Spaces of Chinese economic interests in Africa

Abstract

China is working with the aim of strengthening its international position and power, as it has the second largest global economy after the economy of the United States of America. Therefore, the Chinese economic advancement contributed to pushing it to go beyond its national borders in order to search for raw materials of minerals, especially energy sources. Therefore, we find that its eyes turned to the African continent. Chinese-African relations have advanced rapidly in the twenty-first century, and are considered distinguished relations, as they include all different aspects of cooperation in the fields of politics, economics, and culture. . The most influential economic tools were aid, subsidies, trade relations and investment, and this is called soft power.
