Episode 9.3 Chinese Neocolonialism in the Changing Global Order
Description
Continuing our discussion of China-Africa relations, this episode focuses on the wider discourse surrounding China’s neo-colonial practices in Africa and beyond. The nature of China’s relations with many countries today has been frequently held in comparison to European colonial practices in the 19th and 20th century. Critiqued as a form of neo-colonialism, join our moderator, Angela, and Min Jing, a writer from UCL Asiatic Affairs, together with Lisa, Larissa and Stephen from UCL African Conference in examining the competing narratives behind this discourse.
From China’s debt-trap diplomacy to US cultural hegemony, this episode examines recent changes to power relations in the global order. Engaging with state-centric realism and interests of dominance, this episode helps exemplify the various manifestations of apparent neocolonial practices on an international level, seen between China-Africa relations and otherwise.
