| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China's arrival on the African economic scene is overturning the balance of forces in place since the independence of African countries. Africa is regarded by some as a "new hunting ground" or "promised land" for China, making it part of its global strategy. This article sets out to examine one of China's so-called "soft power" strategies, represented by the widespread practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine overseas. It focuses on Cameroon, which is a mainstay for Central Africa on account of its harbour and its regional economic dominance. |
