China's Rise in the Global South: The Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa

China in the Global South: Constructing an Alternative Order –. 中国在全球南方：构建另类秩序China s Rise in the Global South This literature primarily explores China's strategic influence in the "Global South," focusing on its presence in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. Author Dawn Murphy provides a detailed analysis of how Beijing, through the Belt and Road Initiative and various China-Africa and China-Arab States cooperation forums, is constructing an alternative international order distinct from Western liberal principles. The book examines the convergence or deviation of Chinese behavior from international norms through empirical research on economic investment, political diplomacy, and military cooperation. The research indicates that while safeguarding national sovereignty and economic security, China is increasingly becoming a competitor of the United States in the region. Overall, this literature assesses how China, as an emerging power, is reshaping the global governance landscape through special envoys, peacekeeping operations, and infrastructure construction.
