The estimate for Africa of investment originating from China is 3.4 billion USD (pg 5). This is surely too low of an estimate but goes to show how wide apart are estimates of where ODI from China goes.Kainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-70408514298558123422015-07-14T21:13:21.842-04:002015-07-14T21:13:21.842-04:00The "anonymous" comment above was sent b...The "anonymous" comment above was sent by Jerry CHEN from the African Studies Center at Zhejiang Normal University.

The real number is US$100 billion which was introduced by Premier LI Keqiang when he delivered a speech at AU headquarters last May. Its Chinese version is 1000亿美元, which equals to US$100 billion. As Chinese investment stock in Africa is US$25 billion by 2014, the actual goal is to invest US$75 billion in the following 6 years. I think it is reasonable.<br /><br />You can watch full speech video at http://secure-web.cisco.com/1fJu6GWl0EZUOIh0Z28QqkBY8ly6Ixf6qxRE1VRyNj3TFSip8TXMTLFBWEQXqgtDSQUj5_QyBstbEXJ8FslqC1nml3bdcqt3T0124tA1v2_JE95s-aWSx1m0A9ZU4GZRoQw3kQB5d_zElrSKQPdY7rcJA_ov2Sam-M6lCaDPP_JDAyrMQLs6ouKkEmBJWGfBI6y_bOEoFrXssHdIyMwRJUWLjYI7D71TTEY70uIQ8UPI/http%3A%2F%2Fenglish.cntv.cn%2F2014%2F05%2F06%2FVIDE1399330321280142.shtml <br /><br />The former Chinese Special Representative to Africa and Ambassador LIU Guijin also explains how the goal will be met in a interview.
