Description:
A Best Business Book of 2017 -- The *Financial Times*
China is now the biggest foreign player in Africa.
It's Africa's largest trade partner, the largest infrastructure financier, and the fastest.
Considering Africa's difficult history of colonialism, one might suspect that China's activity there is another instance of a foreign power exploiting resources. But as author Irene Yuan Sun vividly shows in this remarkable book, it is really a story about resilient Chinese entrepreneurs building in Africa what they so recently learned to build in China.
The fact that China sees Africa not for its poverty but for its potential wealth is a striking departure from the attitude of the West, particularly that of the United States. Despite fifty years of Western aid programs, Africa still has more people living in extreme poverty than any other region in the world. Those who are serious about raising living standards across the continent know that another strategy is needed.
Chinese investment gives rise to a tantalizing possibility: that Africa can industrialize in the coming generation. With a manufacturing.
With fascinating and moving human stories along with incisive business and economic analysis, The Next Factory of the World will make you rethink both China's role in the world and Africa's future in the globalized economy.

Review
Advance Praise for The Next Factory of the World:
Deborah Brautigam, Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy and founding Director, China Africa Research Initiative, Johns Hopkins University's college of Advanced International Studies--
"Irene Sun's stunning new book on the rise of Chinese manufacturing in Africa takes us far from the superficial picture of Chinese investors as 'new colonialists.' Combining a journalist's pen and a business analyst's training, Sun grounds her astonishingly detailed portrait in extensive fieldwork and data, but most vividly in stories of the Chinese and African pioneers who just may be kick."
Aliko Dangote, Chairman and CEO, Dangote Group--
"I agree with Irene Yuan Sun that Africa is on a clear path to industrialization and becoming the next factory of the world. This well."

Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development, Harvard Kennedy college; author, Innovation and Its Enemies--
