The China Global South Project provides speaking engagements and consulting services and publishes podcasts on the topic of Chinese engagement in Africa.
In review, The China Global South Project publishes articles/analyses with emotionally loaded language, such as China-Africa 101: China’s Role in Africa’s Debt and There are Chinese Racists, and There are Chinese Global Citizens. Regarding sourcing, they utilize credible sources such as the Center for Global Development, The Washington Post, and The Economist.
Editorially, The China Global South Project frequently reports negatively on China.
