Sierra Leonean President Julius Maada Bio kicked off his China visit this week, sparking conversations about the two nations’ growing friendship. CGTN hit the streets of Sierra Leone to ask locals about their views on Beijing’s role in their country – and the responses were straight fire.
One resident shouted out China for supercharging infrastructure projects: “They’ve done a lot to build roads and bridges here – it’s changed how we move and work.” Another added, “I’d totally visit China if I could! Their tech, culture, and food seem next-level.”
President Bio’s trip – his first state visit to China since 2018 – includes meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss collaborations that could reshape everything from trade to tech. Think Avengers-level team-ups, but for real-world progress.
With Sierra Leone eyeing China’s development playbook, this partnership might just be the blueprint for how nations can collab in 2024. Stay tuned!
