A recent two-week journey through China by Kenyan media managers and editors revealed a significant gap in Kenyan reporting: the absence of ordinary Chinese people in narratives dominated by government and infrastructure projects. The trip, which covered cities like Beijing, Ningbo, and Jiaxing, highlighted the familiar daily lives of Chinese citizens, mirroring those in Kenya.

• An estimated 38,000 Chinese citizens reside in Kenya, making it the third-largest Chinese population in Africa.
• The Kenya Editors Guild (KEG) collaborated with the organizers of the seminar for Kenyan media managers.
• The article emphasizes that technology, such as WeChat Pay, is integrated into everyday transactions, similar to Kenya's M-PESA.
