SAIIA’s China and Africa research investigates the burgeoning relationship between China and Africa and the strategic implications of its broad-based co-operation with Africa. Since 2006, SAIIA has produced ground-breaking research on the motives, rationale and institutional structures guiding China’s Africa policy. This enables policymakers to develop a more nuanced understanding of China’s growing power and influence, in turn enhancing their ability to leverage bilateral and continental ties to benefit Africa’s development aspirations. Different dimensions of Chinese continental engagement across diverse sectors have been examined, including energy, resources, trade, investment, aid, public diplomacy, agriculture, peace, security, migration and multilateralism.
