The Voice

Since the establishment of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China's Direct investment in Africa has the characteristics as follows: rapid development of investment scale, enriched investment fields and diversified investors. While the investment proportion in Africa of total China’s OFDI is still small and the investment mainly concentrates on certain Africa countries. Most importantly, in the process of China’s investment in Africa, investment risks are rising, many investment projects have suffered setbacks or failures. Chinese enterprises face with political risk, corruption risk, environmental risk and public opinion risk in process of direct investment in Africa. Therefore, enterprises should improve the ability to control and prevent the risk, investment strategy should be optimized according to local conditions, as well as fulfill the environmental responsibility and enhance the voice in Africa to improve the international image.

Key Nodes

With the promulgation of the “Going Global” strategy, Chinese enterprises’ outward forward direct investment (OFDI) moved towards a stage of rapid development. Based on the data concerning projects of Chinese enterprises, this paper establishes a network of OFDI host countries with the industry as the media and analyzes the network and its evolution characteristics by using the complex network method. Results show that the number of network nodes is increasing, and the edges between communities are greater, and the number of countries along the Belt and Road route is increasing. The network is a so-called small-world network. To reduce investment risks, it is necessary to identify the key nodes in the network. Based on the centrality of key nodes in complex networks, the improved “scatter degree” method is used to evaluate the importance of each host node. Results demonstrate that the United States and Australia are the most important countries for Chinese enterprises to invest overseas, followed by Brazil, Canada, Russia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom (UK). Excluding the UK, all other countries are resource-rich. Thus, it can be seen that the FDI of Chinese enterprises is mainly resource-based investment.

Currently, cloud computing technologies are becoming increasingly popular. The advantages of this technology are obvious: economy, speed, elasticity, versatility of access. In the future, their use will create a powerful information and telecommunications system, which will be a technological solution for the construction and development of new infrastructure in the country.

As explained in the foregoing chapter, once the relevant cash outflows and inflows associated with a foreign direct investment project are estimated so as to calculate the net cash flows, the desirability of the investment project should then be determined in terms of its economic profitability. Therefore, in this chapter the methods widely used in evaluating investment projects are discussed and their advantages as well as shortcomings are highlighted. Later in the chapter, evaluating foreign direct investment projects from the viewpoint of the parent company is elaborated in terms of profit and/or income transferred to the home country. The same investment evaluation techniques were applied to the net cash flows transferred to the home country of the parent company. The possible income and/or dividends to be remitted to the home country of a parent company are identified and discussed so as to reflect the viewpoints of investing parent companies when planning foreign direct investments. This two-level evaluation approach is generally followed in practice to make sure that direct investments are profitable at both host and home country levels, since an investment project that is not profitable at host country level would not be profitable at home country level either or a project that is profitable at host country level may not be profitable at home country level.
