This article analyzes China's public diplomacy in the field of Sino-Africa relations, arguing that China has adopted public diplomacy with soft power as a vital component of its foreign policy on the continent from the early 2000s onward. The necessity of public diplomacy in China's foreign policy was driven by the objective of developing close economic ties with African countries, even as Beijing faced manifold issues in its relations. To comprehend the link between China's public diplomacy and Sino-Africa economic ties, the research scoped on the diverse factors which cause disharmony between China and African countries and why China holds the upper hand in the relations. Then it examines the use of public diplomacy to manage the imbalanced relations between China and Africa, in which China wields economic dominance over Africa. With the rising importance of public diplomacy globally in the twenty-first century, China has employed its public diplomacy to explain and justify its rising global influence, and to dispel negative publicity in international society. While China has a government-centered public diplomacy system, unlike that of the West, various actors (governmental, semi-governmental, and non-governmental actors) systematically engage in China's public diplomacy through diverse instruments such as foreign aid, media, institutes for exchanging culture, and language training to the populations of African countries.

Abstract

This article analyzes China's public diplomacy in the field of Sino-Africa relations, arguing that China has adopted public diplomacy with soft power as a vital component of its foreign policy on the continent from the early 2000s onward. The necessity of public diplomacy in China's foreign policy was driven by the objective of developing close economic ties with African countries, even as Beijing faced manifold issues in its relations. To comprehend the link between China's public diplomacy and Sino-Africa economic ties, the research scoped on the diverse factors which cause disharmony between China and African countries and why China holds the upper hand in the relations. Then it examines the use of public diplomacy to manage the imbalanced relations between China and Africa, in which China wields economic dominance over Africa. With the rising importance of public diplomacy globally in the twenty-first century, China has employed its public diplomacy to explain and justify its rising global influence, and to dispel negative publicity in international society. While China has a government-centered public diplomacy system, unlike that of the West, various actors (governmental, semi-governmental, and non-governmental actors) systematically engage in China's public diplomacy through diverse instruments such as foreign aid, media, institutes for exchanging culture, and language training to the populations of African countries.
