The focus of the paper is on building a Chinese led development architecture for sub- Sahara Africa (SSA) with a view to provide a sustained industrial take off in the SSA in the first instance and a premise for a robust trade and economic relations between China and the SSA in the other instance. Here the intention is to create incentives for Afro-China industrial cum trading block and structures that is capable of competing and demanding equality in the current global neo-liberal and Euro-American centric industrial and trade structures that dominate the SSA economy. In discussing the topic the paper is intentionally provocative, it does not mean untrue or in the extreme but to provoke further intellectual discuss or debate. The paper posits that presently Sino-Africa and Asia-Africa industrial, trade and economic relations is uncoordinated and chaotic. That taken the way it is it is not capable of sustaining any meaningful development in the SSA or paving the way for a meaningful Sino-Africa trade and development cooperation. It examined the growing industrial and trade relations between China and Africa. It also examined how the Sino-Africa relation can become a springboard for: (1) an equitable trilateral trade and industrial dialogue and relations between China, United States and the European Union; (2) for Africa's integration into global industrial economy; and (3) China's sustained industrial and trade competition with the west from a third world perspective the paper explored the issues, challenges and prospects of building a proactive and sustained Sino-Africa industrial and trade relation in the 21st Century. Finally it made some concluding remarks and policy prescriptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
