近十多年，中非合作不断向纵深发展，大国在非利益格局和力量结构发生显著变化，触发了西方大国和新兴大国对中非合作的特别关注，促使其针对中国在非活动实施反制和对冲举措，中非产业合作面临的国际竞争趋于增大。尽管西方大国在广义的对非产业合作领域仍占据主导，新兴大国在特定领域开展追赶式竞争，但中国在涵盖工业制造及基础设施的狭义产业合作领域独具优势。从这一现状出发，化解国际竞争压力的关键在于巩固和扩大与非洲在工业化及相关基础设施建设上的共同利益，并以此为契机逐步填补中国在能矿、农业、价值文化、战略军事等领域的薄弱环节。
As China-Africa cooperation develops in depth over the past two decades，interest patterns and power structures of international stakeholders in Africa have undergone significant changes. This induces Western powers and the emerging economies to pay close attention to China-Africa cooperation and to take countermeasures against China’s presence in Africa. Therefore，China’s cooperation with African countries is confronted with increasing international competition. China possesses distinctive advantages when cooperating with Africa in terms of manufacturing and infrastructure，despite the fact that Western countries prevail in the overall economic cooperation with Africa and the emerging economies catch up rapidly in certain fields. China should consolidate and enlarge common interests with Africa in promoting Africa’s industrialization and infrastructure improvement，and furthermore enhance its strength in the spheres of agriculture，energy，minerals，cultural exchanges and military cooperation.
