Presentation Abstract

January 1st, 1998, marked the beginning of Chinese-South African (Sino-South African) relations. The two have maintained a relationship for the past twenty-one years: through trade agreements and economic development investments. This paper will be an analysis of Sino-South African relations. Due to China's investments in the region and South Africa's recent internal conflicts, it is imperative to determine whether their bilateral ties are symmetrical or asymmetrical. In this paper, relations are symmetrical if they are beneficial for both states, while asymmetrical is the determination that one state is dominating the relationship and benefiting more than the other.
