China: Forty-six Chinese-owned companies registered in Guinea-Bissau
2016/06/11
The Company Formalisation Centre (CFE) of Guinea-Bissau from May 2011 to May 2016, registered 46 companies whose owners are from China or Guineans associated with citizens from that country.
Statistical data from the CFE to which Macauhub had access Thursday showed that the 46 companies are linked to agriculture, fisheries, catering, clothing sales, cosmetics and computer products, part others.
China is the company to set up the second-major all of companies in Guinea-Bissau in 2016, with six projects, surpassed only by India, which registered eleven companies, of a total 3,809 national, mixed and foreign companies that were registered.
CFE data as well showed that between 2013 and 2014 there were a large number of registrations of Chinese-owned companies, with a total of 22.
In 2015 just 10 Chinese-owned companies were registered in Guinea-Bissau, which shows that there has been a slight decline, accentuated further this year, at least in the initial five months.

China-Pak Economic Corridor: Why Gwadar Is An Overrated Port
2016/07/14 Having served in the Merchant Navy before joining the IAS, I can claim to have visited almost all the ports in the Persian Gulf, specially the oil terminals. At the height of Iran-Iraq conflict, we were picking up crude from Kharg, an Iranian island in the upper reaches of the Gulf, which is its major oil export point, just as Ras Tanura is for Saudi Arabia. So I claim an expertise in the area of analysing ports, specially from the point of view of logistics, and through my present calling, I can as well presently lay claim to considerate a bit of the strategic compass. -
Pakistan working on Gwadar-China oil pipeline

Guangzhou’s 16,000 Africans hit by effects of China slowdown on home continent
2016/07/04 With few customers at his wholesale jeans store in Guangzhou these days, Nigerian trader Brien Chuks busies himself looking next his three-month old baby. “Last year I sold 12 shipping containers of jeans back to west Africa but this year I haven’t managed to fill a single one,” says Mr Chuks, who operates from the Canaan market in China’s third-biggest city, like a lot of other Africa-focused exporters. “The Nigerian economy depends on oil so with the crude price having fallen so low, business is very hard.” In a sign of the circularity in the world economy, the Africa-focused traders who have long thrived in Guangzhou are suffering because of a commodities-driven slump in their home continent that from presently on originated in China. At the same time as rapid Chinese increase pumped up prices of oil and metals, resource-rich parts of Africa thrived, buying additional consumer goods from Guangzhou. Presently the opposite has happened. Sitting in the midst of China’s manufacturing heartland, Guangzhou has long been a centre for trade with Africa. -
