L’influence chinoise en Afrique : enjeux économiques, sécuritaires et géopolitiques pour 2030

03
April 2026
By Helmut Sorge & Emmanuel Veron

Ce podcast met en lumière la montée en puissance progressive mais structurée de l’influence chinoise en Afrique depuis les années 2000, initialement ancrée dans les échanges universitaires et économiques. Aujourd’hui, cette présence s’étend à des domaines stratégiques tels que les infrastructures, les ressources naturelles, la sécurité et les technologies. L’intervention souligne également les asymétries dans les relations sino-africaines, notamment à travers la question de la dette et de la dépendance économique. Enfin, elle met en perspective cette dynamique dans le cadre de la rivalité sino-américaine, où l’Afrique devient un espace clé de compétition géopolitique.
