Despite a huge effort, the Algerian economy has not been able to emerge, what are the factors that contributed to this failure? The predominance of the annuitant nature of the economy gave rise to the "Dutch disease" which certainly played an important role in the unfavourable evolution of Algerian economy.The solution to the problem of the Algerian economy lies in an a action of transformation of its structure and the search for partnership, especially a winwin partnership is an important part of the solution. Can the partnership with China meet this challenge? Sino-Algerian relations are not new. Over the past decade they have experienced an important development that places China among the main economic partners of Algeria, which gives China a leading role in achieving the long-awaited target pertaining to the emergence of the Algerian economy. This paper will focus on determining the ability of Chinese investment in boosting the Algerian economy.

However, that kind of companies remains relatively few flexible and few adaptable to the environment changes. Small and medium companies (businesses) seem more sensitive and better response to environment changes.

The manifestations of the dynamism of SMEs appears mainly at the level of their contribution to employment, to national added value and to innovation.

This impact is currently very significant in the agricultural sector where Algeria is spent in this field of an export economy to a position of net importers of agricultural products. Thus, over 60% of the basic needs of the population in cereals, milk, sugar and vegetable oils are imported. Products such as rice, lentils and beans are imported up to 100%. For its part, the manufacturing industry whose production has hardly experienced increases for several years, especially since the country moved from a planned economy to a market economy, can find explanation from the impact of Dutch disease on the latter. Note also that the manufacturing industry is focused mainly in the production of low-tech, such as food, beverages, textiles and plastics. This stagnation that has persisted for decades it is due (at least partly) to Dutch disease where oil revenue is privileged at the expense of the creative work of wealth? The present paper will seek to make an assessment of the impact of Dutch disease on the de-industrialization of Algeria particularly in terms of impact on the manufacturing industry. Keywords: Algeria, Dutch disease, manufacturing industry.
