China’s New Economic Playbook: Reshaping Ties with Africa

Published by

China continues to be Africa’s foremost trade ally, yet adverse economic conditions have prompted a change in Beijing’s strategy.

The transformation in China’s position within Africa symbolizes one of the most notable changes in international partnerships and economic influence during the last ten years.

In 2024, China’s commerce with Africa saw an increase of almost 5 percent compared to the previous year. Programs such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to boost international trade under Beijing’s strategy, along with the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, have played significant roles in cementing China’s position as Africa’s leading trading partner.

Even though China’s internal economy has slowed down, its ties with African countries are transforming as Beijing moves toward public-private collaborations and involves financial institutions for financing projects instead of relying solely on conventional government-to-government lending. Additionally, trade is broadening, with Africa increasing exports of non-mineral products such as coffee and avocados to China.
