WANG XIAOYING/CHINA DAILY In an era of economic and trade protectionism, neoliberalism and geopolitical confrontations, developing countries are increasingly becoming geopolitical and economic pawns in the zero-sum game of great power competition. For Malawi, a landlocked country, railway infrastructure development projects are a priority as they promote strategic economic connectivity. In addition to infrastructure development, China has also been investing in supporting African countries develop their human resources and institutional capacities by placing a strong emphasis on training African students and senior government technical officials in Chinese universities, thereby promoting and enhancing skills and technological transfer in its engagement with Africa. For example, in an area of education infrastructure development as linked to skills and knowledge transfer, the Chinese government has supported construction of the Malawi University of Science and Technology where national and international students are being trained in geological engineering and climate change management. By implementing a number of infrastructure projects that promote and enhance the connectivity of regional economies in Africa, China is pursuing win-win cooperation, an approach that is building a community with a shared future.
