World Affairs in its fall 2022 edition published an article titled "COVID-19 and South Africa-China Asymmetric Relations" by Adeoye O. Akinola and Oluwaseun Tella, both at the University of Johannesburg.
The article explores South Africa-China relations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors argue that Beijing's response to COVID-19 raises more questions than it answers. The outbreak of the virus in China, its response, and emerging cases of racism and xenophobia against Africans in China also raise concerns about the future of South Africa-China relations.
