Ekot rapporterar idag om "Kinas ekonomiska erövring av Afrika". Industrial and Commercial bank of China köper 20 procent av sydafrikanska Standard Bank och blir därmed den största aktieägaren i Afrikas största bank. Köpet är värt drygt 35 miljarder kronor.
Jag har tidigare på denna blogg skrivit om lanseringen av The Chinese Investment Corp. (CIC) och dess investeringar i intressen utomlands, vilket innebär en utmaning för alla men i synnerhet för Afrika:
"In Africa, China's investment strategy has been directed mainly at sourcing natural resources, including oil. Moreover, increasing numbers of Chinese companies have recently established production bases to supply local markets with cheap products highly compatible with local demand and purchasing power. As a result, total trade between China and Africa nearly quadrupled in six years, from US$10.8 billion in 2000 to nearly US$40 billion in 2006. China is today Africa's biggest trading partner and the second most important investor. China's new investment company will further boost these trends."
