Global China Pulse published on 2 October 2024 a discussion titled "The Railpolitik: A Conversation with Yuan Wang" hosted by Hong Zhang, Indiana University.
The discussion deals with Yuan Wang's recent book on the political context in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Angola where Chinese funding and contractors have been involved in building high-profile railway projects promising to transform the local landscape. She identifies as a key factor the instrumentalization of the infrastructure by local leaders for the sake of their political survival.
