This article analyses the main issues raised by the cooperation between China and Africa. Particularly, it focuses on the guidelines of the Cape Verde-China relationship that is in itself a durable and multidimensional one. To achieve these objectives, it is necessary to adopt an interdisciplinary methodology, prioritizing the cross-reference data obtained from bibliographical and documentary research, allowing a critical reflection. Although Cape Verde enjoys political stability, which is complemented by a climate of legal and institutional security, it is believed that China’s interest in the archipelago is mainly economic and commercial, as it serves as a logistics platform in the African region.
