=It Is Likely Chinese Investors Will Invest In South Sudan Corresponding PNGSM Infrastructure Projects Over The Next Five Years Because Of China's Positive Relationship With South Sudan=

Executive Summary:
China has actively attempted to improve the standard of living in South Sudan, keeping strong bilateral economic and political ties with the South Sudan government when it broke away from Sudan in 2011, taking 75 percent of Sudan's oil with it. These natural resources will keep China invested in South Sudanese infrastructure projects to stay on friendly terms with the South Sudanese people. China signed two bilateral agreements on provision of anti-malaria medicine and training of medical personnel to run the Rumbek hospital. These projects lead to South Sudan Foreign Affairs Minister to call on the Chinese government to look into South Sudan's infrastructure, especially its roads. South Sudan has also expressed interest in working with Chinese infrastructure businesses by attending the China Import and Export Commodities Fair in Guangzhou, China.
