Abstract
Chinese investments on the African continent are extensively increasing. The Chinese focus is
thereby more investment-oriented and contrasts with the more development aid-oriented approach
by Western traditional actors. Since the differences between Chinese and traditional strategies on
the African continent have been outlined thoroughly, this Thesis investigated a possible influence
from Chinese investment on one specific traditional actor. In this case, Germany was the country of
interest. In order to come to a conclusion, secondary data was reviewed and expert interviews were
conducted with eight participants. I predicted that Germany is changing its Africa policy recently
and that Germany gets hereby affected by Chinese investment in Africa. Analysis of the primary
and secondary data demonstrated that Germany is changing its Africa policy recently. Although,
Chinese investment in Africa were not majorly seen as the decisive factor. The decisive factor for
the changing German Africa policy was seen in the desire to stop migration flows from Africa to
Germany.
