Abstract: This article examines the emerging relationship between China and Africa focusing in particular on the drivers for contemporary engagement, the plethora of actors involved and the challenges facing the long term sustainability of close economic and political ties. It asks if the methodologies of engagement, elite led ties coupled to a combination of bilateral relations and multilateral forums are sufficient to build the equitable development partnership which Africans and Chinese speak of.
