China Expands Military Influence in Africa and Beyond

 The London School of Economics blog posted on 22 January 2025 a commentary titled "China's Economic Boom Fuels Its Military Advancement and Influence in Africa" by Isaac Nunoo, University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

The commentary emphasizes the connection between China's economic and military influence in Africa in its effort to project global power.  The author concluded that it is not clear if China will become an offensive rising power or an ambitious but disciplined great power.
