The new Chinese foreign minister’s first foreign trip was to Angola, where he offered a package to build high-speed telecommunications infrastructure, which Huawei will most likely construct. The history of Chinese aid to Angola is rife with corrupting effects involving billions of dollars in diverted oil sector funds and implicating the highest levels of government.
Join Hudson Institute and International Republican Institute experts in welcoming award-winning Angolan investigative journalist Rafael Marques as he presents new information about the malign influence of Chinese aid. They will also discuss the broader impact of Chinese efforts to win allies and gain an economic advantage in Africa.
