Abstract
As China emerges to be a new global power, its relation with Africa is overheated with
domination or collaboration debate. The pessimistic argues that China offers puny aid aimed
at exploiting nature resources and creating a neo-colonialism state in Africa, while the
optimistic argues that Chinese aid is aimed at creating mutual win-win collaboration that
tend to lift poverty in Africa. This study will attempt to offer explanation using historical
and aid/investment analysis as a focal point of reference. In this regard this work seeks to
position Africa-China relation debate within historical, contemporary context as well as
examine the nature of aid.
