Based on this global context, this paper examines the US-China soft power competition through foreign aid. It takes a relational lens to analyze their aid to the African countries. It first looks at how foreign aid could be transformed into soft power assets, and then innovatively puts the two countries side by side and examines the relational powers of their foreign aid and the impacts on the other’s national image. The paper uses ordered (Ordinary Least Squares) OLS, ordered logit, and IV regression to analyze aid data and opinion poll data. The results show that foreign aid can promote the African perceptions of both countries. It also finds that Chinese aid has a negative impact on the image of the US in Africa, while American aid has no significant effect on African perception of China. This conclusion aligns with the competitive nature of the US–China relationship. China’s model of aid may be preferred by Africans, while the US may need to revisit its approaches in Africa in order to turn this situation around.","PeriodicalId":54087,"journal":{"name":"African and Asian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139246875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of stone portraits in the pre-Qin period is briefly reviewed, and their cultural characteristics and causes are analyzed from various perspectives. The Neolithic period was not too late for the germination and start of Chinese portrait sculpture. Due to a series of factors such as geographical conditions, material selection, and cultural philosophy, the development of stone portrait sculpture was not given much attention before the Han Dynasty in China, and the development of realistic round and high-relief portrait art with larger volumes lagged. Along with the exchange and collision between civilizations along the Silk Road, thanks to the widespread dissemination of Buddhist statue art in China since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the art of large stone statues has taken on a new artistic appearance in terms of subject matter, techniques, types and uses, and has also gained a broader space for expression. Chinese stone portraits have continued to develop and innovate in terms of subject matter and sculpting techniques, and eventually formed an artistic style of portrait sculpture with distinctive national characteristics. This practice of transcending the secular and divine portraits also led to the maturation of secular portrait sculpting techniques such as Stone Wengzhong (翁仲), objectively opening another channel for the diversification of ancient Chinese portrait sculpture. It can be said that the cultural exchanges along the Silk Road had a very important role in promoting the development and maturation of ancient Chinese large stone portrait art.","PeriodicalId":54087,"journal":{"name":"African and Asian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43726590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings showed that the proportion of female agricultural labor force in 24 regions increased to varying degrees from 1990 to 2010. Areas where the distribution of female agricultural labor is relatively densely distributed largely overlap with cotton planting and growing areas and commodity grain bases, and nearly 1/4 of the areas have more female farmers than males. The feminization of agricultural labor force in China compared with developing regions of Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, has special because of balancing the relationship between rural women, rural families, and agricultural production and maximizing the economic efficiency of farmers during the transition period. The article recommends, in the promotion of rural revitalization strategy, China needs to actively integrate gender awareness, cultivate more female elites in agricultural technology, marketing, and management, giving play to the “super half effect” of rural women in cultural inheritance.","PeriodicalId":54087,"journal":{"name":"African and Asian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43398808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
