“…Moreover, as China endeavors to play a constructive role in conflict management in Africa, some critics stipulate that China's "indifference" to the internal affairs of its African partners has been exacerbating existing conflicts by supporting corrupt and predatory dictators (Adem, 2010;Eisenman & Kurlantzick, 2006). When promoting Sino-African strategic partnerships and engaging in peacebuilding in Africa, China emphasizes that respecting for each other's sovereignty and non-interference in other countries' internal affairs should be the cornerstone.…”

China has become an increasingly important player across the African continent since the end of the Cold War. Given the scale and breadth of its political and economic involvement in Africa, some Western scholars claim that China's "return to Africa" has been one of the most important developments the region has witnessed in the past two decades. One phenomenon worthy of particular attention is that, other than strengthening economic ties with African states, China has been playing a more active role in helping promote peace and stability on the continent. In other words, Sino-African coordination on security-related issues has been intensified since the end of the Cold War. What kind of role has China been playing or sought to play in this area? What factors have motivated China to engage more actively in African security affairs? And are there any challenges Beijing has to face when pursuing common security interests with its African counterparts? Seeking to provide preliminary answers to these questions, this article mainly investigates China's increasing role in promoting peace and safeguarding security in Africa.

This study investigated China-Africa Economic and Trade ties taking Tanzania as the case study and the prime objective was to identify the main drivers for the bilateral trade and the benefits of the ties. The study draws theoretical framework from Realism, Dependency and Marxist theories of Imperialism. The dependency theory explains underdevelopment while the Marxist explains dominant state expansion. This study mainly employs descriptive research approach to asses China-Tanzania economic and trade ties. Data is drawn from industrial annual reports, previous research, journals, magazines, documentation and websites. Other sources are Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) and Business Registration and Licensing Agency of Tanzania (BRELA). The scope of the study is limited to 1990-2010. The findings of the study show that engagement of China in Tanzania poses both opportunities and challenges. The nature of China`s investment in Tanzania has been capital intensive and been mostly directed to strategic industries, particularly manufacturing sector the leading sector in which Chinese investors have injected more projects, followed by construction, agricultural, tourism and services sectors among others. Similarly, the study finds that the imported commodities and goods from China have been affordable to most of lowincome earners hence increases consumers choice and contribution to Tanzania Economic growth. However, the negative effects cannot be neglected; the investments have led into the influx of low quality products that do not meet market standards. Therefore, this study recommends that the government should ensure that the partnership with China is for a win-win situation.

“…Esa doctrina articula conceptos confucianos, como la armonía, adaptados a la especifi cidad de las relaciones exteriores. Éstos se ligan a otros desarrollados por el gobierno chino, como el nuevo concepto de seguridad, donde se considera que la economía internacional debe ser la base de la seguridad global en un marco de benefi cio mutuo y de prácticas entre iguales; o como el que defi ne que las relaciones entre los Estados deben basarse en cinco principios básicos: respeto a la soberanía e integridad territorial, no agresión, no interferencia en los asuntos internos del otro, igualdad y benefi cio mutuo, y coexistencia pacífi ca (Rocha Pino, 2006: 695 y 696;Guijin, 2004;Eisenman y Kurlantzick, 2006).…”
