無 / Since Beijing launched its “open doors policy” of economic reform in the late 1970s, China has registered a sustained economic growth, which made it one of the world’s leading economies, the world’s fourth biggest economy. By early 2000s, China has not only become an economic giant, with huge markets, cheap manpower, the main destination of foreign direct investments, but China has also become a world class political power whose influence is unceasingly growing, in Asia and all over the World.
Africa, a continent often said to be marginalized and “unimportant” in the international arena is also becoming a much more coveted region by China in recent years. Not only does China intend to strengthen its “historical partnership” with Africa, but it also seeks to have access to Africa’s largely unexploited oil reserves, other raw material, and market. China’s increasing activities in Africa reflect China’s growing power and its desire to build partnerships and influence and to have access to oil supply sources.
The purpose of this study is to try to answer the question “to what extent the rise of China as a global power in world politics is impacting Africa?” Meanwhile, we will also try to answer some subsidiary questions: What Africa could expect from the rise of China?
What are China’s interests in Africa? And what are the implications of the rise of China for the relationship between Africa and Western Countries. The method used for this study consists of analyzing secondary data in order to assess and explain the rise of China and its impact on Africa.
This research concludes that the rise of China does have positive and negative impacts on Africa. China’s booming economy and its growing demands for oil and minerals constitutes an opportunity for African countries’ exports as well as a source of investments. However, China’s rise is also a source of problems for African economies as the flood of cheap Chinese products to Africa and the international markets could cause the loss of jobs and undermine the industrialization of the continent. Finally despite its growing presence in Africa, it is unlikely that China would replace the West as dominant power in Africa, at least in the near future.
