Obama-Xi Summit: Four Reasons Africa Deserves Attention at the Talks

June 7, 2013, Vera Songwe, Yun Sun and Julius Agbor

June 7, 2013, Eswar Prasad, Bloomberg

China has subtly but very, very slightly shifted to the defensive on some of these economic issues. They want to make sure they don’t get left out, and I think the U.S. has, again very subtly, tried to maneuver a little bit around China by building stronger relationships with other countries in the Asian region.

August 16, 2012, Eswar Prasad and Karim Foda

I believe China is becoming influential in Africa and the U.S. is becoming a bit concerned about it...One of our biggest problems is what you call the 'infrastructure deficit' and China is actually helping bridge the gap. China is doing a lot to narrow our infrastructure deficit.
