Amid escalating international geopolitical and economic tensions and frequent adverse events，China-Africa trade cooperation has demonstrated strong resilience. This paper analyzes trade data from January to December 2021 between China and 18 African countries，exploring the resilience of China-Africa trade in terms of resistance and recoverability. The study identifies significant spatial variations in trade resilience，with greater disparities in trade resistance than in recoverability across different regions. Key factors contributing to trade resistance include the concentration of trade partners，the level of logistics development，and the level of medical development in African countries. Conversely，the degree of dependence on foreign trade，the severity of the pandemic，and the economic development level of these countries are the most significant factors affecting trade recoverability. Additionally，the prevalence of the internet in African countries significantly influences both aspects of trade resilience. This research contributes to the field of trade resilience and offers policy insights for enhancing economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa under new circumstances.
