One of the forms of China-Africa economic cooperation is the creation of special economic zones (SEZ), which should in the future become centers of attraction for foreign direct investment (FDI) and the development of industrial production.</italic></p>&#13;
<p><italic>The article analyzes the main special economic zones of China on the territory of African countries. The placement, projects implemented on their territory, and companies engaged in foreign direct investment on the continent within the framework of the considered SEZs are reflected.</italic></p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><italic>Инвестиционная политика Китая в совокупности со значительным ростом экономики этой страны привели к увеличению экспорта китайских прямых инвестиций в развивающиеся страны, в частности страны Африки.
