Abstract: China’s rapid economic growth, and the development of diversified industries in the country encourage the presence of ambitions for China to exert their influence on world politics.

China established the FOCAC forum to provide investment assistance funds to African countries. South Africa, which China considers to have significant regional influence, is the recipient of a large number of FOCAC investment donors. Various kinds of investment assistance in the economic sector provided by China to South Africa. With South Africa’s political view that has a positive perspective on the policies issued by China through the FOCAC program, China can easily exert their political influence in the African region. South Africa has become China’s partner in launching their economic and political interests in the African region. Keywords : China; South Africa; FOCAC; hegemony; investment.
