Breaking the tech barrier

China Daily  

JIN DING/CHINA DAILY Global political dynamics in the past few years call for more integration between China and Africa to fend off a new onslaught from the West, particularly from the new US administration. The Global South, particularly regions such as Africa, faces significant challenges due to Western "technological decoupling", which refers to the separation of technological ecosystems between the West and other regions, particularly China. Global South countries must diversify their technological partnerships beyond the West, using the same principles that China has used to become a global leader in modernization and technology. Global South countries must start increasing investment in local innovation, which encourages domestic startups and tech companies to build a self-sustaining ecosystem. While the Global South faces challenges from Western technological decoupling, strategic partnerships, particularly with China, and South-South collaboration are imperative for innovation and economic growth.
