The analysis of relations between China and African countries, as a rule, has a generalized character, although in practice they vary considerably across the continent. Therefore, it seems reasonable to study each case of bilateral contacts separately. Relations between China and Nigeria are developing faster than those between China and other African states. To a certain extent, this is due to the fact that the “Asian giant” - China - has the world's largest population and the fastest growing world economy, while the “African giant” - Nigeria - is the most populous country on the continent and has in recent years become the largest African economy and now seeks to become one of the 20 largest economies in the world. Although, of course, the main reason for China’s growing presence in Nigeria is the huge reserves of hydrocarbons that China’s national economy desperately needs, and Nigeria's vast consumer market that Chinese manufacturers are actively penetrating. However, unlike the relations of the Celestial Empire with other African countries, the relations of China with Nigeria in the last two decades have taken a shape of a strong political union supported by close cultural ties. The expansion of economic and political cooperation between the PRC and African countries raised the issue of balancing the positive and negative factors of China's growing presence on the continent. The analysis of the model of the Sino-Nigerian cooperation in various fields has shown that to date, despite the existence of certain problems, the development of trade and economic relations is a promising direction of bilateral cooperation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Предметом данного исследования являются механизмы политического и экономического взаимодействия Китайской Народной Республики и Федеративной Республики Нигерия. Анализ отношений между Китаем и африканскими странами, как правило, имеет обобщенный характер, хотя на практике они заметно варьируются по континенту. Поэтому представляется правомерным изучение каждого случая двусторонних контактов в отдельности. Отношения между Китаем и Нигерией развиваются быстрее, чем между КНР и другими африканскими государствами. В известной мере это обусловлено тем, что «азиатский гигант» Китай является самой крупной по численности населения страной мира и самой быстроразвивающейся мировой экономикой, а «африканский гигант» Нигерия - крупнейшая по численности населения страна континента - в последние годы превратилась в одну из первых экономик Африки и стремится войти в число 20 крупнейших экономик мира. Хотя, безусловно, главные причины растущего присутствия Китая в Нигерии - это наличие здесь огромных запасов углеводородов, в которых остро нуждается китайское народное хозяйство, и обширного потребительского рынка, чем активно пользуются китайские производители. Однако, в отличие от отношений Поднебесной с другими африканскими странами, между Китаем и Нигерией в последние два десятилетия был сформирован прочный политический союз и установлены тесные культурные связи. Расширение экономического и политического сотрудничества между КНР и странами Африки поставило вопрос о сбалансированности позитивных и негативных факторов растущего присутствия Китая на континенте. Проведенный анализ модели китайско-нигерийского взаимодействия в различных сферах показал, что на сегодняшний день, несмотря на наличие определенных проблем, развитие торгово-экономических отношений является перспективным направлением двустороннего сотрудничества.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>Nigeria</kwd><kwd>trade and economic relations</kwd><kwd>political relations</kwd><kwd>trade turnover</kwd><kwd>investment</kwd><kwd>“soft power”</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>Нигерия</kwd><kwd>торгово-экономические отношения</kwd><kwd>политические отношения</kwd><kwd>товарооборот</kwd><kwd>инвестиции</kwd><kwd>«мягкая сила»</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Africa’s Growing Role in World Politics (2014).
