PurposeThis article examines the effect of China's soft power projection through the Chinese media in Africa on the African audiences' perception of China's national image through a case study of the residents of Nairobi. It adopted Joseph Nye's soft power model and sought to address three fundamental questions : What is the extent and objective of China's media diplomacy in Africa? How has China's media “offensive” in Africa impacted African audiences' imagery of China? What are the implications, if any, of China's media diplomacy on the Kenyan public view of China?Design/methodology/approachThis article used a mixed-methods research design, which deployed elements of positivism and interpretivism. It used a deductive approach and deployed the survey strategy, which entailed the collection of data from Nairobi city residents. The secondary data were collected from relevant academic literature sources. The primary data were analyzed empirically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), while the secondary data were analyzed using discourse analysis.FindingsChina's soft power projection through the Chinese media in Africa is aimed at addressing the “misinformation” about China. China seeks its share of representation among the African public to correct negative perceptions of China. Kenyans had a generally positive attitude toward China. South Africa and Angola have “Fairly” positive perceptions of the Chinese media. However, this study did not reveal whether the perception was due to the influence of Chinese media. These findings implied that the African public's positive imagery of China cannot be fully attributed to Chinese media's influence.Originality/valueThis study is groundbreaking in that it is one of the few studies that have focused on China's public diplomacy in Africa and assessed the impact of Chinese media on the African public’s perception of China.

“…However, regulatory clarity and consumer protection remain key challenges to widespread adoption. Nonetheless, initiatives like the Ghana Blockchain Association are working to promote awareness and education about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, potentially laying the Galma Guyo (2024) groundwork for greater integration into mainstream financial systems (Amankwah-Amoah & Ifere, 2020).…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the cryptocurrency adoption in traditional financial markets in the United States. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Cryptocurrency adoption in traditional financial markets in the United States has been marked by a gradual but significant increase in interest and integration. Studies indicate that while the adoption rates vary across different sectors, there's a growing acceptance and utilization of cryptocurrencies among institutional investors, particularly in the form of investment products like Bitcoin futures and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Regulatory clarity and institutional infrastructure developments have played crucial roles in fostering this adoption. Additionally, the involvement of prominent financial institutions and corporations, such as banks offering cryptocurrency custody services and major companies integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, highlights a broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies within traditional finance. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (tam), diffusion of innovations theory and institutional theory may be use to anchor future studies on assessing the cryptocurrency adoption in traditional financial markets in the United States. Develop educational initiatives aimed at enhancing financial literacy and cryptocurrency awareness among investors, financial professionals, and policymakers. Advocate for clear and coherent regulatory frameworks that provide legal certainty and consumer protection while fostering innovation and market development.
