The South African Institute for International Affairs (SAIIA) published on 13 April 2015 a brief account titled "Cultural Diplomacy through 'China's Year in South Africa'" by Yu-Shan Wu, a researcher at SAIIA.

The author notes that the growing emphasis on cultural relations between China and South Africa requires coming to terms with some realities.  The first and most important is the need for more people-to-people exchanges as a basis for creating trust.
