💨 Abstract

China's Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, began his annual New Year tour of Africa on Sunday, marking a 35-year tradition of Chinese influence in the continent. With Europe's presence waning and America's uncertain, China is increasing its financial support, mineral deals, and market access for exports. This visit also comes amid China's efforts to reshape multilateral institutions and reinterpret global norms, particularly on human rights issues.
