Chinese Policy in Africa: Stakes, Strategy and Implications
Abstract
A decade ago, China's influence in Africa was limited. Recently, however, a more sophisticated generation of Chinese leaders more knowledgeable on Africa combined with a domestic population more confident in its country as a global actor have encouraged Beijing to take a more proactive approach to foreign affairs. In this context, a notable rapprochement was made with the African continent, and the mutual socio-cultural, economic and political exchanges are growing exponentially. So, what strategy -ends, ways and means- did China adopt to strengthen its ties with this continent, and what are the stakes and the implications of this rapprochement? These are the questions to be examined and answered by this paper.
