风险当然是有的。但我们可以跟政府建立合作关系，将风险降到最低。同时我注意到，政府近几年免除了很多非洲国家的债务，促进了同非洲国家的关系，为对非投资扫除了障碍。而且政府还搞了很多援非项目，帮他们修建了公路，铁路，发电站，学校，足球场等很多公共设施。连哪个国家的议会大楼都是中国建的。这些足可以看出政府对投资非洲的决心和信心。

Of course there are risks. But if we can establish cooperative relations with the government, future risks will be at their lowest they can be. At the same time I've noticed that the government in the last few years has waived the debt of many African countries to promote good relations and remove obstacles for investing in said countries. Additionally, the government is doing a lot to aid projects in Africa. They're helping to build roads, railroads, power plants, schools, soccer stadiums, and other kinds of public facilities. There's even a country whose parliament building was built by Chinese companies. From these examples you can see the determination and confidence the government places in investment in Africa.
