Abstract
China-Africa relations are the bedrock of the foundation of China’s diplomacy. In the international cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China-Africa cooperation plays a fundamental role and becomes a highlight, which is seen not only in the “matter” but also the “manner” of China and Africa’s joint efforts to develop the BRI. “Matter” hereby refers to the remarkable achievements and “manner” refers to the progress and approaches. As for the “matter”, a large number of research outcomes are already in place both in China and abroad, while the investigation into the “manner” is relatively limited. It is critical to review the progress made in China-Africa joint development of the BRI and further explore the specific approaches and
highlights of China-Africa cooperation within the BRI framework so as to deepen the joint BRI development in the future.
