Understanding China. Exploring Africa. Connecting Humanity.
I am John Monyjok Maluth, a China-Africa Scholar and pro-humanity writer. I research and write about China-Africa relations, international cooperation, geopolitics, African development, technology, trade, infrastructure, and global economic change.
My work examines how international developments affect African countries, particularly South Sudan, and what governments, institutions, educators, entrepreneurs, and individuals can learn from them.
