China and the Change of Regime in Zimbabwe

China File Conversation published on 27 November 2017 two comments titled "What Does Mugabe's Resignation Mean for China?" by me and Huang Hongxiang, a US-based Chinese journalist.

I argued that China received a head's up on the removal of Robert Mugabe from power and that China will continue to support the new government under Emmerson Mnangagwa. I also suggested that developments such as the removal of Mugabe test the limits of China's non-interference principle.
