"This article examines global representation of the primary continental imperialisms reshaping contemporary Africa: the parallel expansionist exercises of China (centering on commercial expansion) and of the United States (centering on military expansion). Our analysis assesses the current state of ... these continent-wide involvements and sets out the background of how US-African and Sino-African relationships have been portrayed by news media. We then analyze how both Chinese and US expansions in Africa are represented by three prominent global media organizations online: Al Jazeera English, BBC and CNN.
