Uganda's The Independent published on 24 September 2025 an article titled "How China Controls the World" by Ronald Musoke.
The article draws on China's growing influence in Uganda and the results of the China Index 2024, published by China in the World network with the Taiwan-based non-profit Doublethink Lab. The index measures China's influence in 101 countries.
Comment: It is difficult to determine if the title of the article is tongue in cheek or a misreading of the China Index 2024. In any event, the index suggests that China is generally increasing its global influence.
