Abstract: This review was prepared by United States International University – Africa (USIU-A) students: Abubakar Mohamed Ahmed, Madey Eliyas Issack, Waigumo Shiela Kariuki, Asha Idris Mohamed, Shisanya Sophie Amutavy and USIU-A lecturer Weldon Ng’eno KWA. We review about 100 papers on Sino-African relations published during the past 12 years for the most part, in order to put some structure on the existing strands. The literature is classified into dominant schools of thought, namely the: neocolonial or pessimistic; balance development or optimistic and accommodation schools. After the classification, we reconcile the schools of thought in light of dominant themes and debates on development models, inter alia: (1) pessimists versus (vs) optimists; (2) preferences of rights in development models (economic vs political, national vs human & sovereign vs idiosyncratic); (3) the Washington Consensus vs the Beijing Model and; (4) an African Consensus in both the Washington Consensus and Beijing Model.
Keywords: AFRICA REALTIONS, USIU-A lecturer Weldon, accommodation schools.
