Are African Governments Shaping the China-Africa Policy Agenda?

 The LSE blog posted on 21 November 2024 a commentary titled "African Governments Are Shaping the Future of the China-Africa Relations" by Tom Baxter, Dialogue Earth, and Yuezhou Yang, LSE-Fudan Global Public Policy Hub.

The authors argue that increasingly Africa is able to guide the China-Africa policy agenda.

Comment: While there may be some modest movement in this direction, there is precious little meaningful evidence in this commentary to make the case that African governments are shaping the future of China-Africa relations.
