China's relations with African nations have changed dramatically
over the past decade. African oil now accounts for more than 30% of
China's oil imports, and China is Africa's second-largest
single-country trading partner, as well as a leading lender and
infrastructure investor on the continent.
Yet these developments are bringing challenges, not only for
Africa and the West, but for China as well. This book examines
these challenges, considering Africa as a testing ground, both for
Chinese companies ?going global? and for a Chinese government that
is increasingly having to deal with issues beyond its shores and
immediate control. What does China need to do to protect and
develop its African engagements, against a backdrop of mounting
African expectations, concerns from Western actors in Africa, and
the rival presence of other emerging actors? How sustainable is the
momentum that China has established in its African ventures?
China's adaptations to the challenges it is facing in Africa are
examined and assessed, as are the implications of these changes for
China, Africa and the West. China's African engagements are
certainly changing Africa, but could they also be changing
China?
