China-South Africa Relations

The Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University in South Africa published in December 2011 a paper on the growing partnership between South Africa and China. The author is Haibin Niu, a research fellow at Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, who was a visiting scholar at the Centre for Chinese Studies.

The paper, A Chinese Perspective on South Africa as an Emerging Power: Global, Regional and Bilateral Relations, emphasizes the regional and global importance of South Africa now that it has become a member of BRICS with Chinese support.
