A panda hugging a giraffe to promote a new direct flight from Nairobi to
Guangzhou.

At the Dar Es Salaam airport, ads everywhere for a safari, all written in
Chinese.

In our plane, at least ten Chinese business men.

On a sunny day, a traditional music playing in the parking lot (full of
expenses SUVs), the Tanzania anti-corruption program received two millions
dollars in computers and printers from the Chinese embassy.

In every sub-Saharians Africa countries I’ve been I could see the Chinese
presence, but not as much as in Tanzania.

To read on Chinafrique (as we call it in France, with reference to La
Françafique), I recommend you this really interesting book (in French) : La
Chinarique, by Serge Michel and Michel Beuret.
