Kinas rolle i Afrika: Hva nå?

CMI and the Department of Comparative Politics (UiB) in cooperation with Bergen Global

How does China respond to Africa’s development challenges? What impact does China have? And how will China influence the global agenda for achieving the sustainable development goals? And how is the Covid-19 pandemic affecting China’s policies and interventions?
