From 2000 to 2011, there are approximately 9 Chinese official development finance projects identified in Algeria through various media reports.[3] These projects range from an offer of a preferential loan of about 48 million USD in 2004,[4] to the construction of an opera house at a total cost of 300 million yuan in 2010.[5]

As of 1996, Algeria had two nuclear reactors, one of which was a heavy water research facility built by China. Algeria signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in June 1996.[6]
