The widely known ping pong diplomacy led to the establishment of Sino-US diplomatic relations after a two-decade breakdown,and became a major historical event that promoted the development of relations between countries and even changed the international situation.However,what is little known is that the ping pong diplomacy was actually used much earlier when China established diplomatic relations with African countries in the 1950s and 1960s.In fact,in addition to ping pong diplomacy,sports diplomacy between China and African countries has always played an important role in bringing the two sides closer.
