BUILDING A CHINA - AFRICA COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED FUTURE: PATHWAYS AND PRACTICE

Ike M. Kitili

Abstract


Building a China-Africa Community with a Shared Future requires a nuanced understanding of its concept and the broader vision of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. By tracing historical and contemporary drivers, this exploration identifies five strategic pathways: fostering cultural exchange, promoting inclusive economic growth, strengthening collaboration in poverty reduction and public health, establishing a Peace and Security Forum, and advancing climate-focused environmental initiatives. Successfully navigating international complexities and Africa’s internal diversity demands enhanced dialogue and respect for African development autonomy. This endeavour holds transformative potential, rooted in political trust, economic partnership, and shared prosperity, to address global challenges.
