The InterRegional for Strategic Analysis, a consulting firm based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, published on 25 September 2023 an analysis titled "Strategic Adaptation: China's Approach to the Aftermath of Military Coups in Africa" by Mahmoud Zakaria.
The author concluded that China has adopted a strategy of adjustment and adaptation in dealing with transitional regimes established after military coups in Africa. This is linked to China's efforts to preserve its objectives and interests, especially in the economic sphere. It also seeks to fill voids left by Western forces, especially France, and hopes to outpace the United States as it tries to contain transitional military regimes in these African countries.
