As　the　bilateral　tension　and　geopolitical　turbulence　intensify,　both　the　US　and　Chinese　governments　are　escalating　their　efforts　to　garner　political　support　from　members　of　the　international　community.　A　strategic　avenue　for　this　endeavour　is　the　provision　of　financial　aid.　This　paper　examines　the　effects　of　Sino-US　financial　aid　to　Africa　on　the　voting　behaviour　of　African　nations　in　the　UN　General　Assembly.　The　findings　reveal　that　financial　aid　from　both　China　and　the　US　can　influence　UN　General　Assembly　votes.　Specifically,　US　aid　not　only　directly　diminishes　Africa＇s　political　support　for　China　but　also　indirectly　undermines　the　political　returns　of　Chinese　aid　through　its　economic　and　diplomatic　engagements　with　Africa.　However,　these　direct　and　indirect　effects　are　not　reciprocated　by　Chinese　aid　vis-&　agrave;-vis　the　US.
