投资非洲:中美之间不存在竞赛
美国和中国公司都会在非洲寻找对其有益的经济机会。在这条道路上,它们将建设基础设施并提供急需的工作,增加非洲政府的税收收入。但之后需要非洲人自己进行明智的投资,才能令整个社会受益,推动非洲国家在经济梯队中再上一个台阶。假如未来非洲国家能够重现二战后的亚洲经济奇迹,2014年美国或中国的投资规模影响很小。(财富中文网) 译者:早稻米 |
U.S. and Chinese firms are going to come to Africa to seek out economic opportunities that benefit themselves. Along the way, they will build infrastructure and provide much-needed jobs that will increase tax revenue for African governments. But from there it’s up to Africans themselves to invest that money wisely, in a way that will benefit their societies as a whole and enable African nations to move up the economic ladder. And if African countries are able to recreate the Asian miracle of the post-war years, the size of American or Chinese investments in 2014 will matter very little. |
