“Yanyin Zi’s pioneer study of the sociality of China Shops in Botswana
highlights the social science imperative of Africa–China relations. I
hope it will generate a proliferation of collaborative research
initiatives by African and Chinese social scientists. The importance of
complex, rigorous, critical and comparative policy-relevant studies, by
African and Chinese scholars working collaboratively, of how China
shapes and is shaped by Africa cannot be over-emphasised.”
