Resumen:
China?s intention to go global has been clear since Xi Jinping assumed power, displaying its grand strategy. Infrastructure projects supporting physical connectivity revealChina?s policies to expand its actions beyond the regional environment and consolidate its power projection. The Going Out policy has been the tool to back up Chineseinvestments in infrastructure, and African countries have offered a good opportunityto show what can be done in an almost bare terrain. Nigeria and Kenya are good examples to empirically demonstrate China?s intentions, as they have railway remodelling orconstruction projects underway.
