Abstract
Over the last 80 years the relationship between China and the rest of the world has evolved and expanded. China’s international image changed from that of a developing country to that of an international juggernaut in a relatively brief span of time. The formation of the first Asian and African People's Conference in 1955 created an opportunity for Beijing to interact with African countries in a way it had not previously done. The skillful work of future Primer Zhou Enlai would solidify the connection between several African nations and China through his unique approach to diplomacy. This paper uses personal accounts of Zhou Enlai and historical records to describe the Chinese government’s interactions with Africa, and to demonstrate how those bonds forged a path to recognition for the new Chinese government by the global community.
