N2 - China’s Ya-Fei-La Strategy, literally meaning Asia-Africa-Latin America, was conceived during the Maoist era in the 1960s in an attempt to promote the advancement of developing country goals in a new world order. This chapter analyzes the implications of Africa’s rising commodity export dependency on China. It analyzes the historical backdrop of China-Africa trade links, and elaborates definition of commodity export dependency. The chapter examines the levels of dependency of African commodity exports to China, focusing on a number of key commodities. It looks at the implications of increased dependency on China, and offers some conclusions and policy implications. The chapter explores that China’s economy has started to slow, exposing some of the uglier aspects of the surge in bilateral trade links. China is seen by ally regimes of both ends of the spectrum as an emerging power in the South and therefore closer to the problems of the South.
