What China is doing in Kenya and Africa is progressive; from helping to manage conflict to building infrastructure and bringing medical necessities and other services.

Yet, the extent of China's activity in Africa cannot be ignored. A healthy transaction considers growth and equal benefits for the parties involved. That said, the question arises: How is China benefiting from its involvement in Africa? This question leads me to explore the possibility that China's intentions in Africa are not so generous.
