Gansu Troupe Brings Lunar New Year Pageant to Nairobi, a Quiet Moment of Sino‑African Cultural Diplomacy

A cultural troupe from China’s Gansu province performed a Lunar New Year show at Nairobi’s national theatre on February 9, part of a broader Chinese festival tour in Africa. The visit illustrates how provincial cultural missions are being used as a low‑cost tool of soft power to support broader Sino‑African ties and public diplomacy.
