the economic and sociopolitical
dimensions, respectively. Economically, many large-scale Chinese firms operate in
key resource sectors, but for most Africans, the Chinese presence is marked by traders
in the markets. Socially, the Chinese have been welcomed in Africa although integration
has been limited. However, tensions have arisen in some countries and have been exploited
by African politicians. |
