6 In contrast, the mining sector engages both Chinese SOEs and privately owned firms. In 2010, the two largest Chinese investments in Africa s mining sector involved both a SOE and a privately owned firm. The largest mining investment was a US$1.35bn deal by Chinalco, a Chinese SOE, in Guinea s iron ore mining industry. The second largest was a US$1.2bn investment by Bosai Minerals, a Chinese privately owned firm, in Ghana s Bauxite industry. Largest Chinese investment in Africa in 2010 Investor Value (US$bn) Sector/Subsector Country China State Construction Engineering 8 Energy/Oil Nigeria CNPC and Rongsheng Holding 2 Energy/Oil Egypt Chinalco 1.35 Metals/Iron Guinea Bosai Minerals 1.2 Metals/ Aluminum Ghana Sinohydro 0.8 Power/Hydro Cameroon Source: China Global Investment Tracker: 2011, Washington, DC: The Heritage Foundation, January 10, 2011, Chinese investment in Africa s resource sector is significant, but not a game-changer. The economic structure of many African economies is based on trading raw materials instead of manufactured goods. However, this is changing. Chinese investment in Africa is becoming increasingly diversified as Chinese businesses seek investment opportunities in large new markets. 5

9 The Chinese firms have broken the monopoly of Western telecom firms in Africa through competitive prices, better on the ground services and advanced technologies. However, Huawei and ZTE are also competing with each other in Africa. Consequently, Huawei has positioned itself as a low-cost yet high-quality telecom company. Huawei s pricing strategy is to price itself not more than 15% lower than major international competitors to avoid to be seen as another low-cost Chinese provider. ZTE, on the other hand, prices up to 40% below international competitors and its products are therefore perceived as being of inferior quality. Huawei s strategy has so far been the most successful. Despite increased competition from Indian and Brazilian telecom firms, Chinese enterprises are set to continue expanding their telecom businesses across the continent.

Chinese SOEs are mainly involved in resource extraction, infrastructure, and finance. The private enterprises include both large privately owned firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate across a wide-range of sectors. There are no exact figures on the total number of Chinese enterprises in Africa. Official Chinese estimates suggest that there are around 2,000 Chinese companies. However, this figure is likely to be underestimated as the vast majority of Chinese firms in Africa are privately owned and many are SMEs that are not officially registered. There are several reasons for why Chinese enterprises are increasingly investing in Africa. Many Chinese businesses are escaping fierce competition at home by seeking new commercial opportunities in Africa. Some Chinese corporations that have strong trade-links with Africa engage in greenfield investments by setting up factories on the continent to circumvent Africa s weak supply chains. Other Chinese companies invest in Africa as the first stop to test the waters in their overseas ventures. Since most Chinese firms strictly focus on new market opportunities, and not risks, they often invest in places that many other foreign firms would avoid. In general, Chinese companies have long-term strategies in Africa. Africa provides low labour costs, rich raw materials and huge market potential. 8

However, steps have also been made to attract other foreign as well as local investors to the zones. For instance, a new US$1bn fund for small and medium-sized African enterprises is directed towards helping African entrepreneurs set up businesses in the zones. Moreover, the Chinese developers of the Zambian zone have stated that they aim to attract forty Chinese companies and at least ten from other countries (including Zambia). Further, the SEZs require large investments in infrastructure, both within the zones and to connect them to ports and regional markets. China has so far invested US$250m in infrastructure construction of the SEZs. China s commercial strategy is to link the SEZs by building infrastructure corridors across scattered African markets. As a result, Africa will receive a much needed transnational infrastructure network that will reduce transport costs and benefit regional economic integration as well as African trade with the rest of the world. If the SEZs succeed in attracting foreign and local investment, and advance African countries industrial competitiveness, the zones have the potential to expand Africa s export capacity from raw materials to finished products. And this will turn Africa into the next manufacturing hub. 11
