Iv been wondering why some Kenyan people hata hapa, journalists and politicians talk much praise of China. Kumbe there is a reason behind it!!!!
Further, China is purchasing the silence of African media by investing millions in private African media companies, offering press junkets and free trips to China to African journalists, and controlling what Black people are allowed to write and say in Africa. “It is private media companies that have most effectively become vehicles for forwarding the interests of the Chinese state, in cahoots with local elites,” as Foreign Policy reports.
African experts are used to further China’s propaganda program, paint a positive picture of relations between China and African people, and deny the existence of Chinese anti-African racism. For example, China Xinhua News recently featured Nigerian China expert Charles Onanaiju of the Centre for China Studies (CCS), an Abuja-based Think Tank, and an advisor to the Beijing-based China Africa Institute. Onanaiju argued that Africans should appreciate China for their friendship and for fighting against racism and colonialism. Similarly, a Kenyan expert claims the treatment of Africans in Guangzhou was overplayed by Western media, and that “the Chinese authorities were within their mandate to ensure that there is no group that is going to bring the virus back
