New sections[edit]

I was interested in greatly expanding this article by going into the relations between each country and China. I've already amassed 25 articles about China and Nigeria relations so I'd like to start there. When I'm finished can I add it to this article or link it in some way, which would be better? I'm looking for people to collaborate with so if anyone is interested get in touch with me and/or click on the google drive link on my talk page to see the collection of articles I have on this topic.

Rename/Delete pages? Africa-China economic relations vs Africa-China relations[edit]

Can someone more clearly explain to me the difference between this page and Africa-China relations? The distinction is not clear by the titles. It seems that Africa-China relations, when compared to this article on "economic relations", only offers one new thing of value which is a more robust historical explanation of Chinese-African relations. If this is the case, Africa-China relations should be deleted. In any case, Africa-China economic relations is more organized, well-written, and has better sections when compared to Africa-China relations. Both articles have many issues with references... Anyway, any reason why the articles can't be merged? --Vivianliu94 (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Nguena's comment on this article[edit]

Dr. Nguena has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


Aspect on capital flight between Africa and China is missing (especially in section 8). I published a paper on this issue which may be usefull to update this interesting contribution.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Nguena has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

Macroeconomic and Political Strategy Opening[edit]

Not to be rude but the line "has walked carefully and humbly towards Africa" without any context seems strange. While I do not necessarily disagree with this analysis it does not seem like a proper way to open a section. Bgrus22 (talk) 30 April 2019

Unreliable information.[edit]

The following statements in the article are false.

In the diplomatic and economic rush into Africa, the United States, France, and the UK are China's main competitors. China surpassed the US in 2009 to become the largest trading partner of Africa. Bilateral trade agreements have been signed between China and 40 countries of the continent. In 2000, China Africa Trade amounted to $10 billion and by 2014, it had grown to $220 billion.[2]

The EU is China's biggest trade partner and China does not have bilateral FTAs with 40 African countries. See: 

https://www.trademap.org/Bilateral_TS.aspx?nvpm=1%7c%7c14719%7c%7c7%7cTOTAL%7c%7c%7c2%7c1%7c1%7c1%7c2%7c1%7c1%7c1%7c1

moreover, many sections are just plain text with no references Viooletta (talk) 12:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first statement is not false. You are correct that the EU is China's biggest trading partner. But what this sentence is saying is that China is Africa's biggest trading partner. Those are not mutually exclusive.
Not sure about the bilateral trade agreements. Is the difference based on source date? JArthur1984 (talk) 12:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
