The China-Global South Project

The China-Global South Project (CGSP), formerly known as The China Africa Project, is a non-profit independent multimedia organization dedicated to exploring every aspect of China’s engagement with Africa. CGSP is registered as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation in the United States with no partisan agenda whatsoever and does not advocate on behalf of any country, company, or culture.

CGSP was co-founded in 2010 by journalist Eric Olander and media scholar Dr. Cobus van Staden. Until August 2019, CGSP was a passion project that Eric and Cobus worked on during nights and weekends. Now, there’s a full-time team of editors and analysts in five countries in Africa and Asia working every day to produce daily news and analysis.
