The Voice of America’s China-Africa News Hub

DISCLAIMER: From time to time we’ll introduce you to the various state-run propaganda news outlets that various governments around the world operate in the China-Africa space. Just as when we do the same corporate communications, it’s important that to re-emphasize that our highlighting of these various official media channels should not be construed as any kind of endorsement of the content or the government that produces it. The CAP does not and will not accept funding from any government.

The U.S. state run news agency Voice of America has a content hub ominously called “The Dragon’s Reach” that is purportedly intends to serve as a content hub to follow China’s new Silk Road, or Belt and Road Initiative, but only appears to focus on Africa.

  • Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.
  • Read exclusive insights on the key trends shaping China-Africa relations.
