It’s a hard frontier for global investment and both China and the US wanna a stake. So far this year, President Obama has visited Ghana and Egypt. Secretary of State Clinton wrapped a 7-nation African tour. President Hu stopped in Mali, Senegal, Tanzania and Mauritius. Premier1 just attended China-Africa Forum2 in Egypt.

As the son of Kenyan, President Obama may have won African hearts. But China’s deep pockets have been winning over African governments.

“The US is already on the backfoot in Africa. The American public may not be terribly aware, but basically most of Africa thinks it's a great thing that China has come into the game.”

In the last year, China has struck deal after deal to build infrastructure3 in Africa in exchange for natural resources. Critics say China’s actions have propped4 up dictatorships in Sudan and Zimbabwe. But leaders indicate Africa will take money from anyone who’s giving.

“Foreign direct investment has no fix allegiance or nationality. It goes where it is most welcome. ”

China recently pledged 10 billion dollars in loans to Africa. China’s foreign direct investment in Africa is up almost 80% this year. Trade has multiplied 10 times this decade to 107 billion dollars.

Huge African communities have formed in China, filled with traders and entrepreneurs who want to realize the Chinese dream.

“There’s a huge number of students that come from Africa in scholarship funded by the Chinese government, and there’s a lot of businessmen that come from Africa buy goods and do trading.”

Aside from supporting increased agriculture investment, analysts5 say President Obama has yet to solidify6 his Africa strategy, but stress it’s not necessarily a competition but a chance for the US and China to cooperate and make vital changes on the developing continent.

“Clearly there is a great potential there. We should put the interests of the African people in the center of these considerations.”

But the vast opportunities in Africa are not without challenges. Poverty, corruption7 and instability are constantly changing the game. The question is how the US and China choose to play.
