El rápido crecimiento de la economía digital está transformando las estructuras económicas globales y los patrones de competencia. Como parte de la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta, la "Ruta de la Seda Digital" ha fortalecido los lazos entre China y África, convirtiendo la cooperación en economía digital en un eje central. Este artículo, desde la perspectiva del Sur Global y la teoría de la dependencia, argumenta que la colaboración económica digital entre China y África no genera dependencia. Por el contrario, reduce la dependencia de África de los países del norte y mejora su posición global. A diferencia de las naciones del norte, China, como líder en la economía digital, busca empoderar al Sur Global y corregir las desigualdades globales mediante la cooperación. La alianza ha demostrado un gran potencial, con logros en infraestructura digital, comercio electrónico e industrias culturales. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos a diversos niveles: a nivel mundial, aumentan las tensiones geopolíticas; a nivel regional, África enfrenta una brecha digital; a nivel nacional, existen resistencias internas; y a nivel social, problemas como la pobreza y los choques culturales plantean obstáculos. A pesar de estos desafíos, la "Ruta de la Seda Digital" ofrece a África la oportunidad de diversificar su economía y modernizar su industria, allanando el camino hacia un futuro más equitativo y sostenible. China y África deben seguir colaborando, aprovechando la tecnología para el crecimiento mutuo y un futuro digital compartido.
