China-Africa Relations (eBook, ePUB)

Building Images through Cultural Co-operation, Media Representation, and Communication
Redaktion: Batchelor, Kathryn; Zhang, Xiaoling

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The recent rapid growth in China's involvement in Africa is being promoted by both Chinese and African leaders as being conducted in a spirit of co-operation, friendship and equality. In the media and informally, however, a different, less harmonious picture emerges. This book explores how China and Africa really regard each other, how official images are manufactured, and how informal images are nevertheless shaped and put forward. The book covers a wide range of areas where China-Africa exchange exists, including diplomacy, technological co-operation, sport, culture and arts exchange. The book also discusses the historical development of the relationship and how it is likely to develop going forward.
