“…These models are largely determined by the cultural, political and economic systems, the particular economy adopts (Kshetri, 2013). For instance, India portrays itself as a generous donor to Sub-Saharan Africa while China positions itself as a cooperative dealer with focus on promotion of African development -especially on infrastructure development (Junbo, 2015;Haroz, 2011). However, others such as Umejei (2015) would also contend that in all reality, all China is doing in SSA in particular is to target extraction of the rich natural resources of the region to feed its booming highly industrialising economy and booming private sector enterprise which needs high volumes of energy, domestic economic growth and development programme (Haroz, 2011 ).…”

“…Sparks 2011is of the opinion that Sub-Saharan Africa is not benefiting from the trade relations with Europe except that Sub-Saharan African economies are feeding the resource demand of the Europeans. China invests massively in infrastructure, cash, education through the so-called Sino-African co-operation, health, technological transfer and so forth to build capacity in the region on the one hand (Haroz, 2011;Junbo, 2015).…”

This paper re-construct the roadmap adopted by China to dominate global trade and market share space with reference to SSA. Specifically, this paper characterises the nature of China's practice of political economy where the country does business. Literature was reviewed to collect data used in the re-construction of the model. This paper found that indeed China has a clearly set roadmap (figure 1) for its global trade and market share space acquisition and dominance. China's dominance of the economic and market space in SSA has an assortment of intertwined complexities for the region. Sub-Saharan Africa needs to excercise caution on China because signs are there already that China would not be any different from the Western economies who had exploited the region for decades for their own gain, not the region's gain.

“…A plethora of modern economists concede that China's rapid economic growth, booming global trade, China's participation in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), shift of economic policy from a protectionist to an open economy, China's growing investments abroad, the size of the country and booming Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) in and outside China, need for developmental assistance by poorer economic regions such as SSA were the most crucial factors which promoted China's dominance of global economy -and current expansionism (IBM, 2006;Haroz, 2011;Junbo, 2015). China's "Go Global/ Go out" policy (Alden & Davies, 2006;Sauvant and Chen, 2014) has taken the country to greater heights in global economics.…”

PurposeThis paper intends to provide a thematic literature review of the scholarly research articles orbiting the Sino–African education cooperation and exchange, published between 2005 and 2022.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used in this paper is qualitative in nature with a thematic approach. The author used content analysis techniques to spotlight the major themes of the topic studied. The author selected the papers and theses, based on their heuristic capacity, from two major databases for the English and Chinese literature: Web of Science and CNKI. The selection process resulted in 60 high-quality peer-reviewed articles and theses. Another 30 research articles and theses were used as supplementary resources.FindingsThe literature concentrates on six points: the historical development, the nature of the exchange, the frameworks of the cooperation, vocational training and knowledge transfer, African students in China and their experiences, and education cooperation and soft power. However, research tends to be somewhat polemical rather than an academic debate between Chinese researchers and their western peers. Therefore, empirical studies beyond the geopolitical preoccupations and the “YEA” or “NAY” to the Sino–African education exchange are critically needed.Practical implicationsThe implications of this study go beyond the east/west or developed/developing world rhetoric and focus more on sustainable educational development on a global scale. Understanding how the literature on the Sino–African education engagement is shaping, provides valuable insights into international education in the global south. It can also be implied to approach educational engagement with other destinations such as India, Türkiye and Brazil.Originality/valueThis thematic literature review concentrates on the educational aspect of Sino–African relations. It compares English and Chinese peer-reviewed scholarly articles and theses on China–Africa educational engagement and has heuristic implications for sustainable educational development globally.
