Why China’s fast turnaround gives its projects an edge in Kenya over the West

A Kenyan investment agency says most projects signed off in 2025, including a steel processing plant were either operational or being built

These included the US$150 million (1 billion yuan) Rongtai Steel processing plant in Machakos, just outside Nairobi; the US$300 million Shandong Jialejia hatching facility in Kajiado, south of the capital; and the China Wu Yi Special Economic Zone in Kilifi, on the Kenyan coast.
