...Relationship Between China And Africa Assignment Submitted For the International Management Module at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Business School Prepared By Ayankoya Kayode A Foli, Edem Mpongoshe, Lukhanyiso Hurrisunker, Sanisha Maqina, Chumani Introduction This assignment examines the strategic relationship between China and Africa. The first section provides statistics that reveal the extent of trade between China and Africa since 2000. The specific statistics center around the amount of natural resources exported to China and compares that to the amount of imports from China. After gaining insight into the extent of business between the two, one can begin to understand why Africa is so important to China. This importance is discussed in more detail against the backdrop of the historical background of these two regions. The following section explains the strategy that China has adapted to trade with Africa and introduces the concept of the “Chinese Model”. This model highlights the driving forces behind China’s strategic decisions and introduces some controversial arguments around some of the methods that China has adopted. An important part of this discussion is the comparison of China’s strategy with that of the West (i.e. regions like the United States of America (USA/US) and the European Union (EU). Some interesting statistics reveal that Africa is attracting significant amounts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and...

...La pobreza de África Elaborado por: Fernando Sánchez Esquivel La primera ministra de Mozambique, Luisa Días Diogo, dijo, “Ningún país está destinado a ser pobre. El mundo tiene los conocimientos, la tecnología y los medios para acabar con la pobreza. Lo que falta es la voluntad de actuar… No estamos pidiendo la caridad internacional, sino, mediante la asistencia y un sistema comercial mundial más honesto, pedimos sólo la oportunidad de ser socios iguales en un mundo próspero y justo”. Índice Introducción5 Pobreza en África6 Organismos Internacionales16 Cooperación de China26 Conclusión42 Referencias Bibliográficas44 Introducción El resultado directo de los efectos adversos del capitalismo en su fase de globalización, deriva en el empobrecimiento creciente que limita, e incluso detiene el progreso social y económico, paralizando el mismo desarrollo general de la sociedad. África constituye hoy, la unidad regional más pobre del Mundo, que se manifiesta con obviedad en todas las variables macroeconómicas, e indicadores. El muy deficiente desarrollo, desigual entre sus diferentes regiones y países, se constata tanto en su dimensión económica como en los parámetros de la sociedad y así mismo en la propia estructura política, en particular en una débil organización administrativa y articulación territorial de sus Estados, hipoteca en gran medida de su herencia colonial. China no puede ser considerada como un nuevo actor internacional, pero...
