China has significantly improved economic ties with African countries in recent years. This cooperation is considered part of China’s larger strategy to expand global influence and access the continent’s abundant natural resources. The Belt and Road Initiative, which China launched in 2013, laid the foundation for infrastructure development and investment in Africa. The infrastructure sector is a key area where China has invested significantly, including the construction of roads, ports and airports. These projects not only facilitate regional trade but also improve connectivity between African countries and global markets. For example, the construction of Lamu Port in Kenya is part of a larger plan to connect eastern Africa with international trade. Chinese investment also includes the energy sector. Many African countries, especially resource-rich ones such as Nigeria and Angola, have received support in the construction of energy facilities. The presence of Chinese energy companies, such as the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), has helped explore oil and gas reserves, strengthening Africa’s energy independence. Another aspect of this relationship is trade. China is now the largest trading partner for many African countries. By 2022, total trade between China and Africa will reach more than $250 billion. Commodities such as minerals, oil and agricultural products flow from Africa to China, while China exports manufactured goods, technology and equipment. China and Africa’s cooperation is also visible in the agricultural sector. With programs that support increasing agricultural productivity and modernizing agricultural techniques, China is helping African countries achieve better food security. Training and technology transfer from Chinese experts to local farmers has supported these achievements. In addition, China is active in providing loans and financial assistance to African countries. This source of financing is often more flexible than assistance from Western financial institutions. However, this has also raised concerns about rising debt among African countries, which must be managed carefully to avoid falling into a debt trap. While these relationships offer opportunities, there are challenges that need to be overcome. The expansion of China’s influence has raised questions about sovereignty and resource management by African countries. Therefore, it is important for these countries to develop clear policies to safeguard their national interests. Finally, cultural collaboration between China and Africa is also increasing, with intercultural exchanges of education and understanding. A scholarship program for African students studying in China has created a bridge connecting the people of both parties. Overall, China’s strengthening economic relations with African countries reflects new dynamics on the global geopolitical map. This approach, if managed well, can offer a path to sustainable growth for both parties, bringing long-term benefits and strengthening ties between countries.
