520 _aThe image of long-standing relations between the two countries is vivid, and the press does not refrain from statements reminding us of this: “China has given its support to our national liberation struggle—no one has forgotten this in Algeria—and the Chinese also remember that Algeria sponsored the resolution that allowed the People’s Republic of China to resume its seat at the United Nations.” Beyond these historical encounters, China is of course this immense country of the “economic miracle”—even though some now see this miracle as a mirage. And some observers point out that “present in Algeria for two decades, the Chinese have ended up feeding clichés and other stereotypes,” which, although they reveal a profound ignorance of the Chinese presence—sometimes accompanied by a rejection of otherness—do not hide the fact that this ignorance is not only the fault of the population, but also that of the leaders. The following points are successively addressed: 790 Chinese companies; investment and service provision; Chinese direct investment projects in Algeria; the amount of Chinese investment in Algeria; Sino-Algerian trade; three Algerian import sectors. An opportunity, but for whom?
