China Safari, International Edition: On the Trail of Beijing's Expansion in Africa

By Michel Beuret and Serge Michel

Book Overview

CHINA SAFARI tells the amazing - and largely unknown - story of the rise of China's economic empire in Africa and how it will change the 21st century and eclipse the role of the West in Africa. China is now Africa's second largest business partner with trade now at more than $100 billion a year, and growing; it seems destined to succeed where the West has failed. But is China starting to repeat the imperial arrogance of earlier colonial powers? The authors try to answer this question, unearthing the extraordinary human stories underlying China's new ventures in Africa.
