Abstract
After a few years of cooperation, China has been able to build a very solid relationship with Africa. The Sino-African relationship is therefore far from being a gift from heaven or a gift on a gold platter, but it is the fruit of hard work of strict respect for diplomatic principles and therefore of a real sacrifice on the part of China. In other words, China has developed a grand strategy to maintain its relationship with African countries. Among these strategies we have trade with Africa, the creation of Confucius centers, the training of African executives in China, massive investments in Africa. In other words, China has been able to seduce Africa with its foreign policy and its soft power which has acquired popularity throughout the world today. However, China’s strategy for Africa must still safeguard these bilateral relations and strengthen them against the Western rivalry which still remains jealous.
Highlights
Since the days of African independence, China was practically at the same level as the African countries
As being tired of exploitation and Western imperialism, African countries mostly turn to China
From the mid-1990s, the Chinese returned and invested heavily in Africa. Denouncing both the practices of the Soviet camp and those of the Western camp, and anxious to counter their hegemony on the continent, China has proposed a third way to African governments (Huchet, 2013)
Summary
Since the days of African independence, China was practically at the same level as the African countries. It was able to make the necessary reforms, allowing it to be the second economic power today. China has been able to seduce Africa with its foreign policy and with its soft power which has acquired a good popularity throughout the world today. It is in this sense that we ask ourselves why China has been able to rise to such a level to compete with the colonizing powers of Africa in Africa. What exactly is the strategy for China’s rise to power in Africa?
