The panel on “Understanding (and harnessing) Chinese investment interest” was co-hosted by DW and the Centre for African Studies at Peking University.
Chinese investment in Africa is increasingly having an impact, and investments in residential development are already demonstrating a track record of opportunity and experience. The session involved presentations by Chinese investors, setting out their experiences and expectations for the market.
