Abstract
Over the past decade China has emerged as an important source of foreign aid for African countries. Providing

aid on terms of its own choosing, China challenges the current foreign aid paradigm in four main ways: The

donor-recipient relationship is challenged by a partnership of equals; The modes of provision are challenged by

China’s focus on aid that is mutually beneficial; The use of conditionalities is challenged by China’s insistence

on sovereignty and non-interference in domestic affairs; Multilateralism is challenged by China’s preference of

going the major foreign aid projects alone. This article argues that China’s aid programme is not likely to

undergo drastic change, and that the effects of China’s foreign aid on the traditional donors are already

discernible on the African continent. The potency of these challenges might herald that the Chinese approach

will provide the frame of reference for foreign aid in the future.
