Hannah Ryder, CEO of Development Reimagined, speaking on the Chinese state-run broadcaster CGTN about the China-Africa trade expo now underway in Changsha, Hunan.

Ryder explained that these kinds of trade shows are extremely important to help bolster Africa’s manufacturing sector and to develop new sources of economic growth that will power the recovery in the post-pandemic era.
