美国非洲政策特点及对我启示

The Features of the US African Policy and their Revelation

非洲大陆拥有丰富的自然资源,而且由于地理位置极具战略意义,美国将其视为称霸全球的战略要地和凸显美全球领导力的重要地区。近年来,奥巴马政府加大对非洲的关注度和投入,进一步界定了美国在非洲的核心利益,并提出了一系列新的政策措施。美国对非工作某些具体做法对我改进对非工作有一定启示。尽管中美在非洲存在竞争和矛盾,但也有某些共同利益,在不影响我与非洲国家双边合作的前提下,中国可有选择地与美国开展适度合作。

As Africa is rich in natural resources and has important geo-strategic values, the US has seen it as an important strategic asset for its global hegemony and leadership. Over the recent years,the Obama administration has increased its attention and investment to Africa, further defined its interests in Africa and raised a series of new policy initiatives. Some of the US practices in Africa may serve as revelation for China to improve her work in Africa. Although China has competitions and contradictions with the US in Africa, they have some common interest there. So, China may selectively engage in moderate cooperation with the US in Africa, if such cooperation does not harm her bilateral relations with the African countries.
