The Guangxi Haisi Cultural Exchange Foundation of China (廣西海絲文化交流基金會) was established in March 2018, with Li Yuanqing (李苑青) serving as its legal representative. The foundation aims to promote foreign cultural and economic exchange and cooperation, supporting public welfare projects in the arts, green development, rural revitalization, education and training, and publishing. The foundation is owned by Guilin Beibei Te Electronic Audio-Video Publishing House, a major state-owned publishing house founded in Guilin in November 1986. In 2025, the foundation participated in the China-ASEAN Youth Media Exchange Program, working with media partners from Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand.

The China-Africa Friendly Economic and Trade Development Foundation (中非友善經貿發展基金會) was established in September 2014 in Beijing as China’s first foundation specifically focused on economic and trade development between China and African countries. Operating under the supervision of the China-Africa Friendship Leadership Group of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (全國政協中非友善領導小組), the foundation describes itself as a non-governmental organization with the stated mission to “help small and medium enterprises go abroad, strengthen China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, fund China-Africa science and technology trade projects, and encourage export earnings.” Since 2015, the organization claims to have established relationships with embassies from all 53 African countries and over 60 Belt and Road Initiative countries in China. The foundation offers services including fundraising for small enterprises, international exchange facilitation, targeted funding for China-Africa technology projects, and legal training programs, positioning itself as a bridge between Chinese enterprises and African markets within China’s broader Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Africa.
