“…Although the United States still leads on perception indexes, China is making a strong case among the youth. China is almost as popular as the United States in many African countries (Lekorwe et al 2016). While a negative image may come from the poor quality of Chinese products, investments in infrastructure and business development elucidate significant positive perceptions.…”

“…However, the United States is seen as the preferred development model in Figure 8, even if its lead is slight (Lekorwe et al 2016, 4–12). While the United States uses threats of aid cuts and democracy rhetoric in Africa, China realizes the need for durable infrastructural development and is ready to finance this.…”

This article compares the United States’ and China's international efforts of responding to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and considers how the global public is receiving both to project how such measures would likely shape the international leadership competition. How do the international efforts of the United States and China on COVID-19 affect their respective soft power? How does the global public perception of the United States' and China's COVID-19 efforts affect their competitive advantage for global leadership? Based on the theory of soft power, I use Europe and Africa as cases with global perception data from the Pew Research Center (2017–2020) to argue that China would likely win some admiration for its COVID-19 efforts. However, it is unlikely to substantially shape positive global public perception of China to gain a competitive edge over the United States. This argument is based on the narrative China presents in the pandemic, its diplomatic style, and the ideational attachment the U.S. style has established. I utilize a phenomenological approach with narrative analysis.

“…In other words, the growing negative perception of China has created a conducive environment or become an easy target for some political actors to ride on anti-Chinese rhetoric to build popular support for electoral fortunes. Although volumes of work have extensively explored the reactions and perception of China in Africa (e.g., Geerts et al, 2014; Hess & Aidoo, 2015; Lekorwe et al, 2016; McCormick, 2008; Sautman & Yan, 2009), the topic of how the negative aspects of the reactions and perceptions are harness as a wedge appeal or populist strategy is essentially unmined. Considering the topical issue of China’s increasing global activities and influence, studying the topic is timely and necessary.…”

The Emerging Phenomenon of Anti-Chinese Populism in Africa: Evidence from Zambia, Zimbabwe and Ghana

This article explores the salient of anti-Chinese sentiments in Africa and how it has been utilised or materialised as a populist strategy in election campaigns. The contention herein is that anti-Chinese populism has emerged from the rising anti-Chinese sentiments and is utilised primarily as a rhetorical strategy to gain electoral support. In particular, political actors mostly seeking power are inclined to identify and declamatorily rehashed the salient issues driving the anti-Chinese sentiments in political platforms to attract attention and to gain the support of the electorate’s concern about same issues. This dimension of populism hinges not on ideational leanings, but nothing more than an opportunist strategy of exploiting wedge issues for electoral gains. The implications of such an emerging phenomenon cannot be underestimated. Not only is it a hindrance to the budding Africa–China relations but also decadent for China’s global status and its ambitious foreign policy.
