China–South Sudan relations refers to the foreign relations between China and South Sudan. China recognized South Sudan's independence on July 9, 2011.[1]
Non Interference
Southern Sudanese hip-hop star Emmanuel Jal noted that China was seen positively by Sudanese and Africans due to its non interference policy, only doing business, saying- "The Chinese don't influence our politics, They don't comment on it, and what they want, they pay for -- sometimes double the amount. This tends to make all Africans happy -- from the dictators to the democrats, There isn't a party in Africa that doesn't like them. Even if you're a rebel movement and you say to them you can secure gold, the Chinese will simply say they want to buy it. The only foreign policy advice I heard from China was when they said to Sudan, 'Don't go back to war.' That's all they said. They didn't push anything else."[2]
Chinese development finance to South Sudan
Up to 2011 there were approximately 5 Chinese official development finance projects identified in South Sudan by various media reports.[3] These projects range from assisting in constructing a hospital in Bentiu in 2011,[4] to a grant of 200 million CNY for agriculture, education, health and water supply projects in South Sudan.[5]
