Why is it important?
We analyze that the Western perception and implication towards the Sino-African geopolitical cooperation and clarifies whether China is taking advantage of the weak African states in the name of South-South cooperation or playing the role of a contemporary proxy of the old colonial system and re-partitioning Africa.
Perspectives
Our perspective is that the criticism that China is invading the continent and practicing neo-colonialism is just a speculation or Sinophobia. In fact, the Chinese have no gene in their blood to invade Africa and it is crystal clear that unlike China, the Western world has had an influential history in the African continent. The relation between China and Africa simultaneously presents both challenges and opportunities for either of them.
