China’s relations with Algeria catch attention

China’s commercial relations with Algeria are among the strongest in the Middle East owing to the size of the construction projects and large number of construction workers. This first article, by Chris Zambelis for the Jamestown Organization, provides a good review. I’m a big fan of analysts getting their hands dirty, and it seems that Zambelis has actually visited Algeria for the research.  I would only add that there appear to have since been efforts to tighten restrictions, as I’ve written earlier in this post. This second article by the Associated Press covers similar ground.
