Can you suggest the best, most recent articles that give an overview of China's economic foreign policy in Africa?
Best answer: China's investment funds have made big investments in Angola, competing with the Brazilians (both Brazil and Angola are former Portuguese colonies.
Here is a Brazilian investment fund, which a friend runs, that has large investments in Angola.
It may help you do some research on the China angle.
This is also a good article.

Best answer: Prof Deborah Brautigam specialises in this (she wrote The Dragon's Gift: The Real Story of China in Africa); her site is here.
The Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University in South Africa also has a good set of research and publications available.

Just came across a link to this blog: Exporting China's Development to the World; their working papers include several relating to Africa and the links in the blogroll look like they might have more of interest.
