China's vast investment in Africa hits a snag in Congo via SABCNewsOnline

China’s investment strategy of throwing money at developing countries appears to have hit a snag in the Republic of Congo as the central African nation is seeking an International Monetary Fund bailout.

The IMF places conditions on its loans to force governments to take measures to boost their finances. It is only now that “Beijing is beginning to realise that problems can build up”, in particular after Venezuela defaulted. About one-third of the country’s debt is in Chinese hands, or about $2-billion, said the specialist in relations between China and Africa.

Investment...what are they investing? I need to read... The picture you use for illustration has nothing to do with Congo-Brazaville. This guy is Congo-Kinshasa Prime Minister Bruno Tshibala. Please try to be more precise on such thing as it's often misleading.

BUSINESS MAVERICK: China, South Africa and the middle-income trapChina and South Africa seem so distant and so different. Chinese economic growth has been fabulous; over the past decade, South Africa’s has been miserable. China is enormous; SA is small… and so on. But in one singular respect, China and South Africa are similar — they may be both caught in the middle-income trap. If there is such a thing.
