China-Africa Business Relationships: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions

China-Africa Business Relationships : A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions

Chinese-African business relationships has become a major topic of academic relevance recently. This paper presents a systematic review of the relevant extant literature on Chinese-African business relationships published in the period 2000-2019. We use the antecedents-strategies-consequences framework for an enhanced appreciation of the subject. The findings suggest that China’s presence in Africa is economically and politically-motivated, with loans, grants, and infrastructure-for-resources as the main strategies to woo the Africans. China is accused of opportunism in Africa, exploiting the continent’s natural-resource base for its domestic use and seeking political support from African nations to drive its global agenda. The study contributes to an improved understanding of the research and provides bases for future researchers to find gaps and add to the knowledge of the subject. Managers and policy-makers from both sides can also use the findings to enhance their strategies and policies respectively.
