      <Abstract>The article critically examines the second wave of the contestation and/or scramble for Africa’s natural resources. The scramble for Africa’s economic resources by the European countries that started in the colonial period never ceased even after decolonization. The current situation is the emergence of a new non-traditional imperial power – China. The paper investigates this dimension relative to Africa’s former colonial masters and traditional trading partners within the comity of nations. Within the context of development – security nexus and relative to geo-politics, the Afro-Chinese relationship may not be the best model of multilateral/bilateral frameworks elsewhere in the world. However, the Afro-China relationship is distinct in important ways when compared with Western nation-states. The Chinese have elevated the belief that long-term development of the African continent requires and hinges upon security and that lasting security depends upon development. Thus, the security and development nexus concerns a general idea of how societal security and development are best achieved and maintained and how both the civil and military should form a cohesive approach in international cooperation towards Sustainable Development Goals. This paper applies a mixed methodological approach, including quantitative and qualitative methods, to examine this subject with a view to evaluating the impact of Africa’s relations with China and whether African aspiration for development can be leveraged through this relationship.</Abstract>
