Chiny w Afryce – szansa czy neokolonializm w XXI wieku? Wybrane aspekty chińskiej obecności na kontynencie

Abstract

China’s policy towards African countries undergone a significant transformation since the 50’s of the XX century, and changed dramatically in the last decade, given the scale of the Middle Kingdom economic engagement on the continent. Africa is nowadays an important source of natural resources and huge market for Chinese products. The same time for non democratic regimes, China eases tensions in the Africa-USA and Africa-EU relations. Chinese aid and investments, are well recognized in Africa, as they are unconditionally realized. Although both parties derive commercial and political benefits from cooperation, Chinese policy is characterized by pragmatism and willingness to achieve their own objectives. If Chinese interests increasingly depend on local leaders’ policy, will it be possible to maintain in future decades „non-interference” ability towards African’s internal affairs? To which extend Chinese presence benefits in building of political, economic and social governance in Africa, and how far it is a scenario of taking advantage in a „neo-colonial” style?
