Abstract
Is Cameroon in love with China? China's growing presence in Africa is now obvious. Trade between China and Africa has multiplied three times in five years. African people are both rejoicing and concerned at the same time, by this new alternative power. I choose to speak especially about the Cameroon case, as it is a country I partly know. The influence of China in Cameroon is recent and its interests are more diverse than in other countries, since Cameroon has both raw materials and a trade market. The Cameroon government (President Paul Biya) is trying to develop a foreign policy based on multi-lateralism . Within a month, between October and November 2006, five of the Cameroon papers published not less than ten articles and three entire files on the new partnership between China and Cameroon.
