内容简介 "God bless the Chinese," one senior American diplmat in Brazzaville put it bluntly. "They build roads and dams, and quite frankly we don't have what it takes to do those things anymore. All we ca do is give English classes and try to sell our technology." China Safari tells the amazing-and largely unknown-story of the rise of China's economic empire in Africa and how it will change the twenty-first century. China is Africa's second largest business partner, with trade now atmore than $100 billion a year, and growing. Where others see chaos, corruption, and endless civil war, the Chinese see opportunities. With no colonial past and few political preconditions, China is bringing investment and infrastructure to a continent that the West has either exploited or has only seen fit for handouts. China seems desitined to succeed where the West failed. But is China starting to repeat the imperial arrogance of earlier colonial powers?

Combining brilliant on-the-ground reporting, and profound new insights and analysis with extraordinary photographs that visualize the largely "unseen" phenomenon of China in Africa, China Safari sheds light on a geopolitical earthquake that rarely gets attention in the West.
