Features: This book introduces Chinese readers to a brand new world, a brand new perspective, and a brand new figure—Jean Ping, the African Chinese Foreign Minister. The book is divided into two parts: The first part is based on the author's understanding of Jean Ping and his family, introducing the growth process of this Chinese-heritage foreign minister from the African tropical rainforest to the world, as well as several segments of his "minefield diplomacy" during the wave of democratization in Africa, to give readers a comprehensive and three-dimensional impression of him. The second part is an excerpt from Jean Ping's own work, "The Path to Peaceful Development in Africa." Jean Ping, through his personal experiences, narrates the causes, development, and consequences of the wave of democratization in Africa. He synthesizes a large number of examples and comments from world-class experts and political figures, offering in-depth and incisive analyses of democracy and economic development in Africa, as well as the impact of globalization and integration on Africa. This book serves as valuable material for observing and studying Africa.
