    Historical ties spanning several centuries ... a Kenyan girl's journey to pursue her dreams ...
    Nearly 20 years ago, Mwamaka Sharifu, a Kenyan girl, traveled to China to study Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now, she returns again to Taicang, Suzhou City, to seek professional assistance and inspiration as she plans to open a TCM clinic in Kenya. Thanks to the long-standing friendship between China and Kenya and opportunities brought by the Belt and Road Initiative, Mwamaka Sharifu's life has been transformed and is ushering in a new adventure.

    When the Chinese came they bring knowledge and cooperation but when the Western imperialists came they conquered and colonized. Western imperialism the bane of humanity!

    Chinese involvement in Africa has lifted many people from poverty. Millions of Africans have been lifted from poverty through Chinese built infrastructure, cheaper communication devices like mobile phones and, low cost machinery that can be used for value addition, cheaper motorcycles that have given millions of young people a chance to start own transport businesses etc.

      In a different context, it's a whole world now.
      Kenya was trading with China in the Ming dynasty, as was with Indian mogul empire and the sultan of Oman and Kings of Portugal.
      Business not handouts, but the incomplete railway to malaba rubbed off wrong, almost as a strategy
