University World News Africa Edition published on 22 September 2018 a commentary titled "African Universities Need Their Own China Expertise" by Ross Anthony, director of the Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University.
The author argues that Africa is a no man's land of China scholarship, which allows the government of China an opportunity to structure the discourse to its advantage by denying visas to certain African scholars who want to do research in China.
