South Africa's Relations with China and Taiwan

The Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University published a policy brief in November 2013 titled "South Africa's Relations with China and Taiwan: Economic Realism and the 'One China' Doctrine" by Ross Anthony, Sven Grimm and Yejoo Kim. 

The authors conclude that at the heart of the relationship between South Africa, China and Taiwan exists an economic pragmatism which functions in tandem with a policy of diplomatic isolationism.
