”China-Angola Relations Over the Past Two Decades: Urban and Technological Development”

In a project supported by the Ford Foundation, the Orfalea Center collaborates with research partners in Angola and China to explore the intricate landscape of urban and rural development in Angola. Their research delves into various aspects of Angola's socio-economic fabric, with a particular focus on the expanding collaboration with China. This webinar will address several key topics, including: (1) the similarities and differences in media coverage of China-Angola relations by Chinese and Angolan newspapers; (2) the evolution of Chinese investments in Angola's real estate sector over the past two decades; and (3) the role of the online market for Chinese products in providing vital economic opportunities for young students in Angola.
