摘要：
In the early 1960s, China supported African liberation movements, seeing the continent as part of Mao Zedong's first ‘intermediate zone’ – underdeveloped regions between the superpowers. This created tensions with France, eager to maintain infuence over its former colonies. France's 1964 recognition of China marked Beijing's entry into the second ‘intermediate zone’ – the capitalist states of Western Europe – offering a chance to strengthen ties with Francophone Africa. However, China's efforts faced obstacles from France's policy of ‘concerted divergence’, aimed at managing African autonomy. Drawing on original Chinese and French archives, this article explores how these dynamics hindered China's African ambitions.
