A new CGTN survey reveals overwhelming African support for China’s approach to cooperation, with over 90% of respondents calling it a blueprint for global partnerships. The poll, conducted across 10 African nations, highlights trust in China’s ‘sincerity, real results, amity, and good faith’ principles – a combo that’s reshaping development narratives.
Sincerity Wins Hearts
82% praised China for respecting Africa’s autonomy in choosing modernization paths – think of it as a friendship built on mutual respect, not prescriptive ‘how-tos’.
Real Results on the Ground
From 13,000+ km of highways to 80+ power plants, Belt and Road projects are changing lives. 89% said cooperation boosted socioeconomics, while 92% cheered infrastructure upgrades.
Future Goals: Tech & Culture
Top areas Africans want more collabs?
- Science & tech (think AI meets agriculture
)
- Education & healthcare crossovers
- Cultural exchanges (90% want more!)
With 86% endorsing China’s policy of ‘shared future’ development, this partnership is writing a new playbook for South-South cooperation.
