SOUNDBITE 1 (French): LAZARE TEHOUA, Cote d'Ivoire development and nutritional pharmacology expert
"The democratic policies of the Chinese government are positive because they allow people to fully participate in the country's development. When a policy is widely accepted by the people, it naturally succeeds. Therefore, we believe that China's democracy is successful, as it has already shown good results. As Africans, we are willing to try the Chinese-style democracy to achieve our own development."

SOUNDBITE 2 (French): OUAKIRI RODRIGUE, President of the Friends of China Club of Cote d'Ivoire
"China's democracy has indeed played an important role in driving the country's progress, because today, Chinese democracy unites the entire nation in striving for development. It ensures that all the wealth generated by the Chinese people benefits the people themselves. Furthermore, overseas Chinese seeking markets abroad have also received support from the Chinese government. I believe that China has a form of democracy that truly benefits the people, and this democracy has also promoted the development of its people."
