Foreign media: The influence of Chinese technology companies in Africa is continuously increasing, especially in the fields of surveillance and security technology.
Differing from Western European and American companies that often attach political or governance conditions, the technical products provided by Chinese companies have almost no additional requirements, making them more easily accepted in African countries. Countries such as Zambia have become important markets, with Chinese surveillance systems, network infrastructure, and smart city solutions being widely applied.
This "no-strings-attached" model has helped China quickly expand its market share, while also strengthening economic and political ties with African countries, and has sparked discussions abroad about data security and sovereignty. This trend shows that China's voice in Africa's emerging economy and digitalization is significantly enhanced.
