China in Africa: African Perceptions

The Journal of Contemporary China published online in April 2014 an article titled "China in Africa: Presence, Perceptions and Prospects" by Fei-Ling Wang, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Esi A. Elliot, Suffolk University.  The article reports and analyzes China's presence in Africa with an emphasis on how it has been perceived by Africans.  The authors conclude that China has acquired substantial goodwill in Africa but is developing deep issues and facing uncertain challenges and growing obstacles.
