| Abstract | The diplomatic expansion of the People's Republic of China into Africa following the Non-Alignment Movement's (NAM) 1955 Asian-African Conference in Bandung produced a series of transnational architectural collaborations between China's state-run architectural design and engineering institutes and a handful of Africa's newly decolonized governments. Notable examples include Guinea's Government Palace, constructed in 1967 by the Beijing Architectural Design Institute, the 1975 completion of the TAZARA 'Uhuru' Railway linking Tanzania to Zambia, and Cameroon's National Cultural Center, built in Yaoundé in 1983 under the leadership of Yang Jiawen and Xu Yongji of the Northwest Design Institute.
