China leads over the EU in terms of decision-making and timely completion of projects in Africa, a survey by the Inter Region Economic Network (IREN), a Kenya-based think tank, shows.According to the survey, China was found to be better than European countries when it comes to construction projects - roads, dams, bridges, and railways, while Europe leads in the field of social standards, soft power exchanges, high-quality standards, and environmental awareness.Among the 17 criteria used in the questionnaire, the think tank also asked about interference in a country's internal affairs and the use of corruption. It turned out that Chinese companies - unlike European ones - barely meddle in the internal affairs of a country where they are working.

Conducted online by a Kenya-based think tank, the survey relies on responses given in late 2021 from over 1,000 policymakers from 25 African countries.

China leads over the EU in terms of decision-making and timely completion of projects in Africa, a survey by the Inter Region Economic Network (IREN), a Kenya-based think tank, shows.

According to the survey, China was found to be better than European countries when it comes to construction projects - roads, dams, bridges, and railways, while Europe leads in the field of social standards, soft power exchanges, high-quality standards, and environmental awareness.

Among the 17 criteria used in the questionnaire, the think tank also asked about interference in a country's internal affairs and the use of corruption. It turned out that Chinese companies - unlike European ones - barely meddle in the internal affairs of a country where they are working.
