The West has never been more interested in Africa than it is now. Americans, Europeans, Japanese, and Australians are just some of those who have received the message loud and clear: If China has bothered to invest so much time, money and energy in Africa, then there must be an opportunity there that's been overlooked by the West.
Relations between China and Africa will take center stage this week at the China Africa Business Summit in Cape Town.
More than 1000 delegates representing business and governments will gather at the Convention and Exhibition Center in South Africa's mother city on Oct. 22-23.
This is a significant milestone in economic relations between the Chinese government and Africa, which were cemented with the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing in 2000.
China is good for Africa
More business all around. Thats good!
China is creating opportunity
I know many people are worried about What China is doing in Africa. But for Africans China is creating opportunities. Maybe there is something for American Small Biz as well.
