engineering projects (roads, bridges, schools, shopping centers, housing and office buildings,
water conservancy, and power plants). Since 2000 Chinese enterprises have been contracted
to build more than 6,000 kilometers of roads,
3,000 km railways, and 8 large- and mediumsized
power plants in Africa. Official
Chinese statistics show that the sum of
“contracted projects,” “labor cooperation,”
and “design consultation” in Africa increased
from US$4 billion in 2004 to US$6.3 billion
in 2005. In 2006 the turnover on contract
labor service went up to US$9.5 billion,
representing 31 percent of China’s offshore
contracted projects and exceeding the total in
1998–2002 (PBC and CBD, 2007; Yang,
2004).
Within trade in services, two-way traffic is
growing particularly fast in tourism. By
September 2006, 17 Africa countries had
become destinations for Chinese citizens and
tourist groups. Namibia, Botswana,
Madagascar, Lesotho, and Ghana had been
added to the list of tourist destinations by the
Chinese government only in the two
preceding years. The number of African
tourists to China has been accelerating
(Figure 7).
