On October 10, the website of Capital News, a Kenyan capital FM media, published a commentary by James Cavins, an international relations scholar, arguing that while China has achieved a leap in space science and technology, it has actively helped developing countries including African countries develop space technology and promoted international space cooperation for the benefit of mankind.

  The article focuses on China's great achievements in space and its positive impact on solving global problems. Since the establishment of the China National Space Administration in 1993, China has made major breakthroughs in space science and technology. In 2003, China became the third country to independently send humans into space. In 2019, China successfully carried out a soft landing on the moon with its own probe, and successfully completed the first phase of the construction and operation of the Tiangong Space station in September this year. Rapid advances in space technology will enable China to carry out scientific research that is difficult for many other countries, and help developing countries better cope with the growing challenges of the spread of epidemics, climate anomalies and poverty.

  The article pointed out that China actively promotes space cooperation with developing countries, which conforms to the vision of African countries to develop space technology and benefits the majority of African countries. Under the guidance of Africa's Agenda 2063 and with China's help, space technology products are no longer out of reach for African countries. China has helped Nigeria, Algeria, Ethiopia and Sudan build and launch satellites, and a space science experiment project involving a Kenyan university has been included in China's first list of space station applications.

  China has actively carried out space cooperation with African countries, setting a good example for South-South cooperation and blazing a new trail for international space cooperation.
