Chinese workforce in Africa drops by over 60% in past decade due to reduced infrastructure spending

Chinese workers in Africa peaked around 2015 at 263,000, but have since fallen by 64% to 93,000 by end of 2021 due to less infrastructure project funding from China
Revenues of Chinese construction companies in Africa also peaked in 2015 and then declined, directly correlated with number of workers
The Covid-19 pandemic halved the number of Chinese workers in Africa in 2020 due to travel restrictions
Countries like Angola and Algeria saw almost 90% of Chinese workers leave as construction projects dried up after the 2014 oil price plunge
While most countries saw declines, Egypt and DRC bucked the trend with small increases in recent years tied to major construction projects and mining industry
