flexing its muscles as an economic giant quite aptly. Since the formulation of its policy of 'opening up' to the world, China has pursued a global agenda of connectivity and growth. Consequently, this rapid development is in consonance with unrestricted energy supply. This is where the GCC countries, especially Saudi Arabia as a major oil exporting country to China, play an important part. In fact, the very rise of BRICS coincides with a radical change in its relations with other countries, specifically with the GCC. For instance, China has succeeded in displacing traditional economic powers, such as Japan, the EU and the US, from the list of the GCC's largest trading partners over the past five years. China has also been successful in completing joint strategic agreements, demonstrated most recently by the Chinese-Kuwaiti joint investment of $9 billion (Dh33.05 billion) in petrochemicals and oil products. In this regard, this article aims at answering questions like, can this makeup be interpreted as a more strengthened China-GCC relations? What are the complementarities of both China and the

Since its inception in 1894, Ethiopia's telecommunications sector has been characterized by a vertically integrated market run by a state-owned enterprise outside the realm of competition.

Based on analyses of interviews with policymakers and officials, this essay explores the implications of Sino-Ethiopian partnerships in Ethiopian telecommunications from a critical political economy perspective. The analysis shows thatChina's motives for investing in Ethiopia are predominantly economic and provide opportunities for millions of citizens. However, China's policy of noninterference and other factors make the partnership particularly attractive for Ethiopia's anocratic government, which has used China's resources to bolster its power.
