In the intervening years, China has claimed Taiwan as part of its territory and through persistent and aggressive political and economic efforts convinced much of the world to accept her as the sole and legitimate seat of the Chinese people and government. Africa-China-Taiwan Relations, 1949-2020 provides a coherent account of why and how China was able to convince African governments to acquiesce to her claims which have resulted in the expulsion of and the diplomatic isolation of Taiwan on the African continent. This volume, edited by Sabella Ogbobode Abidde, also explains Taiwan’s unsuccessful efforts at blunting China’s maneuvers. It further discusses the endogenous and exogenous factors that swayed African governments to switch their diplomatic allegiance away from Taiwan—a country that was for many years an ally and dependable partner in their quest for growth and development. Finally, the book contains critical assessments of the role and place of China and Taiwan and their current relationship with states and societies on the African continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Foreign Policy and Their Implications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: China's Foreign Policy Towards Africa, 1949-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYen-Hsin Chen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: China’s Foreign Policy Towards Africa, 1949-1971 Africa-China-Taiwan Relations Saidat Ilo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: China’s Foreign Policy towards Africa, 1949-1970\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew M.
