Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently concluded a five-nation visit to Africa, extending a three-decade-long tradition in which Chinese foreign ministers have chosen Africa for their first overseas visit each year.
In choosing to visit Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana, Tanzania and Seychelles, Wang demonstrated that China treats all African countries as important partners irrespective of size, geography or political influence.
