The South China Moring Post published on 24 October 2022 an article titled "Continuity and Caution Key to China-Africa Ties in Xi Jinping's Third Term" by Jevans Nyabiage.
Xi Jinping emphasized China's connection to the Global South, which includes 54 countries in Africa. While concerns over excessive debt by African countries may slow down the Belt and Road Initiative, Africa will remain a key part of China's foreign policy.
