Chinese View of Trump Administration Africa Policy

China US Focus published in January 2019 a commentary titled "Trump's 'New African Strategy'" by He Wenping, senior fellow at China's Charhar Institute.

The author takes sharp exception to the Trump administration's new Africa strategy as set forth last December by National Security Adviser John Bolton. A key component of the strategy is to counter China and Russia in Africa.

The article says Trump had not appointed an assistant secretary of state for African affairs at the time Bolton announced the new strategy; in fact, assistant secretary Tibor Nagy was in place before Bolton announced the policy.

He Wenping Interview on China-Africa Relations

I recently ran across a particularly informative interview given 30 January 2013 by He Wenping, director of African Studies at the China Academy of Social Sciences, to Tendai Musakwa of the ChinaAfrica Project.

She covers membership in the China African Studies Association, China's position on African peacekeeping operations, France's military intervention in Mali, China's administration of foreign aid, environmental issues, corporate social responsibility (CSR), China's media presence in Africa and Africans living in Guangzhou.
