China and the Coast of East Africa

The Journal of the Indian Ocean Region published in 2013 an analysis titled "Infrastructure and Influence: China's Presence on the Coast of East Africa" by Ross Anthony, Centre for Chinese Studies, Stellenbosch University.

The paper argues, through a comparison with 19th century German and British colonialism in the region, that while there are certain affinities, the Chinese presence today is significantly different.
