The China-Africa Development Fund seeks to raise US$2Billion in 2014

Ceres President David Nealis

The China-Africa Development Fund, China’s largest fund concentrated on African investments, is hoping to raise US$2 billion in 2014 to improve Africa’s agricultural and steel industries and boost Africa’s industrial development, according to Chinese State media. Fund President Chi Jianxin stated that China has been searching for alternative ways to invest in Africa rather than by only investing in infrastructure projects.

Ceres Junior Associate Demetrius Jones

Ceres Junior Associate Demetrius Jones stated; It comes as no surprise the rising superpower has explored other ways to diversify its interest and investment as China has been relentlessly criticized for lack of social and civic accountability in Africa. Developing healthcare systems, strengthening militaries and fostering educational exchange have all been targeted as primary areas China is reexamining its role in Africa for 2014 and beyond.

China to open high-speed rail line to North Korean border

Chinese state media has reported that China will open a high-speed rail line to the North Korean border which should be completed in the latter half of 2014. The high-speed rail line has been under construction since 2010,

it should boost regional growth because  roughly 80% of China- North Korean trade passes through the city of Dandong.

The completion of the high speed rail will reduce the time between the industrial city of Shenyang and the border city of Dandong from three and a half hours to just one hour.

Ceres Ltd Broker- Trade JaneYang who spent six years in Dandong, believes that the link will be a big boost to the Dandong economy and could help boost cross border trade – If North Korea permits it.

David Nealis Ceres President in Dandong

I believe this is a good sign that China will continue to develop its economic ties with North Korea, and adds fuel to my theory that within a hundred years North Korea will become a part of China.
