I am blessed to have had such a thorough and patient dissertation team leader. Secondly, I would like to thank Dr. Ralph S. Clem for a decade of advice, input and support, which has spanned two Master’s degrees and a Doctorate. One could not have asked for a better friend, mentor, and role model - and for this I am truly grateful. Doctor John Clark, Doctor Harry Gould and Doctor Jean Rahier provided valuable input during the proposal process, and expressed in no uncertain terms what was expected of me and what they felt was important to include within the analysis. While we did not have much interaction during the writing phase of the dissertation, their expectations were the guideposts for each aspect of this work. I would like to thank Dr. Charles MacDonald for his guidance during my Baccalaureate degree. At his suggestion, I began to do security analyses of different geopolitical theaters - and that interest and focus evolved to be the foundation for all of my graduate research. Dr. James Kilpatrick contributed to my education during my Master’s Degree in Asian Studies, and Dr. Rebecca Mae Salokar dispensed doses of brusque insight, whenever needed. Thank you both. I would also like to offer my appreciation to both Ambassador David Shinn and Dr. Evan Ellis - for taking the time to speak with me and for the kind words of iv encouragement. I used the analytical styles of both these academics as a framework in this dissertation. I feel that it is important to note Dr. Shlomi Dinar, who despite his workload, attended to my dissertation within a matter of days. His suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. I am especially grateful to Ms. Brandie D. Thomas of the University Graduate School for addressing all of my questions and concerns regarding formatting and other intricacies which no one else was able to address. She is indispensable. Thank you Brandie. I appreciate the assistance of the office staff who, for more than a decade, have been as supportive as the professors: Mrs. Kathleen Hasselbach, Michelle, Maria Wilkinson-Diaz, Martha Rodriguez, Maria Elena Gil and Ms. Mayte Rodriguez. Over the years I have been helped by some really great people working at the Office of Financial Aid and the Office of the Comptrollers. A special thanks goes out to Francisco Valines, Ida Pabon, and my friend Izhar Haq. Whether I was doing research abroad or here in the United States, the support of these people was essential for the completion of my degree. Thank you. v ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION CHINA’S INTEREST IN AFRICA: CONFLICT OR STABILITY? by Tristan di Montenegro Florida International University, 2017 Miami, Florida Professor Thomas A. Breslin, Major Professor China’s increase in economic and military force projection capability has grown substantially since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This rapid evolution, has in turn, triggered a rush for resources in Least Developed Countries, opened up new markets for Chinese-manufactured products, and has frequently been accompanied by an increased Chinese military presence in those nations in which it maintains an economic or industrial presence. China’s activites in Least Developed Countries, such as those in Africa, have had a direct impact on cultures, regional politics, economies, infrastructure creation, and the environment, yet the complexity of these dynamics has to date precluded an in-depth analysis of their effect on conflict and stability. In order to effectively guage China’s influence on the continent, localized studies of Chinese operations and activities in different locales were scrutinized. China’s Interest in Africa: Conflict or Stability? examines Chinese infrastructure and financing packages, Chinese-owned extractive and non- extractive industries, Chinese military and defense industrial enterprises, and finally, Chinese miltary activities on the continent. In order to provide for a vi balanced analysis, this work utilizes case studies from diverse locales, which include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Mozambique, Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Angola. While some argue that Chinese loans, infrastructure creation, and resource extraction operations contribute to development in Africa, there are ramifications, which have eluded the most erudite of academics. This analysis demonstrates that China’s primary concern in Africa is based on securing the food, fuel and resources necessary to sustain its economic growth, often, subtly to the detriment of the African host-countries, which it claims to assist through financing and development. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE Introduction ........................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1 - Chinese Infrastructure Financing and Development ........................ 18 The “Angola-mode” ............................................................................................. 19 Infrastructure Financing and Development in Angola ........................................ 25 Negative Aspects of Chinese Infrastructure Projects in Angola .......................... 31 Summary of Infrastructure Financing and Development in Angola ..................... 36 Infrastructure Financing and Development in Ethiopia ....................................... 39 Transportation Infrastructure Projects in Ethiopia ............................................... 42 Negative Aspects of Chinese Transportation Infrastructure Projects .................. 45 Hydroelectric Projects ......................................................................................... 49 Negative Aspects of Hydroelectric Projects in Ethiopia ...................................... 51 Telecommunications Projects ............................................................................. 56 Summary of Infrastructure Financing and Development in Ethiopia ................... 62 Infrastructure Financing and Development: Sudan and South Sudan ................ 67 Infrastructure Financing and Development in Sudan .......................................... 68 Infrastructure Financing and Development in South Sudan ............................... 70 Summary of Infrastructure Financing and Development in Sudan and South Sudan ................................................................................................ 73 Chapter 1 Summary ........................................................................................... 75 Negative Aspects of Infrastructure Development ............................................... 76 Negative Aspects of “Angola-mode” Financing................................................... 81 Chapter 2 - Extractive and Non-Extractive Industries: National Oil Companies and State-owned Enterprises .......................................................... 90 Extractive and Non-Extractive Industries: Petroleum, Mining and Timber .......... 90 National Oil Companies ...................................................................................... 95 Chinese NOC Activity in Sudan and South Sudan ............................................

  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

  • Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: the Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries
    Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: The Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries March 1995 OTA-BP-ISS-143 GPO stock #052-003-01408-4 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: The Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries, BP-ISS-143 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, March 1995). Foreword s part of its assessment of the potential for integrating the civil and military industrial bases, the Office of Technology Assessment con- sidered how the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Japan, two Asian states with sizable defense industries, have succeeded in Aachieving significant levels of civil-military integration (CMI). CMI involves the sharing of fixed costs by promoting the use of common technologies, processes, labor, equipment, material, and/or facilities. CMI can not only lower costs, but in some cases, it can also expedite the introduction of advanced commercial products and processes to the defense sector. The paper is divided into two sections, one on the PRC and one on Japan. Each section describes the structure and management of the respective defense industrial base and then compares it with its U.S. counterpart. The paper then assesses the degree to which lessons from the PRC and Japanese cases can be applied to the U.S. defense technology and industrial base (DTIB). Although the political and security situations of the PRC and Japan, as well as their CMI objectives, differ from those of the United States, several interest- ing observations can be made. The Japanese, for example, with a limited de- fense market and an American security guarantee, emphasize dual-use design as well as the commercial aspects of many defense developments.
