Opposite to the popular myth that Forum for China-Africa Cooperation,(FOCAC) was the stage for "China's Grand Strategy" while Africa was just a passive player, the mechanism of FOCAC is in reality multiple-level interaction and joint promotion, from brewing and establishment to its operation.

The way forward of FOCAC may be more diversified, as African countries' approach towards the collective mechanism is transforming. This report also suggests how to adjust in order to keep the development of FOCAC more sustainable. <<
