| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to examine the role of China-Kenya’s relation in
terms of investment, trade, diplomacy and aid. The study explores China’s foreign policy
in general, then moves to tackle China-Africa relations and China’s diplomatic relations
with Kenya. The type of research design that was used for this study was the explanatory
design. The data collection tools for the secondary data that was used were information
gathering, and document analysis. The main study issues that follow are divided into five
sections and section one explores China’s foreign policy, China-Africa relations and boils
down to diplomatic relation between China and Kenya. Section two examines Chinese
investment in Europe and other developed economies, is also provides some data on what
kind of investments is being undertaken. Section three examines China-Africa trade
relations. It also examines the loss and gain relation resulting from the trade venture. They
also affirm that the no strings-attached aid policy pursued by the Chinese leads to a
decrease in the strain on governments to advance on issues such as human rights. The
above trend conforms to the hypothesis that Chinese relation with African countries aims
at achieving tangible developmental results and the terms are favourable. China views
Kenya as a gateway to East African region and is a focal point in terms of China’s trade
and economic strategy in Africa. | en_US |
