520 1 $a"Although China denies that it harbors ambitions to become a superpower, it is on the verge of becoming a major player in the global arena. Against this backdrop, Ian Taylor explores the nature and implications of China's burgeoning role in Africa." "Taylor argues that Beijing is using Africa not only as a source of needed raw materials and potential new markets but also to bolster its own position on the international stage. After tracing the history of Sino-African relations, he addresses key current issues: What will be the long-term consequences of China's access to the continent's oil? How have cheap Chinese imports affected Africa's manufacturing base?" "Based on extensive field research in both China and throughout Africa, China's New Role in Africa is a major and illuminating contribution to the literature on a little-known, but increasingly important, relationship."--BOOK JACKET.
