| Summary, etc. |
The explosive growth of China's economic interests in Africa -- bilateral trade increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $150 billion in 2011 -- may be the most important trend in the continent's foreign relations since the end of the Cold War. In 2010, China surpassed the United States as Africa's top trading partner. This paper assesses the developments and considers implications of this dramatic change in relative influence of China and the USA. |
