Results showed that: Chinese efficiency of investment in most Africa’s countries is on a low level. And there are large national differences in investment efficiency. And investment efficiency in most countries increased steadily. In addition, China’s direct investment in Africa presents convergence and space centralization effect. There is some enlightenment and suggestion: adjust the investment scale, optimize the investment location choice, take effective investment risk prevention and control strategy, implement localization strategy, enhance the capacity of investment industrial concentration, improve the investment environment in Africa, increase the utilization level of the host country investment.
