Impact Of Cultural Exchange Between China And Africa

4.3 The IMPACT of CHINA’S CULTURAL RISE FOR AFRICAN SOCITY

Cultural exchanges, a future of China-Africa social relations for over few decades, will have to help lay the groundwork for political, economic, media, and education cooperation. Because the cultural cooperation between both regions is the exchanges of experiences and ideas. Culture is not only about folklore, is also about the knowhow, the experience, the customs, the philosophy of people. That kind of exchange could bring mutual benefit to both regions and be the pillars of their political, cultural, or economic decision when dealing with each other. Whereas cultural links had once been the first and sometimes only ties between China and African countries, today they have given way to a diverse array of interpersonal links (David H. SHINN and Joshua EISENMAN, 2012). Cultural exchange was often the first area of cooperation for countries beginning to open relations with China in Africa. Egypt signed Africa’s first cultural agreement with China in 1955. There was already cultural exchange between China and Africa more than one thousand years ago because, today, China’s rise has influenced on more countries of the world like African countries.

Although, the impact of China’s culture exchange for African society is seen in many fields, like included a variety of people such as acrobats, sports teams, theater groups ,art and so and so one.
