CGTN: Youth exchanges reflect the ‘comradely, fraternal’ China-South Africa friendship
BEIJING, Aug. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As a mandarin teacher who used to be a student at the Confucius Institute at Durban University of Technology in South Africa, Sanele Ntuli is a participant and beneficiary of China–South Africa cultural exchanges and cooperation.
Studying mandarin at the institute since 2018, he had been to China for a one-year study in 2019, experiencing China’s development. His strong interest and persistent learning allowed him to provide mandarin teaching for local people in South Africa.
Recently, 50 faculty and students at the institute wrote a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping, thanking him and the Chinese government for providing opportunities for young Africans to learn Chinese and pursue their dreams.
It was originally Ntuli’s idea to write to President Xi to tell him about the development and achievements of the institute. “It will be a fulfilling moment if President Xi replies and visits us,” he told China Media Group.
Fortunately his dream came true. On August 18, Xi replied to the letter, encouraging them to learn the Chinese language well and contribute to carrying forward the China–South Africa friendship and promoting friendly cooperation between the two countries.
The Chinese president is set to attend the 15th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa, and pay a state visit to the country from August 21 to 24.
Cultural exchange between China and South Africa
During his visit to South Africa in March 2013, Xi witnessed the signing of an agreement on the joint establishment of the Confucius Institute at Durban University of Technology between China and South Africa. The institute has since trained nearly 10,000 students.
Xi, in his letter, hailed China and South Africa’s special, comradely and fraternal friendship. Learning and understanding each other’s language and culture contributes to facilitating mutual understanding and cultivating ever-lasting friendship between the people of the two countries, the Chinese president wrote.
The teachers and students are welcome to visit China more often, have a deeper understanding of China, share a true, multi-dimensional and panoramic view of China with more friends, and strive to be envoys for inheriting and developing the friendship between the two countries, contribute to promoting China–Africa friendship and cooperation and building a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi said.
There are currently six Confucius Institutes and three independent Confucius classrooms in South Africa. More than 10 universities in China have established partnerships with universities in South Africa.
In 2015, South Africa took the lead in integrating Chinese language teaching into the national education system among African countries.
Significance of Xi’s upcoming visit
This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Africa.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said the Chinese president will exchange views with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on bilateral ties and draw a blueprint for the growth of bilateral relations, injecting strong impetus into the construction of a high-level China–South Africa community with a shared future.
Noting that South Africa is China’s comprehensive strategic partner and was the first African country to join the Belt and Road Initiative, the spokesperson said bilateral relations have achieved leapfrog development and reached far beyond the bilateral scope and increasingly bear global significance.
No matter how the international landscape may change, China will not change its commitment to deepening friendship and enhancing solidarity and cooperation with South Africa, he added.

TAIPEI, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — KryptoGO, a leader in Web3 financial infrastructure, has taken another groundbreaking step to ensure unparalleled user and enterprise safety by completing a rigorous security audit aligned with industry-leading methodologies. This milestone solidifies KryptoGO’s position alongside globally trusted platforms like 1Password, Metamask, and Trust Wallet, known for their exceptional security standards.
The audit, conducted with methodologies comparable to those used for 1Password—a benchmark in secure password management—focused on ensuring KryptoGO’s mobile applications, backend systems, and API endpoints meet the highest security standards. 1Password’s robust security features, such as end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, and constant vulnerability testing, serve as the foundation for KryptoGO’s enhanced protection framework.
Demonstrating Excellence in Cybersecurity
KryptoGO has consistently showcased its expertise in security through achievements in prominent cybersecurity competitions and hackathons. Recognized for exceptional performance in events like 2024 BlazCTF, ETH Tokyo Hackathon, and ETH Taipei Hackathon, KryptoGO has solidified its reputation as a trusted innovator.
This audit marks another significant step forward, addressing potential vulnerabilities and reaffirming KryptoGO’s ability to safeguard user assets in an increasingly complex Web3 landscape. Notably, the findings resulted in a 50% reduction in vulnerabilities compared to prior assessments, demonstrating tangible progress in security hardening.
Why Security in Web3 Wallets Matters
In the Web3 ecosystem, wallets act as critical gateways, holding sensitive keys that grant users exclusive control over their digital assets. A single security lapse can lead to catastrophic consequences, including the loss of assets and the erosion of user trust.
Recognizing this, KryptoGO employs a multi-layered approach to private key management, ensuring the highest levels of security and reliability for its users:
- Device-Level Encryption: Private keys are encrypted with a Device Encryption Key and securely stored in the device’s protected environment (Keychain for iOS and Keystore for Android). Access to these keys is tightly controlled through biometric authentication, preventing unauthorized access.
- Password Protection with Argon2: For users who opt for password backups, KryptoGO utilizes Argon2-HMAC-SHA256 with 310,000 iterations to derive an Account Unlock Key (AUK). This industry-standard process, aligned with NIST guidelines, offers robust resistance to brute-force attacks while ensuring compatibility across a broad range of devices.
- Cloud Backup with Shamir’s Secret Sharing: To enhance convenience and accessibility, KryptoGO employs Shamir’s Secret Sharing Scheme (SSS) for password-free cloud backups. This approach splits private keys into multiple fragments (Key Shares) stored across diverse platforms like iCloud and Google Drive. Restoration is possible with any two fragments, ensuring data availability without compromising security.
These measures collectively address the most critical challenges in wallet security:
- Token Integrity: Robust lifecycle management prevents impersonation or unauthorized access.
- Advanced Encryption Standards: Sensitive wallet data and transactions are safeguarded by cutting-edge cryptographic techniques.
- Resilience Against Data Loss: Diverse and secure backup options ensure users can recover their wallets without fear of permanent loss.
- Access Control Enhancements: Multi-layered authentication mechanisms safeguard accounts.
- Secure APIs: Backdoor vulnerabilities and information leaks are actively prevented.
Results That Build Trust
The rigorous Cure53 audit, leveraging white-box and gray-box penetration testing, verified KryptoGO’s resilience against security threats. Cure53’s global reputation for securing critical systems further amplifies the credibility of KryptoGO’s security achievements. The resolution of key vulnerabilities identified during the audit, including token mismanagement and API access concerns, reflects KryptoGO’s dedication to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
Raising the Bar for Web3 Security
By achieving security certifications on par with 1Password and other leading platforms, KryptoGO has set a new benchmark for wallet safety in the Web3 era. These advancements empower users to confidently manage their digital assets while positioning KryptoGO as the trusted partner for enterprises seeking high standard and scalable blockchain solutions.
