Addressing the challenges posed by protracted conflicts and longstanding disputes on the African continent has been a major focus for the UN. In 1960 the first peacekeeping operation in Africa was deployed in the Republic of the Congo to ensure the withdrawal of Belgian forces and to assist the Government in maintaining law and order.

Since then thousands of peacekeepers have been deployed in more than 30 peacekeeping operations to African countries, including Angola, Mozambique, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Eritrea, Burundi and Sudan. The latest peacekeeping mission was established in 2014 in the Central African Republic.

Must go!' | Kenyan Traders Stage Protests Against Chinese Businesses, China Responds
Kenyan traders are staging protests against Chinese businesses in the country, raising slogans that the "Chinese must go!".

In Kenya, traders have been protesting against Chinese businesses in the country, with slogans demanding that the "Chinese must go!" This demonstration follows a controversy sparked by the arrival of the China Square retail outlet, which sells general merchandise at prices that are reportedly 45% lower than those charged by locally owned enterprises, as per Africa.com.

Wearing dust coats like those used in their retail outlets, more than 1,000 traders marched to the office of the Deputy President and the Parliament earlier this month to present a petition against the Chinese retailers.

he Kenyan traders from downtown areas have asserted that Chinese traders have forced them out of business, claiming that the Chinese were selling goods at more affordable, lower rates.

Speaking to The Standard, Peris, an electronics dealer at Nyamakima said, "I'm here to protest against the Chinese traders' invasion of the Kenyan market. The foreigners are playing the manufacturer and seller's role at the same time, which shouldn't be the case. In Kenya, they are the distributors and retailers. They've locked us out of business."

China responds
Kenya's Trade Minister, Moses Kuria, has proposed to take over China Square's lease from its Chinese owner and provide it to local traders. However, Korir Sing'oei, the principal secretary at Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasised on Twitter that all investors are welcome in Kenya, regardless of their nationality. Wu Peng, the top African official at China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, welcomed Sing'oei's assurance on Twitter.

Later, Wu addressed queries on Twitter highlighting that China continued "to work together with our Kenyan friends in that regard". "Investment cooperation that contributes to added-value product, technology transfer and local manufacturing capacity will always be our priority. We have been and will continue to work together with our Kenyan friends in that regard," Wu tweeted.

"Opening up is our basic national policy, and the door will only open wider and wider. Our commitment will translate into more favorable policies for foreign investors. International supermarkets, chain-stores can be seen everywhere in China and we welcome more to come," he continued.

Highlighting the slogan of a Chinese company in Kenya, Wu said, "Brotherly bonds and fruitful outcomes are cornerstones of China-Kenya cooperation. The slogan of a famous Chinese ceramics factory in Kenya 'Twyford Official' is “Buy Local, Build Local”. Let’s keep working together towards it!"

EU tempts Africa away from Chinese influence

With China reducing its spending in Africa, Europe sees a chance to boost its influence.

At a two-day gathering of European and African leaders in Brussels this week, the EU hopes to unveil a series of major projects that will benefit from €150 billion in funding it has already pledged for its southern neighbors.

A draft “summary of deliverables” document ahead of the summit with African Union leaders, and seen by POLITICO, lists a series of ambitious projects to improve digital connectivity, build new transport links and accelerate the shift to lower-carbon energy sources. It is all part of the bloc's Global Gateway strategy — seen as a geostrategic riposte to China's own Belt and Road initiative.

It’s a good moment for Global Gateway. It’s clearly a good idea but we need to make sure that it’s properly funded in order to say with credibility that it’s living up to its promise to counter the Belt and Road," said Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou, vice chair of the European Parliament's international trade committee. "They have to feel the difference."

An EU official said Europe could step in as China pulls back. "The mega roll-out of Chinese money isn’t there anymore if you compare to a couple of years ago. The Chinese have a real problem in Africa."

China has been investing less in Africa, especially since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, a departure from earlier fears from African and Western countries over Beijing's debt-trap diplomacy.

At the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) meeting last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $40 billion worth of investments for Africa, a third less than previous commitments. The same goes for Chinese loans. These totaled $7.6 billion in 2019 (the latest available figures) according to the Chinese Loans to Africa Database, run by Johns Hopkins University and Boston University. That's a sharp drop from the 2016 peak of $29.5 billion.

China has given other assistance though, promising 1 billion more coronavirus vaccines doses in November, on top of 200 million doses already delivered to African countries. Vaccines are a sore point between the EU and Africa because of the bloc's refusal to waive intellectual property rights that would allow for cheaper production.

In his message to African leaders in November Xi also needled another point of tension: Europe's colonial history in Africa.

"Over the past 65 years, China and Africa have forged unbreakable fraternity in our struggle against imperialism and colonialism," Xi told the (FOCAC) meeting before hailing what he called the "big family of Belt and Road cooperation."

Firewall doused
Europe's battle for influence in Africa is evident in the choice of visits by EU top brass ahead of the Brussels summit — which was delayed for 16 months because of the pandemic.

Margrethe Vestager, the EU's powerful digital chief, was in Abuja, Nigeria on Monday to discuss the EU-Nigeria Digital Economy package. But though it was all smiles at the Valentine's Day meeting with her counterpart, Digital Minister Isa Pantami, the country has been flirting with an internet model that is less than the free and open version favored by Europe. "€820 million until 2024 to invest in shared priorities ... with democratic, human-centered governance," she said in a thinly veiled remark on Twitter while in Abuja. "So much to do together."

The government imposed a national ban on Twitter in June last year after the social media platform deleted a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari threatening a violent crackdown on secessionists. It has only just been restored.

Meanwhile, members of the government, including the president's chief of staff, flew to Beijing to learn more about the Great Firewall — China's nationwide cyber-censorship and surveillance — just before the ban was imposed, according to a report by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism.

"China has [had a good] relationship with African dictators for the past 15 years with a certain amount of success," said Philippe Le Corre, a China expert at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, referring to China's relationship with Africa in general. But while Global Gateway investments will help the EU push its agenda, "Money will not be enough — politics is a must," he said. The EU must be politically savvy to avoid the appearance of being a "naive helper" while China provides repressive technology, he added.

China Lost Top US Trader Title in 2022

hina, once America’s largest trading partner, is losing that seat.

The year 2022 saw China step aside as top U.S. trade partner the first time since the trade war in 2019.

According to import data from the Commerce Department, U.S. purchases from China have dropped below sales from the European Union.

The main reasons that drove the change include Beijing’s harsh zero-COVID-19 policy and Washington’s choice to broaden supply chains, especially with other Asian countries.

Data from 2022 revealed that Washington’s bilateral goods trade with China reached $690 billion, marking a new record, indicating that economic decoupling from China hasn’t yet fallen into place.

U.S. trade with the rest of the world also hit all-time highs last year thanks to a strong dollar and rising domestic demand.
