Annoying quibble about the author's carelessness: there's an article from the Economist that this sentence is linked to.
"Scholars who looked at Chinese investment in Africa from 1991 to 2010 found that Chinese assistance does not appear to help economic growth..."
However, the article linked is actually about Chinese government assistance in Pakistan (not Africa) and the impact on Pakistan's relationship with India -- not about Chinese private investment at all, nor about Africa.
