Construction firms plan major global infrastructure projects

Major Chinese construction companies are looking to expand into upscale international infrastructure projects.

Xin Xiuming, vice-chairman of the China International Contractors Association, or CICA, expected leading players in the sector to not only finance and build major developments but run them as well.

This trend was highlighted by Wang Yu, deputy chief economist of the China Three Gorges Corp in Beijing, when he talked about the group's plans to develop hydropower plants in Guinea in West Africa.
