China and Africa: a new partnership This new poster features Maplecroft's China Integration Index (CII), a unique index of China's integration into the global economy.

The poster also features in-depth research on Chinese involvement in Africa, with a special focus on investment in natural resources. Country case studies describe the most notable instances of Chinese investment, making this a valuable as well as visually appealing reference document. The poster is designed to be printed at A2 size.
