Thierry Pairault posted on 1 September 2024 a study titled "L'Union europeenne face a la Chine en Afrique."
The study provides an overview of China's and the EU's trade relations with Africa from 2000 until the end of 2023. Since 2000, the EU collectively has been a far larger market for African exports than is the case for China. While Africa's imports from China are growing more rapidly than those from the EU, the latter remains a larger source of African imports than China. Distance has much to do with this trade relationship.
