The China Africa Research Initiative published in February 2021 a paper titled "Private Security Companies in Kenya and the Impact of Chinese Actors" by Shuwen Zheng, World Bank, and Ying Xia, private researcher.
The paper examines the development and impact of Chinese private security companies (PSCs) in Kenya. It concludes that Chinese engagement in overseas security protection is far behind other sectors. The failure to hold a larger market share is due to fierce competition among PSCs and Chinese investor's ignorance about security needs.
