Based on a literature review, this article analyses the role of China and India in the new scramble for Africa and tries to determine whether their activities represent a new form of development or a neocolonial endeavour. The article investigates how the strategies of China and India in Africa differ from one another in terms of sectors of activity and methodology of implementation, and it compares their practice, policies, and narratives with the traditional actors in Africa—international financial institutions. In this context, the article pays special attention to the phenomenon of the “Chinese debt trap,” which is used to portray the Chinese presence in Africa as negative. The article highlights that the practices of the new global actors differ from the old actors, especially in regard to respecting local cultural norms and the specific needs of the African context. The article argues that the new global actors offer a development alternative to African countries.
