Media has the ability to play an important role in providing readers with information with which to shape opinions， drive initiatives and open discussion on a wide variety of topics. ChinAfrica reader， Christopher S.A. Gonolinje， of Malawi， believes that not only is the magazine’s name unique in that it strengthens bilateral sino-African cooperation， but ChinAfrica is inspiring African people to be more united and reconsider the value of working together for the common good of the continent. excerpts of his thoughts follow：
I AM a regular reader of ChinAfrica magazine， and a Malawi citizen residing in the city of Lilongwe. Despite the fact that I do not have direct access to receiving this periodical， I strive to visit the（Malawi） National Library Center located in city center in order to access each new edition of the magazine.
This magazine considers Africa as one， unit as the name implies– ChinAfrica， not ChinAfricans. Africa is indeed one organic body of citizens， not a collection of nations and territories divided by the presence of old and new forms of colonialism.
I believe Africa stands for： A=Alliance， F=for， R=Republics， I=Institutions， C=Communities and Assemblies （AFRICA）. Pre-1950s colonialism and the new form of colonialism of post-independence Africa has weakened the continent’s institutions and kept it below the poverty line. I am grateful for the 50 plus years of ChinaAfrica diplomatic and economic cooperation. African citizens from South to North and East to West are gradually realizing that China’s growing presence in Africa is not a threat， but an equal partnership that seeks a win-win outcome.
It is interesting to note that what used to be sources of fear and mistrust about Chinese presence in Africa are now the basis of mutual understanding in the Sino-Africa relationship. Africans must join the authorities in calling for the protection of “made in China” label， which is a fundamental connection between the two emerging regions and will reflect the friendly intent of win-win cooperation and not be used to plunder Africa’s resources.
Africans anticipate seeing Chinese people and their businesses fully integrate into African societies. Overseas localization and cultural integration are the common denominators and diversity ingredients of Sino-Africa trade and diplomatic ties.
The aftermath of over 400 years of colonialism and slavery has made Africans mindful but voiceless global citizens. However， they feel that having found a true friend and partner in China， they can now dream of solid cooperation in the future.
The world， particularly the West， will be surprised one day when it realizes that Africa has at last fulfilled the long wished for， but often regarded impossible dream， of becoming one single nation， with a single leader， one government and one resplendent voice. I strongly believe such a step will help to balance the uneven international political arena for the better for all world citizens. And ChinAfrica magazine can be a vital cog in this dream and an ongoing source of inspiration for all.
