Kenyan President William Ruto is in China for a state visit at the invitation of President Xi Jinping, where the two leaders agreed to elevate bilateral ties to a "China-Kenya community with a shared future for the new era."

In Kenya's Nzoia River basin, bamboo is proving to be a game-changer in flood control and ecosystem restoration. Through a China-Kenya collaboration, local communities are learning to use bamboo's deep roots to prevent soil erosion and slow floodwaters, enhancing climate resilience and food security. The transferring of crucial bamboo technology and skills is also improving local livelihoods. Two experts directly involved in the initiative walk us through this innovative project.

On air March 9th, 2020. Recorded March 7th, 2020. This week, I sat down with my good friend April Zhu to talk about her recent article for The Elephant on sinophobia and the coronavirus. Both of these topics have been discussed to the point of exhaustion in recent months (including on this very podcast), but April's unique position as a Chinese American, Nairobi-based journalist who fluently speaks three languages (English, Mandarin, and Swahili) brings to the table some new points to consider: namely, what does anti-Chinese sentiment actually mean when Chinese people are the ones in power? Where do localized and derogatory-but-maybe-not-actually-racist terms like chinkuu come from, and how do we reconcile with their actually-racist (and actually-Western) roots? And how is a person like April — a person with a Chinese face and name living in Kenya — supposed to feel about it all? I had such a great time catching up. and picking the brain of one of the smartest people I know, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. If you've ever wondered what anti-Asian racism looks like in a place where Asians are the oppressors, this episode is a must-listen. April Zhu (朱萸) is a freelance journalist based in Nairobi, Kenya. Her work focuses on gender, urban inequality, and China-Kenya as seen from the margin. Her byline has appeared in the South China Morning Post Magazine, CS Monitor, African Arguments, The New Humanitarian, VICE, BRIGHT Magazine, The Elephant, and others. She reports in Swahili and Mandarin and has designed a curriculum for foreigners learning Kenyan Swahili called Swahii, available as an online course. She holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Studio Art from Wellesley College. Connect with her on Twitter (@aprzhu) and at her website (aprzhu.com).

Ambassador Wu recently sat down with BBC journalist Dickens Olewe for an interview at the embassy in Nairobi. During the interview, they discussed some of the most sensitive issues that confront the China-Kenya relationship today. Dickens joins Eric to provide a bit of background on how he was able to secure the interview and what he thought of Ambassador Wu’s responses to questions about transparency, racism and whether China is engaging in predatory lending in Africa.

Chinese ambassadors in Africa rarely grant one-on-one interviews with international journalists. But that's starting to change now, particularly as a few Chinese envoys are making themselves more accessible to the press and on social media platforms like Twitter. Two ambassadors are especially noteworthy in this area: Lin Songtian in South Africa and Wu Peng in Kenya.
