=China Is Virtually Certain Not To Make Any Investments Into Burkina Faso In The Next Five Years=

Executive Summary:
It is highly unlikely that either China or Chinese companies will make any investments regarding PNGSM in the next five years. Burkina Faso and China currently have no diplomatic relations due to Burkina Faso'smedia type="custom" key="24401026" align="right" recognition of Taiwan. However, in the case that Burkina Faso complies with One China Policy, it is likely that Chinese companies will make sizable investments into the nation's mining industry and infrastructure. Burkina Faso has identified manganese deposits, which would likely draw Chinese investors into the nation's mining industry.
