"Relations between China and Africa are increasingly important in understanding
the dynamics that shape our world. But until now, the role of sport was
overlooked.

A new book, Global China and the Global Game in Africa, explores the role of
football in relations between China and Africa – culturally, politically and
economically.

Wycliffe W. Njororai Simiyu chatted to us about his chapter in the book. It’s a
study of African football migration, how players fare in the popular China
Super League, and what their experiences of the country are."
