Abstract
After colonial powers pulled out, brand-new states lacked the capacity and experience to effectively govern. African countries were suddenly faced with questions of nation building. Many countries, such as Tanzania, turned to China as a partner in many respects. This paper explores how the nature and motivation of China-Tanzania relations have not seen a significant change over time. This relational consistency and success refute current Western claims that China exerts predatory foreign policy on African countries.
