The Hardscrabble Business of Chinese Manufacturing in Africa

Irene Yuan Sun, a consultant at McKinsey, explains why so many
Chinese entrepreneurs are setting up factories in Africa. She
describes what it’s like inside these factories, who works there,
what they’re making—and how this emerging manufacturing sector is
industrializing countries including Lesotho and Nigeria. Sun’s new
book is “The Next Factory of the World: How Chinese Investment Is
Reshaping Africa.”
