Emerging Trends and Myths in Africa-China Relations: Live From Johannesburg
[DISCLAIMER: This special bonus episode was recorded live from a classroom on the campus of Wits University in Johannesburg. Unfortunately, the audio quality isn't great -- it's OK, not great -- but we hope that you'll give the show a chance and listen to what was a very lively and informative discussion]
China's relationship with Africa is undergoing profound change in the post-pandemic era. Chinese engagement on the continent has fallen precipitously with a massive drop in people-to-people exchanges, development finance lending, and academic engagement.
In this special live episode of the show broadcast from the African Investigative Journalism Conference on the campus of Wits University in Johannesburg, Eric & Cobus explore the emerging trends and new myths in China-Africa relations with a distinguished panel of journalists and analysts: Sanusha Naidu, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Global Dialogue Geraud Neema, Francophone Editor at The China-Global South Project Bongiwe Tutu, Project Coordinator at The Africa-China Reporting Project Isak Lam, China-based researcher and journalist Sisi Mi, China-based researcher and data journalist

[GLOBAL SOUTH] The U.S.-China Battle For Ideas in the Global South
How the U.S. and Chinese are competing for influence in the Global South
Customer Reviews
Gravitas and in-depth
Great podcast. I like the gravitas and nuances surrounding discussions of complex Global Issues.
I enjoyed the episode on the Global South’s debt problem. Your guest; Economist Ying Qian, was knowledgeable.
The hosts : Eric and Cobus, are knowledge too. They come prepared. They ask pertinent and complex questions to their hosts hence engaging them.
….
This podcast used to be great. Now it’s the same tired examples. Same complaints. Same think tank-y Americans. Lots of Eric’s American left-of-center political opinions. I listen but not attentively.
Factual errors
Incorrect information peddled as facts. The state department budget is way more than $20 billion. Please do some basic research. I listened to learn more about Africa. But I’m started to get bored. The same tired examples and complaints get hashed over and over, and there doesn’t seem to be enough new content. Consider shorter , less frequent episodes to keep the existing ones fresh with new content.
