Description

China's aid program has emerged from the shadows in recent years, sparking debates about its intentions and impact. Deborah Brautigam, a leading expert on China's activities, provides a comprehensive account of China's economic cooperation overseas, tackling myths and realities. Brautigam draws on three decades of experience and hundreds of interviews to shed light on China's "going global" strategy, which includes providing aid to countries in Africa. She examines the effectiveness of this approach, using data and stories from various sectors such as agriculture, industry, natural resources, and governance. This book offers a nuanced understanding of China's role in addressing poverty in Africa, based on hard facts and personal experiences.
