Taking its cue from the widely touted 'Chinese Scramble for Africa' and the accompanying claim of a 'new Chinese imperialism', the book moves beyond narrow media-driven concerns to offer one of the first far-ranging surveys of China's returns to Africa, examining what this new relationship holds for diplomacy, trade and development. ( )
Some 800 Chinese companies have already invested £ 6 billion in African countries, and there is more - much more - to come... The authors are even-handed in assessing the costs and benefits to the continent of Chinese engagement. They are surely correct, in refusing to take a high moral line about what the Chinese are doing in Africa. Their economic offensive should be measured coolly against the West's past policies there, which have scarcely been unselfish. But it would be nice to hope that the optimists are right: that Africans themselves will soon recoil from China's shamelessly cynical cash-and-carry policy, which flaunts its absolute indifference to the interests of indigenous people.
Chinese-African relations became an issue of increasing importance leading up to the 2006 China-Africa Summit in Beijing. Nevertheless, academics and policymakers have largely neglected China's expanding relationship with Africa. Scholars have yet to explore the concrete ways in which Chinese actors operate in different parts of Africa, and developmental policy advisors have yet to take the political dynamics and implications of this involvement into consideration when forming policy. China Returns to Africa addresses key issues in contemporary Chinese-African relations, examining the impact of this relationship in issues of diplomacy, trade, and development. Beginning with the assertion that China is engaged in a scramble for Africa and that we are now on the brink of a new Chinese imperialism, the essays in this volume transcend narrow, media-driven concerns and offer one of the first far-ranging surveys of the consequences of China's investment in Africa.
