CHINA MEDIA GROUP HOSTS ANNUAL ENGAGEMENT WITH UJ STUDENTS

A vibrant forum hosted by China Media Group at the University of Johannesburg today brought together voices from across sectors to explore innovation, youth empowerment, and media collaboration.

The discussions gained added momentum following the adoption of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee — a strategic blueprint for high-quality development and deeper global engagement. Participants viewed this as a timely opportunity to strengthen China-Africa cooperation.
