How Zambian Media Frames China, the U.S., Japan, and South Africa
The China in Africa PodcastPlay episode
Show notes
Who shapes Africa's story? Zambia's media offers a rare window into how local voices frame global powers like China, the U.S., Japan, and South Africa.
From debates on debt and development to questions of governance and influence, the coverage reveals both common threads and striking differences with other regions.
Natsuko Imai Kanayama, a researcher at the JICA Ogata Sadako Research Institute for Peace and Development in Tokyo joins Eric & Géraud to share insights from her comparative study, highlighting how Zambian media narratives can challenge global assumptions about power, partnerships, and agency.
