Cameroon first established relations with Taiwan upon its independence, later switching to Beijing. While Taiwan remains largely absent today, China dominates in Cameroon yet the relation remains far from equal.

Like most African countries, Cameroon has a history of switching diplomatic relations from the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan to the People’s Republic of China in the mainland. The Cameroonian scholar Dr. Richard Atimniraye Nyelade argues that this has lead to more exploitation of his country by the government in Beijing.
