Great TRT World video primer on China's rapidly expanding presence on the African continent. Thanks for sharing this, and your analysis of media coverage of this phenomenon, Eric Olander 欧瑞克 : "Is China good or bad for Africa? Who benefits? Exploitation or just good business? Arrrrrgh! Why does the international media so often feel the need to frame such a complicated, multifaceted geopolitical relationship in such simplistic, binary terms? It's interesting because this is phenomenon that one doesn't see anywhere near as much in the African and Chinese press. For outsiders looking in though, it's totally different and a trend that is largely unique to China. After all, Germany is one of Africa's largest investors but one never sees these kinds of polemic headlines, same with the US, France and Brazil among others. I think journalists really struggle to understand China's role in Africa because, in part, the Chinese challenge so many of the longstanding stereotypes of foreign powers in Africa: that the Western political and economic models are the ONLY paths to pursue or that development can ONLY happen through engagement with Western-led NGOs." #Africa #China #business #trade #policy …see more
