STORYLINE:

African experts have spoken highly of China's endeavor to achieve the modernization of common prosperity for all.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): CHARLES ONUNAIJU, Director of Center for China Studies, Nigeria
"Chinese modernization will take into account the creators of the wealth, which are the working people. And in the context of the creators of the wealth, common prosperity becomes a corollary. It must be a prosperity that leaves no one behind, especially the working people who are the creators of the wealth, who are the motor driving productivity, who are the motor creating wealth and creating these products."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ISAAC KARANI MUTHAMIA, Founder and director, China Africa Liaison Center
"What impresses me the most about the Chinese path to modernization is their ability to develop homegrown solutions, Chinese solutions to Chinese problems. Even if the problem is local, the solution is found elsewhere, they are able to adopt, customize it to the local problem or the local issue and implement (it) so that it suits the Chinese needs most."
