From charges of neo-colonialism to debt and vaccine diplomacy, China-Africa experts face dual responsibilities. Not only do they need to tell the real story of China’s engagement in Africa, they also need to break down and challenge the cynicism surrounding the topic, in order to encourage better and more sustainable engagement.

Author and professor Deborah Bräutigam is one of these experts. In 2014, she created the China-Africa Research Initiative (CARI) at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies to gather credible sources of data that can be used to better understand China’s engagement in Africa.

Hannah Wanjie Ryder is CEO of Development Reimagined, an independent, African-led international development consultancy based in Beijing, which recently celebrated three years of advising African governments, international organizations and others on how to improve the Africa-China relationship. In recent months, she has led a series of webinars on how to reimagine African financing, in partnership with Quartz Africa, which can be viewed here.

Independent - based in Bejing.

A contradiction in terms.

I have not read it.

Bet it is Pro-China propaganda.

Tell me if I am wrong.

I don’t know.

Is it really hard for people to understand that the leaders of China are going to look after their best personal financial interests?

One of the big lies of the world since 1848 is “communist” leaders are selfless and only concerned with the needs of the people.

How do you “unpack” a stereotype? Stupid headline writer. Not to mention that the entire article appears to be unreadable if the excerpt is any indication.

I am so tired of people using the word unpacking this way, thinking it makes them more intelligent.

Unpacking. Sounds like another stupid snowflake term like “claps back” and “opens up”.
