Modern China, with an effective government, succeeds in advancing its interests. It infiltrates other countries through cultural diplomacy and the Deng Xiaoping advice on geo-strategic stealth. China displayed this strategy in two events in Nairobi attended by Chinese and Kenyan ministers.

First was the launching of the Kiswahili version of Xi Jinping's Governance of China at University of Nairobi's Confucius Institute and second was in showcasing China Media Group, CMG, activities in Africa and the world.
