Why Do My Jaws Hurt When I Drink

China in Africa

John Jolly
The Chinese conquest of Africa
Paris, Pygmalion, 2011. 210 pages, 15.2 x 24 cm, softcover. - 9782756404257

The emergence of China on the international scene undermines the global equilibrium to be increasingly unstable, even and especially if the Western world is growing again. Examine the action of China in Africa can help them see the world's future, a future where the United States will remain a great power, but can no longer (and may already) do as it pleases as it was since the end of the Second World War and especially since the breakup of the USSR.
China is booming and Africa in turmoil after several decades of instability. Too few Europeans still have consciousness. John Jolly focuses on the history of Sino-African relations, on why the Chinese offensive in Africa, the causes of its success, methods, and consequences that China's rise leads to Europeans, Americans and Africans. Sorting between fantasy and reality, it analyzes the responses of Africans and Westerners including those of Europeans, especially French, and suggests possible solutions to try to avoid new conflicts.
John Jolly, reporter, editorial writer on foreign policy and international economics, diplomatic correspondent, traveled to Africa and Asia for various media including The Dawn, The New Journal, Reuters, The Independent ... Author of several books including The History of the African continent and a historical atlas, Africa and the environment of Europe and Asia, is a member of the Academie des Sciences d'Outre-Mer.
