Abstract

This paper seeks to reflect upon China’s “African Policy” from the perspective of both inbound and outbound migration. In particular, it offers an overview of contemporary narratives via academic literature pieces, coupled with the results of ongoing field research conducted since 2012. It addresses such issues – still under- researched – as African student mobility to China, yet another direct consequence of an accentuated and complex policy towards the African continent. All will be looked at finally through the lens of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought up a possible ‘crack’ in the firm collaborative framework in the form of several atrocities against African migrants in Chinese cities.
