In comparison, China started developing relations with Africa much earlier. Furthermore, both China and African countries are developing countries. Their relations were often described as ''brotherhood.''

China cannot but to adjust its contents of foreign-aid diplomacy to African countries. On the other hand, Japan and China adopted different strategies to African countries: Japan often set some conditions in assistance and cooperate with international communities such as G-8 group and the UN, while China provided aid unitarily and set no conditions. Which strategy is better for African countries?This is key issue and will be analyzed in this paper. |
