China, in the past decade, has been criticized by Western media for its economic and political involvement in Africa. From the infrastructure projects led by Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative to over one million of Chinese work and live in Africa, China’s globalization is starting to attract the educated global citizen and they desire to context beyond economic figures. VOA’s Abby Sun spoke to Jidi Guo, an independent filmmaker, about her experience producing “Behind the Belt”, a short documentary film about China’s cultural influence in Kenya. Guo spoke about the cultural mismatch she witnessed firsthand in Kenya and how this documentary has fulfilled her by providing a platform for people living in this culture clash to have more constructive dialogue.
