The Genesis of the China-Africa Relationship

Panda Paw Dragon Claw posted on 2 May 2020 a thoughtful analysis titled "Bring Back the 'Bandung Spirit' in China-Africa Relationship" by Liu Haifang, Peking University.

The author concludes that the recent incident of racism in Guangzhou highlights the huge gap of language, culture and values between China and Africa, a reality that everyone needs to face in pursuing a sustainable cross-continental relationship. She urges that China's study of Africa must step outside the small echo chambers of think tanks and the restrictive focus on China-Africa economic collaboration.

Evolution of China's Economic Relations with the Maghreb (in French)

The Spring 2017 edition of Revue de la regulation published an article titled "La Chine au Maghreb: de l'esprit de Bandung a l'esprit du capitalisme" by Thierry Pairault.

The paper traces the evolution of China's economic policy in the Maghreb from the 1955 Bandung Conference to the present. It argues that China's policy has evolved from "revolutionary romanticism" to market rationale and concludes that today commercial forces determine the relationship.
