Afrobarometer published on 15 November 2021 its latest survey titled "Africans Welcome China's Influence But Maintain Democratic Aspirations."
Afrobarometer's national surveys in 34 African countries in 2019/2021 show that Africans hold positive views of China's assistance and influence on the continent, though its perceived level of influence on African economies has waned over the past five years. China remains second to the United States as the preferred development model for Africans. In addition, majorities of those who are aware of Chinese loans and development assistance to their countries are concerned about being heavily indebted to China.
