Reviews

[Aroa · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was quite boring. It's a very good study about China in Africa, but just if you're purely interested in statistics and numbers. I would have enjoyed more some anecdotes as examples of the arguments proven in the book. As a source of information for research is perfect, but don't read it as a book. Plus, I don't think I discovered things I didn't know, probably because I had just read the other China in Africa book by the 2 French reporters. Still, if you really need detailed information, this is your book.

[Zhenyao Li · Rating 4 out of 5]

也许是因为缺乏应有的数据，感觉大部分论述有听君一席话之嫌。在截止到奥运前的数据当中，作者希望明确中国是想做非洲的development partner、economic competitor还是colonizer。其实这个问题的结论很明显就是很难在三者当中做出一个明确的选择，问题的给出就意味着这本书的论述只会是在一个有明确预期的结果的大背景下进行细节的详细填充。

作者认为在这个时期资源是核心，意识形态只是细枝末节，和台湾相关的承认问题是核心。核心行动者事商务部、外交部和进出口银行和国开行，同时后文也在强调地方政府的作用，但这些单元的配合和专长明显缺乏详细研究。

关注和非洲国家关系的类型是这本书相对比较有启发的部分。首先作者认为虽然官方外交（FOCAC）和多变关系均存在，但是本质的外交机制仍然是双边关系。作者认为非洲国家主要可以分为三种类型（pariah partnership；illiberal regimes or weak democracies with commodity-based economies；democracies with diversified economies）对于前两者中国面临短期利益和长期稳定性的平衡问题。虽然三类情况的列举十分漂亮，但是详细的比较仍然很缺乏。

企业走出去需要现在本土获得商业成功，然后通过供应链与外界建立联系，随后在长时段更新自己的技术。

The author provides a very good overview of Chinese activity in Africa, including but not limited to China's foreign policy towards the continent and the perceptions (both positive and negative) of the Africans towards the Chinese and their activities in the region. Short but worth reading.

A good primer to Chinese-African relations, but now sorely out of date. Full of data and specific examples.

الكتاب ممل ولكن به معلومات جيدة

[Steve · Rating 2 out of 5]

A technical and analytical look at the rapidly growing influence of China in Africa, economic and otherwise, this book is short and full of data. I appreciate the academic approach to this topic; it seems that most of what I come across to read on this theme, from my Western-centric media consumption habit, is in passing, shallow and frequently inflammatory. Alden presents a well-supported overview of China’s impacts on Africa, as well as exploring the various motivations for this natural expansion of influence and the potential ramifications both for Africans and Chinese.

كتاب يروي التجربة الصينية في التجارة الأفريقية وفي استخراج المعادن هناك

كتاب لم يضف شيئا إلى الذاكرة المهمة عندي
ربما لأن المعلومات التي فيه يمكن اقتباسها من المراجع الاخبارية والسياسية دون الحاجة لقراءة هذا الكتاب فهو لا يشرح ثروة التجربة التي قامت بتطويرها الصين داخل أفريقيا

[P · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some interesting insight into what is taking place rather quietly, out of Western scrutiny, but a pretty dry read.

Very insightful to the Chinese-African Relations
