The Communist Party of Kenya believes that China is the future of planet.

African people have a lot of similarities with the Chinese Revolution. Kenya has a shared history as China was colonized by the most brutal imperialist forces that were the Japanese at that time, and Kenya was colonized by the British.

In Africa, the British have continued to dominate these countries by giving loans and putting unnecessary bureaucracy stamps on Kenya’s development. By remaining the permanent ally of the British and the United States, Kenya experienced a lot of under-development. It was not until the arrival of China, which disrupted predatory relationships they had nurtured, that the United States financial and capital organizations like IMF and World Bank became jealous. Even then, it did not change things: further proving their agenda.

In contrast, look at the effect of the Chinese presence in Africa: China has accelerated development in terms of infrastructure. It removed bureaucracies and even reviewed the loan arrangement between African countries. For example, they have substantially reduced Angola’s poverty index. Therefore, the supremacy of the management of the Chinese community under the Communist Party of China has proven to bring progressive development.

For many Kenyans and Africans, China is a country to admire. And if any flaws are in the Chinese socialist experiment, it would be very irresponsible for us to criticize those flaws based on racist bigotry and advance racism by profiling the Chinese people in our country.

CPK sees a lot of possibilities with the Chinese capital in Africa, CPK knows a lot of cultural similarities with the Chinese people, and CPK has no hostility towards China. CPK will want to perfect the relationship with the Chinese people.

There can be excesses in terms of the access given to Chinese companies working in Kenya. But those excesses must be treated on their merit. The problem we face when it comes to this is that there is a lot of Western-sponsored anti-Chinese propaganda in Kenya. The big media house in Kenya and the international media stations in the country like BBC and CNN are here to parrot against China and the Chinese’s socialist experiment.

It is not just the media propaganda that muddies the water. CPK also has a big challenge with the attacks sponsored by Western non-governmental organizations that set the African people against the Chinese.

However, the Communist Party of Kenya is happy that they have been losing, and China has proven to be a genuine friend. For example, when facing an electoral process in Kenya, people did not see the Chinese Secretary-General or leadership trying to interfere. After all, the Chinese people have an extraordinary policy towards Africa: the policy of non-interference.

The Communist Party of Kenya will not mind a CPC interfering or doing an intervention in Kenyan politics so long as they can advance CPK’s struggle politically. However, CPK still takes it in peace that their policy of non-interference in Africa has contributed enormously in terms of people-to-people love between the two great heroic nations.

CPK would look forward to learning from brothers and sisters in China. CPK wants to learn from their mistakes and continue to build our socialist experiment here on the continent. CPK will build Kenya’s revolution in Kenya and build alliances with other left-wing organizations in Africa.

In that way, CPK can have a United African continent based on a clear pro-people, scientific, socialist policy, which is the objective of the Communist Party of Kenya.
