The book is divided into five chapters, an enlightening introduction and a powerful conclusion. To that end, the first chapter of the book takes the reader through a faithful account of the past Sino-Ethiopian relations. It traces the historical records from the earliest encounters to the present status quo. Going from the phases of pro-US to pro-USSR inclination, this relationship had been long fraught with both obstacles and risks. On the Chinese side, a habit of prioritising ideology led to a period of heightened tensions, while they also supported the Ethiopian and minority forces in their quests for power or recognition. This period ended in 1991, when Ethiopia strategically partnered with China, which is described in chapter two. This partnership came as a response to domestic and international challenges. China was seen as a partner with the technological knowledge to help modernise Ethiopia. To that end, chapter three discusses the bilateral relations within an economic framework. This framework, the Growth and Transformation Plans (GTPs), allowed Ethiopia to fi- nance investment projects such as dams and roads with Chinese aid. Cooperation led to an increase in trade, while Chinese and Ethiopian entrepreneurs travelled between the two countries for eco- nomic benefit. (fragment of text)
