The China Model: Chinese soft power resource in Africa

There has been ongoing debate about what really is China Model. Attempts have been made to draw comparisons with Washington Conesus, a neoliberal paradigm designed and enforced to the rest of the world by Western countries and their institutions.

Middle kingdom and the middle belt

The first time I publicly voiced my support for the B&R initiative was in the capacity of a speaker at the G20’s Young Scholars Salon held in Beijing, August 2016.

While currently living in China on and off since my early self managed retirement from the workforce overseas in 1998 at 50, I have been observing the varied modes of rapid changes in China which are rather dramatic, measureable and dynamic in magnitudes of big leaps and bounces.

My Encounter with Belt and Road

Muhidin J. Shangwe

I am a Tanzanian currently pursuing a PhD in International Relations at ECNU. My research area is Chinese soft power where I focus on whether it has made strides in Africa. I will be graduating in June this year and return home thereafter. I first came to China in 2007 for a students’ conference on climate change held at Fudan University in July that year.

Lorella Brienza

Born to an Italian father and a Romanian mother, I spent my childhood in Romania and attended primary school in the city of Brasov. Growing up as a bilingual (Italian and Romanian) child has eerily prompted me to learn more about other cultures and languages.

I have had many years working within China understanding the culture complexities of entering such markets. I have been to many cities and towns within China. I love the home towns best. Mainly because of the people, it reminds me of home. A country is only as good as it’s people and the strength of China is within it’s people.

I was born in Sarlahi District in Nepal. I studied Business Studies and Political Science for my bachelor and MA course respectively. I am doing PhD in International Politics at Shandong University. My research focuses on China's multilateral diplomacy, One Belt, One Road and South Asia.

I am currently studying Master degree in Civil Engineering after being awarded a scholarship from the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) atTongji University, where I also finished my undergraduate studies in 2016.I have served as a volunteer for the UNEP-Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development (IESD) during my academic journey.
