Ahead of the China-Africa forum, young Africans in Yiwu show how they bridge the two sides. Guinean Diaro studied at Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College, became an "international mediator" for trade disputes, then founded a trading firm shipping to four West African nations with 30 million yuan in annual sales and now chairs the Guinean chamber in Yiwu.
Mali's Sidika shifted from traditional trade to livestreaming the Yiwu market to African clients, while Benin's Adisa and Morocco's Nourman built cross-border firms. About 40% of international students at the college stay to start businesses in Yiwu, turning classroom Chinese into real trade links.
