The connection between China and Africa dates back more than six centuries. At the end of the fourteenth century AD, a Chinese navigator led a fleet to the eastern African coast and visited several African regions, including Mogadishu, Barawa, and others.^، However, modern China-Africa relations began with China’s participation, along with a number of African countries, in the founding conference of the Non-Aligned Movement held in Bandung, Indonesia, in 1955. During the past three decades, China-Africa relations have witnessed unprecedented developments. Following the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2000, China provided billions of dollars in loans and assistance to African countries. It also abolished customs duties on goods imported from 34 African countries. According to the website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China currently has 48 embassies in Africa. This research aims to identify China’s motivations for partnering with African countries, examine the efforts made by both sides to strengthen this partnership, reveal China’s strategy for engagement in Africa, and clarify the role China played in assisting African countries, particularly during the spread of the coronavirus. The study also seeks to explore the future of China-Africa relations in the post-COVID-19 era. Loading Search
