Abstract

China has maintained strong relationships with many African countries, and Ghana is one such country. While the two countries have normally enjoyed good friendly relations, concerns over the involvement of Chinese citizens in small-scale mining in Ghana threaten the cordial relationship between the two countries. There is evidence of a cultural evolution and a gradual shift from a culture of enthusiastic reception of local people to the Chinese in the area of mining to one of cold reception to Chinese interests in mining communities. There is also evidence that this cold reception to Chinese miners is stimulated by non-state actors led by the media and inspires in Ghana a new paradigm of more rational engagement with China at the political level, although challenges still remain.

黄金遇冷:中国矿工在加纳面临新现实
中国与许多非洲国家保持着牢固的关系,加纳就是其中之一。尽管两国通常享有良好的友好关系,但对中国公民参与加纳小规模采矿的担忧威胁着两国之间的友好关系。有证据表明,文化发生了演变,从一种热情接纳当地人对采矿区华人的文化,逐渐转变为对采矿社区华人利益的冷遇。还有证据表明,这种对中国矿工的冷遇是由媒体领导的非国家行为者刺激的,并激发了加纳在政治层面与中国进行更理性接触的新模式,尽管挑战仍然存在。

期刊介绍: China Report promotes the free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. A quarterly journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it attempts to provide a fresh approach which goes beyond the strictly utilitarian area studies without becoming antiquarian. Launched in 1964, China Report has, over the years, widened its interests and aims and transformed itself into a scholarly journal that seeks a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours - particularly their cultures, their development and their relations with China. It is an indispensable source of information on China, its society and culture.
