China-Africa trade sets a new record. We’ll go behind the numbers of their growing economic partnership.
China has been Africa’s largest trading partner for 14 straight years and its fourth-biggest source of investment.
Bilateral trade reached a record $282 billion last year, in part due to higher commodity prices and Beijing’s push to promote imports from Africa. It is, by all accounts, a win-win for both. Which is why representatives from some 50 African countries and international organizations are gathering in Changsha, China for the third China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo.
Joining the discussion:
Abdullahi Boru Halakhe is an Africa Security and Policy Analyst.
Yan Liang focuses on international trade and finance as a Chair Professor at Willamette University.
Ken Gichinga is a Chief Economist at Mentoria Economics.
Einar Tangen is a Senior Fellow with the Taihe Institute and the Founder & Chair of Asia Narratives.
