The Center for Strategic and International Studies published in June 2022 a study titled "CCP Inc. in West Africa: How Chinese Party-State Actors Secured Critical Minerals in Guinea" by Briana Boland, Lauren Maranto, and Jude Blanchette.
This case study explores how Chinese diplomatic, regulatory, financial and commercial actors worked in concert to secure access to bauxite and iron ore in Guinea. Chinese diplomatic support and state financing provided conduits to help further favored projects and increase Chinese companies' access to Guinea's mining sector. The study also highlights the role of the Communist Party of China.
