Downloads Dragons in Africa (PPT) Case Study Worksheet PDF | MSWORD China in Africa statements PDF | MSWORD Mining Images (PPT) Starter In recent years China has invested heavily in a number of different African countries and a number of different sectors. This starter activity will help you explore where Chinese investments are taking place in Africa and the different sectors they are investing in. Where are Chinese companies investing in Africa and what are they investing in? In groups choose one of the following websites to explore: To view Chinese investment in Africa since 2010 go to the Business Insider website:  HYPERLINK "http://www.businessinsider.com/map-chinese-investments-in-africa-2012-8" http://www.businessinsider.com/map-chinese-investments-in-africa-2012-8 Identify three African countries where investment has increased in metal. How does this compare to other investments from China in that country? Describe the pattern of Chinese investment in metals in Africa. To view how some of the Chinese investments have changed over time go to Heritage website:  HYPERLINK "http://www.heritage.org/research/projects/china-global-investment-tracker-interactive-map" http://www.heritage.org/research/projects/china-global-investment-tracker-interactive-map Use the Global Investment Tracker to explore the patterns of Chinese Investment in Africa. Name at least 5 countries where China has made investments related to metals. Describe the patterns of Chinese investment. Where are the largest investments for metals? What do you notice about the pattern of investment in metals? Why do you think Chinese companies are increasing investment, loans and trade relations with African countries? Main Activity The starter task provided an overview of some of the investment and trade relations that have been established between Africa and China. Next it is important to explore the situation in more detail in four case study countries. Download the Case Studies worksheet which includes a case study template for Angola, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia. In groups you need to find out information for each country to understand: Which natural resources are Chinese companies interested in? How important are these resources for different African countries? What evidence is there for Chinas investment in African countries? Describe any impacts of Chinas involvement in the natural resource sector in African countries, Key Websites you could use to find this information include: Go to China in Africa the Real Story website  HYPERLINK "http://www.chinaafricarealstory.com/" http://www.chinaafricarealstory.com/ Go to the China Africa Project website  HYPERLINK "http://www.chinaafricaproject.com/" http://www.chinaafricaproject.com/ Go to China Africa News website  HYPERLINK "http://chinaafricanews.com/" http://chinaafricanews.com/ Read Why has China built a ghost town in Africa article on the Daily Mail website  HYPERLINK "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168507/Footage-shows-brand-new-Angolan-city-designed-500-000-lying-empty.html" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168507/Footage-shows-brand-new-Angolan-city-designed-500-000-lying-empty.html Read Trying to Pull Together.

The next activity requires you to think about the positive and negative impacts of Chinese companies seeking natural resources in African countries. Download the China in Africa statements. Read through the statements about Chinese activity in the natural resource sector in African countries. Sort the statements into those two categories: those that indicate positive impact, and those that indicate negative impact. Once the statements are sorted into two categories arrange the statements in order of importance. Be prepared to justify why you think they should be arranged in this order. Plenary Reflect in groups about the impact of Chinese companies in mineral extraction in African countries. Share with the class the most important positive and negative impacts of Chinese activity in the natural resource sector in Africa. Identify one piece of evidence you found in the main activity to support your choice. Find out more: A useful blog to keep up-to-date with development of China in Africa.
