China Pledges $51 Billion investment in Africa - China Africa Summit 2024

China Pledges $51 Billion investment in Africa - China Africa Summit 2024 - As the world shifts its attention towards Africa, a major announcement from Beijing is making headlines. Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged a whopping $51 billion in new financing for Africa. But that's not all—China is also set to support 30 infrastructure projects across the continent and create at least 1 million jobs. What does this mean for Africa’s future? Could this be the dawn of a new era of development and cooperation, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
In a landmark address during the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit held in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping laid out an ambitious vision for the future of China-Africa relations. The commitment: $51 billion in new financing over the next three years. This amount includes $30 billion in credit lines, $11 billion in direct aid, and another $10 billion in investments from Chinese companies. This isn't just about money; it’s about China’s strategic push to strengthen its presence in Africa.
Xi’s address, delivered to delegates from over 50 African nations and the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, was filled with promises of deeper cooperation in key sectors. The Chinese leader emphasized enhancing market access for African exports, supporting 30 clean energy and infrastructure projects, and assisting Africa in achieving its nuclear energy goals. By pledging to help create at least 1 million jobs, Xi painted a picture of a shared future where China and Africa could work hand-in-hand toward modernization and industrialization.

China is a trustworthy partner and all Africans must welcome this opportunity

[markcarter]

The dawn of remodernisation in Africa. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

The REBUILDING of the walls and streets of Africa.

And with a young workforce the sky is the limit.

[JebbehWilliams]

Many African countries do not have engineers in their countries, black engineers are all abroad because there they can get a job. Africa needs engineers in all areas

[tonyjiang]

I’m glad Africa is getting out of the neocolonialism system like France’s

China great big powerful country. Very excellent step help Africa country. Most billion dollar aid China strengthen people co operations

[momwanafunziuumbaji]

"Strategic ties" was used in Xi's speech. While "strategic" can mean many things it's a VERY strong word in Geopolitics where EVERY word is carefully chosen. "Strategic" usual includes not only the money but China working with Africa, for example, to mitigate the importation of crime and terrorism by the west or anyone else who threatens China-Africa interests. China needs Africa. Africa needs China. And both agree to focus on dealing with threats to their mutual interests. That's what I got out of this and words like "pivotal", "strategic", etc. This won't stop racist, colonial schemes, but the subtle warnings are out there.

Africa will not be the same again after they kick out Western thiefs..hope Africa success and safe from Western sabotage.

The timing for China is paramount. US is fighting over who run the country and EU involved in Ukraine, India running around Asia looking for business from Brunei and Singapore, China take the cake with Africa without interruptions and distractions. As always the 51 Billions are meant for infarstructure to connect inter African nations and more port facilities, airports etc... plenty of jobs to go round for the unemployed.

Please tell me why do countries such as Kuwait 🇰🇼 have a sovereign wealth fund of $980BN and they sre a country of 3.1 million people, look at their history, foreign and economic policies those are the answers!

[BlaqNaira]

Africa is a continent
A country cannot help a continent dosent make no sense but ok west we hear you

[D-TRIL]

Africa always had economic power, who's not sharing economic ideas?

[lynwill]

OK. This sounds great. However what is Africa giving up to the Chinese?

I hope we have the best negotiators in Africa. How are the Africans benefiting from this?
We can’t continue to give away our beautiful land and resources to external groups.

[kingmaybus]

It's interesting because if you watch economists and politics and news. It's rather mainstream or not. They said China's economy is going bad. How are they promising all these other countries so much money?

[fentax]

china win win policy is good african devloloping

[Schminner]

49 billion of it will go into high-ranking officials of Africa... 2 billion of it will be lost

[MikeCanoSommer]

What a waste of money, - they dont have. 🙄
