“ #China is not buying Africa, it is building #Africa ” is the view from Beijing. How is this landing with local audiences? There have been hints of a cooling down of Sino-African friendship. For this episode, #TheGlobalJigsaw travels to the Kenyan capital Nairobi to get a sense of #Chinese influence on the ground, and understand why #Beijing has chosen it as a hub for its media operation in Africa.
