Opportunities for Chinese investments - Economy - Al-Ahram Weekly
A delegation from Egypt is set to visit China next month following last week's visit of a Chinese investment delegation to Egypt A delegation from the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) is scheduled to visit China next month to promote the industrial opportunities available in the SCZONE, Mustafa Ibrahim, vice chair of the China-Egypt Relations Committee at the Egyptian Businessmen's Association (EBA), told Al-Ahram Weekly. The visit is part of ongoing efforts to boost Chinese investments in Egypt. Wang Weizhong, governor of Guangdong Province in China, was also in Cairo last week with a delegation representing Chinese government agencies and Chinese companies interested in investing in the Egyptian market. The delegation also included representatives from Chinese companies already operating in Egypt. Some 2,800 Chinese companies currently operate in Egypt, with total investments exceeding $8 billion, according to the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI). Ibrahim expects Chinese investments to reach $12 billion by the end of 2025. The Chinese delegation explored investment opportunities in various sectors, including electric vehicles. The visit aimed to support the Chinese government's Belt and Road Initiative and to study investment opportunities in the Egyptian market. China plans to move many of its factories abroad due to its commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 2026 and to avoid obstacles that could affect its exports to various countries, including members of the European Union, Ibrahim explained. China is also keen on redirecting its labour force towards high value-added industrial sectors such as the technology industry, in which it has outperformed many of its competitors, he added. Chinese companies are interested in investing across several sectors in Egypt, including textiles, ready-made garments, electrical appliances, the automotive industry, and natural gas exploration. Ibrahim said that China has moved into a new era, transitioning from product imitation to innovation, which has made countries like Germany eager to learn about the technologies used in Chinese robots, for example. China is seeking partners with whom it can strengthen its ties, and Egypt stands out with its large market and trade agreements with many other countries that enable access to nearly three billion consumers, Ibrahim said. He noted that over the past year and a half visits from Chinese delegations have taken a new and more serious turn, with provincial governors and leaders from the ruling party heading the delegations. Chinese investors are also planning to invest in new sectors, including tourism and the establishment of hotels and are currently studying investment opportunities in that field. Ibrahim said that cooperation between Egypt and China takes three main forms, with China exporting production inputs and finished products to Egypt, undertaking projects managed by Chinese companies for implementation in Egypt, and injecting direct investments into the Egyptian economy. He stressed the need for consistent laws and a stable economy to attract foreign investors, making the investment climate more appealing. Ahmed Mounir Ezzeddin, chair of the China-Egypt Relations Committee at the Egyptian Businessmen's Association (EBA), told the Weekly that Egypt's infrastructural development, both in terms of urban expansion and power networks, has opened the door for the establishment of large and medium-sized factories and has encouraged various investments, including those from China. China's only industrial city on the African continent is in Egypt in the shape of the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone on the shores of the Red Sea and south of the Suez Canal. This started on an area of three million square metres and has now expanded to 10 million, reflecting Egypt's importance to Chinese investors. Ezzeddin said that Egypt possesses several factors that attract Chinese investments, such as the new investment law, an improved business environment and a competitive labour force, in addition to competitive electricity and fuel prices. He highlighted that recent measures to regulate the import of finished products have encouraged Chinese investors to inject capital into the home appliance sector, aligning with Egypt's goal to provide competitively priced locally produced products for both domestic consumption and export. * A version of this article appears in print in the 29 May, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Shanghai Futures Exchange Opens Doors to Foreign Investors in Move to Boost China's Influence in Global Metals Markets
Waleed Farouk The Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) announced on Tuesday 34 new regulatory proposals aimed at opening China's futures market to foreign investors and brokers, as part of efforts to support the internationalization of the Chinese currency (RMB) and enhance China's influence in global commodity pricing. The proposals cover multiple areas, including gold and silver options trading, hedging, and precious metals futures trading. The exchange emphasized that the goal is "full opening to foreign participants." Tiger Shi, CEO of BANDS Financial, told Reuters that this announcement represents "a fundamental change in the Shanghai Exchange's constitution," noting that direct foreign access to the exchange's products is "now on the fast track." Key proposed changes: Allowing foreign brokers and investors to trade directly without the need for local intermediaries. Accepting margin in foreign currencies such as the US dollar. A public comment period on the proposals will be open until June 4. A broader strategy to internationalize the Chinese market This move aligns with an earlier announcement on April 21 by the People's Bank of China (PBoC) and three other government agencies, which included investments to promote the internationalization of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), including the establishment of international delivery warehouses, in preparation for competing with the London Metal Exchange (LME) for its role in global gold pricing. A report issued at the time by Jinshi Data indicated that the plan aims to "enhance Shanghai's capacity as an international financial center for the allocation of global resources." It includes developing a platform for trading cross-border financial assets, supporting cooperation with foreign exchanges in product pricing, and expanding the use of renminbi reference prices in global markets. Reshaping the Global Pricing Map Although China is the world's largest consumer of precious metals, the pricing of most of its transactions remains tied to international prices, such as those issued by the London Metal Exchange. However, Beijing seeks to change this equation by making Shanghai futures a global benchmark, potentially dismantling Western dominance of metals markets for the first time in more than 140 years. Reuters previously reported that China's success in attracting foreign traders to the Shanghai Exchange will give its contracts a global benchmark and reduce reliance on Western price signals. In statements to state media, Wang Fenghai, general manager of the Shanghai Exchange, said that internationalizing the market is a prerequisite for strengthening China's influence in metals pricing. He added that the exchange is working to develop cross-border delivery capabilities by establishing warehouses outside China to store the metals associated with its futures contracts. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

China Hosts World's First Humanoid Robot Fighting Competition
HANGZHOU, China – The world's first international fighting tournament among humanoid robots has taken place in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The China Media Group (CMG) organized the competition, as reported by CGTN, a partner of TV BRICS. The tournament was divided into two parts: a demonstration segment and a competitive segment. In the first part, robots showcased their combat skills through single and group performances. In the second part, operators controlled the robots in real time using a special system. Each bout consisted of three rounds, each lasting two minutes. Punches were evaluated according to a point system: one point was awarded for an accurate punch with the hand, and three points for a kick with the foot. A participant lost five points for a knockdown, and if a robot did not get up within eight seconds, it was immediately disqualified. The robot controlled by operator Lu Xin emerged as the winner. In the final round, Lu Xin's robot knocked out its opponent in all three rounds. According to an equipment tester, professional athletes were involved in the preparation of the robots. Sensors were fitted to the athletes to record their movements. This data then formed the basis of training algorithms using artificial intelligence, which enabled the robots to practice various punches, from hooks to uppercuts.
