Abstract
Africa and China have a long relationship spanning over 1200 years, covering various epochs. This relationship has evolved with time, from
infrequent contact during earlier, less technologically advanced times to frequent and strategic in today’s globalized and much-complicated world. But these relations do not occur in a vacuum. Africa and China are both actors in the current geopolitical and economic landscapes.
While China has reached the point of nearly realizing its goal of creating a moderately prosperous society, Africa, too, though less grand in scale, has seen its own rise in the geopolitical landscape and a steady growth of its
economy.
