The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) just published a study titled "The Developmental Implications of Sino-African Economic and Political Relations: A Preliminary Assessment for the Case of Zambia" by George Schoneveld, Laura German, and Davison Gumbo.
The study concludes that China's investments have made a valuable contribution to Zambia's struggling economic recovery. It did identify concerns over conflicts between Chinese companies and their employees and Chinese environmental practices in remote parts of the country.
