China’s investments in Congo essentially take two forms, government loans and aid. Public works are executed by Chinese companies whose tendency is to import from China the raw materials and inputs necessary for the execution of the projects, plus most of the labour; skilled workers are mainly Chinese and the local workforce is made up of unskilled and often poorly remunerated workers.Text1 digital file (13 p. : ill.)enFOREIGN AIDFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN TRADEBALANCE OF TRADEECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSSOCIAL IMPLICATIONSCHINACONGOCase Study
