The Daily Maverick published on 7 March 2022 a commentary titled "The African Union Cannot Go to Beijing without an Action Plan" by Hellen Adogo, University of Johannesburg.

The author argues that it is overdue for the African Union to develop a strategy that will leverage Chinese expertise to effectively support Africa's implementation of Agenda 2063.
