Academic reflections have resulted in diverse interpretations concerning the possible benefits for African development. In this respect it is interesting to discuss the impact of Chinese policies on Africa's socio-economic spaces. Is the "Bejing-Consensus" replacing the "Post-Washington-Consensus"?
