Abstract
ABSTRACT As the bilateral tension and geopolitical turbulence intensify, both the US and Chinese governments are escalating their efforts to garner political support from members of the international community. A strategic avenue for this endeavour is the provision of financial aid. This paper examines the effects of Sino-US financial aid to Africa on the voting behaviour of African nations in the UN General Assembly. The findings reveal that financial aid from both China and the US can influence UN General Assembly votes. Specifically, US aid not only directly diminishes Africa’s political support for China but also indirectly undermines the political returns of Chinese aid through its economic and diplomatic engagements with Africa. However, these direct and indirect effects are not reciprocated by Chinese aid vis-à-vis the US.
