Ethiopia: Xi's China leads Trump's US in Abiy's $12.5 BN Bishoftu Airport Race| Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines the growing China-US rivalry over Ethiopia's $12.5 billion Bishoftu International Airport, one of Africa's most ambitious aviation projects. Chinese state-owned construction groups have taken an early lead, dominating the shortlist for major construction packages as Beijing builds on decades of infrastructure involvement in Ethiopia. But Washington is far from out of the race. US companies could capture high-value opportunities in aircraft, engines, aviation technology and project financing, with Boeing, GE Aerospace, US development finance institutions and major banks showing interest. For Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Bishoftu is more than an airport. It is a chance to turn competition between Xi Jinping's China and Donald Trump's United States into economic leverage for Ethiopia. With African Development Bank and Chinese lenders also circling the project, Addis Ababa has multiple powers competing for a stake. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.TIME STAMPS:
