dc.description.abstract | China's relationship with Angola - which is both the region's top oil exporter to China and recipient of the highest amount of Chinese loans ? represents a critical case when it comes to studying Sino-African relations. The Sino-Angolan relationship, forged for purely pragmatic reasons at an opportune moment of mutual need in the early 2000s, has been labelled a 'marriage of convenience'. A variety of factors have, however, altered the environment in which China first made inroads into Angola; most notably a decline in oil prices, and the 2017 political transition. These have provided fresh impetus to the Angolan political economy and relations with China. Based on interviews we show that although oil remains a central ingredient, China's role has substantially evolved. The marriage of convenience is experiencing a period of rocky introspection, one in which the notion of China having sway in Angola can finally be laid to rest. | |
