This paper examines China's role in advancing e-commerce ecosystem development in Africa, focusing on digital infrastructure, technology transfer, training programs, financial support, market expansion, and policy cooperation. Data and case studies reveal that Chinese investments have significantly boosted Africa's e-commerce ecosystem. China's digital infrastructure projects and technology transfers have enhanced local e-commerce operations, while training and financial support have aided enterprise growth. Market expansion and policy cooperation have improved the business environment. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are proposed to further strengthen China-Africa e-commerce cooperation and promote sustainable development in Africa's e-commerce ecosystem.
