Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article examines whether China's increasing investment and trade in Africa constitutes neo-colonialism or a mutually beneficial partnership. It argues that China's involvement, characterized by significant economic engagement and aid, is not a form of neo-colonialism but rather a symbiotic relationship where both China and African nations gain substantial benefits. The partnership is driven by China's need for resources and markets, while Africa benefits from infrastructure development, investment, and technical assistance.
