With economic growth hovering around 10%, China’s drive for natural resources to fuel its booming economy has become a central component in its foreign policy. In its effort to secure oil and other resources, and to diversify its supply away from the Middle East, China has set its sights on Africa. While state owned companies have sought out exploration and supply contracts, Beijing has simultaneously courted African governments with trade, investment, debt reduction and aid packages. How has this economic diplomacy impacted China’s general efforts to promote a positive image abroad?
