Description
Xi Jinping and Thriving China-South Africa Relations in the New Era, highlights the role played by President Xi in fostering China-South Africa Relations. This book provides clarity on the role of China-South Africa cooperation — in the region and the continent — through the proposals and initiatives of President Xi, and his thoughts on enhancing China-South Africa relations. It will also help readers to understand the China-Africa policy in the context of those proposals and his countless deliberations during his visits to South Africa.
A recent recipient of US bullying, South Africa stands to gain from the global security strategies laid out by President Xi.
This book is a timely addition to the study of South Africa’s relationship with China, which surpassed a quarter of a century in 2023. The two countries are counselled to deliberate and to dispense with what has become redundant, and redouble their efforts to sustain and improve upon mutual benefits. China-South Africa relations are integral to establishing a community with a shared future for mankind.
