The University of Witwatersrand published on 19 April 2022 a commentary titled "China's Successes in Anti-poverty and Development Drives: Lessons for the 21st Century Sub-Saharan Africa" by Olusoji Samuel Carnegie, Obafemi Awolowo University.
The article argues that if China can eliminate extreme poverty through attainment of meaningful economic development, Africa can also achieve the same feat by drawing necessary lessons from the Chinese experience. It examines the issues of poverty and development in the context of Africa's relationship with China. It addresses the question of how the Chinese examples can positively influence anti-poverty efforts and assist in the accomplishment of development in the 21st century.
