Abstract

Li Xing aims to provide a framework for understanding the emerging presence of China in Africa in view of its competition with the traditional Western colonial powers. He discusses China’s relationship with Africa by reflecting on theoretical perspectives related to Kautsky, Lenin, Gramsci and Wallerstein in a new light, together with incorporating contemporary theoretical inflections. Li Xing questions the changes that the rise of China will bring to the global capitalist system, asking whether these changes will be merely functional, without resulting in any deeper structural transformation.
