China: Embracing Africa, But Not Africans

The Diplomat published on 29 January 2015 a commentary titled "China: Embracing Africa, But Not Africans" by Paul R. Burgman Jr., a  graduate student at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. 

The author argued that China must still convince Africans that its interest in their continent is authentic.  He suggested that if you scour the internet under the keywords, "Chinese prejudice against Africans in China" you will find a litany of blogs and articles on the experiences of young African migrants, students, and travelers, many of whom are proficient in Mandarin, as they recount their experiences in China.
