Is China Changing Its Approach to African Markets? (in French)

Thierry Pairault, director of research emeritus at CNRS, posted on 29 December 2019 a paper titled "La COIDIC: signe d'une nouvelle strategie." It includes a translation from Chinese of a press release from the Ministry of Commerce on what could constitute an evolution in the approach to the African market by Chinese service providers. The pretext for this press release is the agreement reached in Guinea between the Administration of Control of Major Projects and Public Procurement and a Chinese investment fund, China Overseas Infrastructure Development and Investment Corporation (COIDIC).
