　China-app bet365 download exchanges further deepened

Links thinks，Because China-app bet365 download relations are fundamentally different from Europe-China relations，The research on China-app bet365 download relations from European and African perspectives is also very different。Differences between China and Europe，Often viewed as a problem in Europe。The rise of China, especially China’s development in the past ten years，Often seen as a challenge in Europe，Therefore, Europe will also start from this premise when looking at China-app bet365 download relations。However，For the differences with China，There are not so many doubts in app bet365 download。app bet365 download does not have a single perspective on China-app bet365 download relations，There is a big difference from the European perspective。app bet365 download Thinks，China’s exchanges and interactions with app bet365 download in many aspects，There are fundamental differences compared with traditional big countries。

Links said，app bet365 download and China have similar development experiences，The current development of the two also faces similar challenges，These commonalities make it easier for China and app bet365 download to coordinate with each other。In addition，The exchanges and interactions between China and app bet365 download have also indirectly improved app bet365 download’s ability to play a role on the international stage to a certain extent。The African continent is also becoming more aware，They need to understand China more deeply to communicate more effectively。

"From my personal perspective，I think the increasing exchanges between China and app bet365 download have brought about a series of impacts。"Links thinks，Study the similarities and differences in China’s and China’s and app bet365 download’s experiences in international relations，It benefited her a lot。For the relationship between China and app bet365 download，Some people have a very positive attitude，Some people have certain doubts。"This made me realize，The interaction between China and app bet365 download needs to be more constructive，Promote mutual understanding between both parties、Carry out cross-cultural exchanges、Enrich each other’s goals。”

Links thinks，People-to-people exchanges between China and app bet365 download are very important，A lot needs to be done。"I think，For both parties，Individual、Communities and people need to engage with each other。To do this，Need to use forums and other communication methods。” she said，In improving cross-cultural understanding，Young people can play a key role。Creative industries、Cross-cultural cooperation in the fields of innovation and culture is important。Promoting academic exchanges is equally important，The reason is that people’s educational experience is the cornerstone of their future communication。Enhancing mutual understanding and open communication are the basis for strengthening mutual understanding，This is still a key link in China-app bet365 download exchanges。

　　China’s investment benefits app bet365 download

China is one of app bet365 download’s largest sources of investment。Since 2000，China’s direct investment in app bet365 download has grown at an average annual rate of more than 25%。Chinese companies in the process of investing in app bet365 download，Promoting industrialization in app bet365 download、Promote employment、Making important contributions to improving people’s livelihood，And become one of the driving forces for inclusive economic development in app bet365 download。

China has always practiced the "five nos" principle in its cooperation with app bet365 download: China does not interfere with African countries in exploring development paths that suit their national conditions，Non-interference in app bet365 download’s internal affairs，Don’t impose your will on others，Do not attach any political conditions to aid to app bet365 download，Do not seek political self-interest in investment and financing in app bet365 download。Links scale，Long time，The international solution to app bet365 download’s development problems is to provide conditional aid，And this aid is outdated，And there are limitations。China’s direct investment in app bet365 download opens new doors，Making app bet365 download seen as a continent full of opportunities and investment prospects。app bet365 download is no longer the so-called “white man’s burden” in the past，But one is rising、A continent full of hope。She also said，China’s direct investment in app bet365 download does not happen out of thin air。These investments are not entirely smooth sailing，And is often compounded by other challenges facing the continent。In addition，On how China’s direct investment in app bet365 download affects China itself，There is still a lot of research to be done。"It can be said，app bet365 download provides an untapped market for Chinese investors，How to better optimize communication methods to benefit all parties，People are still exploring。”

　　The Belt and Road Initiative meets app bet365 download’s development needs

Since the “Belt and Road” initiative was proposed，African countries actively participate。As of the end of 2021，Among the 53 African countries that have established diplomatic relations with China，52 countries and the African Union Commission have signed cooperation documents with China on jointly building the “Belt and Road”。The “Belt and Road” cooperation projects can connect with app bet365 download’s own development needs and plans。

Links thinks，To achieve better integration between the “Belt and Road Initiative” and the African Union’s Agenda 2063，One of the keys is a continued focus on green infrastructure and the twin issues of climate and development。We must solve app bet365 download’s energy security problem，Dealing again with the looming challenges of climate change，From an environmental and development perspective，The importance of green infrastructure construction has become increasingly prominent。Currently，It is necessary to ensure that the “One Belt, One Road” initiative becomes a forerunner，Provide sustainable investment，To support a fair and just energy transition across the African continent，This includes ensuring resilient infrastructure and investing in renewable energy。

Since the establishment of the Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation in 2000，China-app bet365 download political mutual trust、Pragmatic cooperation、People-to-people and cultural exchanges continue to deepen。Chinese companies have used various funds to help African countries add and upgrade more than 10,000 kilometers of railways、Nearly 100,000 kilometers of highway、Nearly a thousand bridges、Nearly a hundred ports、Power transmission and transformation lines 6.60,000 kilometers、Power installed capacity 1.200 million kilowatts、Communication backbone network 150,000 kilometers，Network services cover nearly 700 million user terminals。Links thinks，The Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation has brought about changes，Is an effective mechanism to build and regulate China-app bet365 download cooperation。For the two vast regions of China and app bet365 download，The Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation is not only desirable，And it is necessary。With any agency、Same mechanism，The Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation also has room for improvement。In helping both parties cope with challenges、Promoting common development，The Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation still has more potential to be tapped。She suggested，Except for formal interactions between countries，Other voices can also be included in the China-app bet365 download dialogue，To ensure that the China-app bet365 download Forum obtains the broadest social support possible。

Links thinks，The key to the development of the Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation is to keep pace with the times，Respond to today’s changing needs and priorities。so far，One of the great advantages of the Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation is its rapid response and flexibility。“Of course，We should also see，One mechanism alone is not enough to adequately address and deal with the challenges facing common development。Therefore，We need to consider more complementary mechanisms to promote the realization of common development goals。”

　　Promote the construction of a China-app bet365 download community with a shared future

The "2022 African Youth Survey" commissioned by the Ichikowitz Family Foundation in South app bet365 download shows，77% of respondents believe that China is the most influential country outside app bet365 download on the African continent，76% of respondents believe China’s influence is positive。

Links thinks，The rise of China has increased the bargaining power of African countries，Enable app bet365 download to achieve its agenda and goals on the international stage。"To some extent，I even think this goes beyond the national level。”she said，Some people often criticize China-app bet365 download relations for placing too much emphasis on country-to-country relations。Actually，Due to various forms of contact between China and app bet365 download，Local communities are also starting to make more voices heard、Participate in development projects、Discuss development issues。Intentionally or unintentionally, this illuminates the needs of local communities and the complexities and challenges of development in developing countries。To ensure a win-win situation in China-app bet365 download relations，The way forward needs to take into account various perspectives。

At the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-app bet365 download Cooperation in September 2018，China and app bet365 download have decided to build a closer China-app bet365 download community with a shared future，Establishing a new milestone in the history of China-app bet365 download relations，Leading China-app bet365 download relations and China-app bet365 download cooperation into a new era。“I think the China-app bet365 download community with a shared future is still in its infancy，The future is full of hope，But it depends on how both parties promote communication。The China-app bet365 download community with a shared future is exciting，The contributions of China and app bet365 download will promote the vigorous development of the China-app bet365 download community with a shared future，China and app bet365 download can share experiences、Learn from each other。”Links suggestion，Specific measures to promote a China-app bet365 download community with a shared future include increasing academic collaboration and cooperation、Promote people-to-people exchanges between China and app bet365 download, etc.。In her opinion，The China-app bet365 download community with a shared future has many components，Many of these have official properties，It is important to expand more communication channels based on official communication。For example，Africans in China have a role to play，Breaking people’s stereotypes about app bet365 download、Enhance understanding；The same is true for Chinese in app bet365 download。

　“There is still a lot we don’t know about each other，Therefore，Increasing communication through knowledge exchange and co-production of knowledge is crucial。We have many similarities，Of course there are many differences。How to handle these differences and treat them as value-added assets，Important to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship。" Links concluded。
