This topic was borne out of and sought to be a continuation of the discussion generated in our successful 2015 workshop on SA-Zim relations in partnership with FES.  China was mentioned by panelists and participants alike several times, in the context of analysing SA-Zim relations.  It is clear that one cannot gain a comprehensive analysis of the SA-Zimbabwe relationship without including an analysis of both Zimbabwe’s and South Africa’s strong bilateral relationships with China, plus the three-way dynamics and regional/international aspects.
