Current Chinese OFDI,Forecast,Benefits and Challenges:The Case of Zambia

摘要

中国的崛起之于非洲是一个重要的经济伙伴，这仅追溯到90年代末。中国和非洲之间的经济活动已经在过去的10年中翻了一番。非洲与其传统的西方伙伴之间经济活动的下降与中非两方之间的经济活动的增长已经呈同步状态，其中一个原因是在金融危机的影响下，西方国家的经济仍处于恢复中。
　　作为一个中等收入、人口较少但资源丰富的国家，不说整个非洲国家，至少在非洲南部，赞比亚一直以来是中国对外直接投资的主要对象。虽然加上糟糕的内陆包围的地理位置、各种吸引发展基础设施的投资和相对较高的腐败程度，但是赞比亚的政治稳定和投资安全保证可以弥补这些缺点。本研究检视了中国对外直接投资的现状在赞比亚的好处和挑战。此外，本文预测了这项投资的未来面貌。
