Nkosana Moyo

Nkosana Moyo, former Vice President of the African Development Bank, and Stephen Chan, Professor at SOAS University, dive into the complex dynamics of Chinese investment in Africa. They discuss how China’s $23 billion investment has created both opportunities and challenges, emphasizing the need for informed negotiations and clearer regulations. Cultural missteps by Chinese firms and concerns over national security and autonomy are brought to light. The conversation ultimately advocates for African nations to take responsibility for their development and navigate foreign engagement mindfully.
