China's economic and political relations with Africa have been a topic of concern for many years. This paper, authored by Peter Stein and Emil Uddhammar, examines China's role in Africa since the 1990s. The authors argue that while China's presence in Africa is significant, other stakeholders have ignored it for too long. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of China's trade, investments, and loans in Africa, and the impact of these activities on the continent's political and economic landscape. The authors also explore the changing geopolitical ambitions of China in Africa and the implications for the future of Sino-African relations. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into the complex and evolving relationship between China and Africa.
