They have, for instance, to do more and more with less, maintain the expanding cultural heritage with the best of the past and at the same time quickly and flexibly develop new fields of study and modes of thought, and respond to everyone’s demands because all are “stakeholders” (de Boer, 2002).

The emergence of FOCAC can be more accurately interpreted as part of the increasing institutionalization and intensification of Sino-African relations, at a time of deepening multilateral interactions, although critiques have intensified simultaneously.
