The purpose of the study is to determine what financial and nonfinancial instruments the PRC uses to implement its economic interests in the region. The relevance of the study is due to the increased role of China in the economies of the region, its active investment and lending policy, which in theory can lead to the emergence of “debt traps”, and the spread of “soft power”. To determine the scale of interaction, a general statistical analysis of trade and economic cooperation between the PRC and the countries of the region is provided, and its structure is determined. The institutional framework is studied, for example, the China - Africa Cooperation Forum, and the main instruments which are used to implement the economic interests of the PRC are given, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and investments within its framework, credit policy, assistance in the creation of SEZ, individual elements of “soft power”. The systematization of such instruments makes it possible to assess China’s place in the region in more detail and identify potential risks for developing countries. The implications of the utilization of such instruments in the context of the economic development and economic security of African countries are determined based on the results of the study.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматривается внешнеэкономическая политика Китая в развивающихся странах Африки южнее Сахары. Цель исследования - определить, какие финансовые и нефинансовые инструменты КНР применяет для реализации своих экономических интересов в регионе. Актуальность исследования обусловлена возросшей ролью Китая в экономиках региона, его активной политикой инвестирования и кредитования, которая может в теории привести к возникновению «долговых ловушек», и распространением «мягкой силы». Для определения масштабов взаимодействия приводится общий статистический анализ торговоэкономического сотрудничества КНР со странами региона, определяется его структура. Рассматривается институциональная база, например Форум сотрудничества Китай - Африка, и приводятся основные инструменты, применяемые для реализации экономических интересов КНР, такие как инициатива «Один пояс - один путь» и инвестиции в ее рамках, кредитная политика, помощь в создании специальных экономических зон, отдельные элементы «мягкой силы». Систематизация таких инструментов позволяет подробнее оценить место Китая в регионе, выявить потенциальные риски для развивающихся стран. Исходя из результатов исследования, определяются последствия применения таких инструментов в контексте экономического развития и экономической безопасности африканских стран.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>economic interests</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>developing countries</kwd><kwd>Sub-Saharan Africa</kwd><kwd>direct investment</kwd><kwd>financial instruments</kwd><kwd>credit policy</kwd><kwd>“soft power”</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>экономические интересы</kwd><kwd>КНР</kwd><kwd>развивающиеся страны</kwd><kwd>Африка южнее Сахары</kwd><kwd>прямые инвестиции</kwd><kwd>финансовые инструменты</kwd><kwd>кредитная политика</kwd><kwd>«мягкая сила»</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alemu, D., &amp; Tugendhat, H.
