    Chen, Xi, filozofinja ...
    Global warming and the rapid depletion of natural assets have made many countriesanxious to find green growth strategies, including global partnerships and interna-tional business. China has ... positioned itself as the right partner for sustainable growthand development in Africa through different engagement routes. In this study, weemploy fixed effects on a sample of 27 countries over 17 years to examine theimpact of China's foreign direct investment and trade on green growth in Africa. Ourresults show that China's investment and trade affect green growth differently. Wefind that foreign direct investment and export have a negative impact on greengrowth. Contrarily, we find importation from China to increase green growth. Ourresults suggest that the growing presence of China in Africa through direct invest-ment and exportation of natural resources is likely to hamper achieving the Sustain-able Development Growth goals. However, countries can harness some benefitsfrom importing sustainable products from China. Our study extends the green growthliterature and informs policymakers of the need to pay attention to the effects ofgrowing Chinese-Africa engagement on attaining sustainable and greener growth.The results are robust to different identification techniques, including two-stage leastsquare and system generalised method of movement.
