Para ello se analiza el discurso de la élite burocrática de la República Popular China en el marco del Foro sobre Cooperación China-África. Este artículo parte del constructivismo como enfoque teórico con el fin de comprender la manera en que las identidades construidas socialmente y las acciones que los Estados asumen condicionadas en parte por dichas identidades, interactúan mutuamente y moldean el escenario internacional. Así, este artículo sugiere que además de las estructuras materiales que sitúan a China como una potencia en ascenso, este país construye al mismo tiempo la imagen de un Estado que corresponda con este creciente poderío. Así, China construye una identidad en la que se representa como un Estado responsable en la sociedad internacional, que apuesta por un escenario multilateral y que al mismo tiempo se interesa por el desarrollo de los países africanos, desde una óptica distinta. El autor concluye que de esta manera China podría estar generando un modelo alterno de cooperación internacional para el desarrollo que proyecta a este país como una ruta diferente hacia desarrollo en la que los países africanos se pueden apoyar y seguir.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article illustrates the relationship between the discourse on International Cooperation and the construction of the image of the Great China. Therefore, this article analyzes the discourse of the bureaucratic elite of the Republic of China in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. The author assumes a constructivist theoretical approach to understand how socially constructed identities and actions of states determine the international stage. This article suggests that physical structures and identities help to China to build its image in international forums as a rising power. Thus, China is building an identity that is represented as a responsible state in international society, committed to a multilateral setting, based on the principle of nonintervention and equal treatment. Meantime, China is interested in the development of African countries from a different point. The author concludes that China could be developing a different model of international cooperation projects as a different model of development that should be supported and followed for Africans countries.]]></p></abstract>
