Africa: WikiLeaks cable on Chinese ICT agenda

The latest US cable released by Wikileaks accuses Chinese ICT companies doing business in Kenya of 're-colonising Africa' with 'good and cheap' equipment. The US embassy cable, from Nairobi to Washington, says Chinese firms selling into Kenya’s ICT sector are 'throwing a lot of money around' and influence may be so great 'that it is distorting important investment decisions in the country', according to industry contacts.
