Chinese influence in African mediascape[edit]
I am planning to expand the section "International operations" with information about the Chinese influence in the African mediascape. China is massively investing in the media and cultural sector in Africa to establish various Chinese media outlets in African countries (like CCTV Africa, China Radio International, the newspaper China Daily)[1]. I want to focus on this development and seek to answer the following questions:
- How is Chinese media expanding in Africa?
I want to give a historic overview of Chinese media intervention in Africa and analyze how the African media infrastructure has changed under Chinese influence.
- Why is China increasingly investing in the African media landscape?
It is important for me to show a balanced overview of different viewpoints about the reasons for Chinese investments in the African media landscape.
- How is the Chinese media influence perceived in Africa?
Studies find different African perceptions on Chinese influence which I want to present. [2]
There are numerous academic articles on this topic that examine China-Africa media relations from different perspectives[3][4][5][6]. Therefore, I believe this is an important topic and has to be added to the section of the international operations of Chinese media.
