Abstract: This article examines the evolving China-Africa relationship, particularly since the 1990s, focusing on economic, political, and social dynamics. While Chinese investments have spurred significant infrastructure growth, the rise of neo-colonial concerns highlights the risks of dependency and exploitation. This study explores whether China's foreign policy in Africa contains elements of neo-colonialism, focusing on the impacts of investment, trade, and political influence on African economies and sovereignty. It aims to provide a balanced and critical analysis of the China-Africa relationship by evaluating both the positive outcomes and the potential risks for the continent’s long-term development.
