African Scholars: Made in China, is a research project conducted by Brandy Darling, a student from Connecticut College in the northeastern portion of the United States.
The research came about due to the fact that there has been an exponential growth in the amount of African students studying in China since the 1980s. This is due to the increase of scholarships given to students as well as the new economic opportunities that China has presented to the world due to its rapid economic growth. Unfortunately, there has been a very limited amount of research to target the economic effects that African students have on the Chinese economy by choosing to study in China.
Through opinion polls and interviews, Brandy will gather evidence to help bridge this information gap and develop conclusions about African students’ contributions to the Chinese economy. To participate in polling, interviewing or to share useful information that will contribute to her research, she can be contacted through WeChat by the username: brandiexp.
