Please Don't Break the China in State's Africa Bureau

Abstract

The U.S. Africa Command is a considerable shift in attention and allocation of resources that has spurred debate about the true intentions of the Government of the United States of America. This has happened concurrently with China's growing involvement in Africa. Does this matter? There has been disagreement at the Department of State about the formation of AFRICOM. Is this still a problem at State? This paper attempts to answer these questions and to present some suggestions on how future AFRICOM commanders could approach their new responsibilities.
