In that article, the DRC investigated the companies and informed the Chinese of their decision. The Chinese also investigated the companies and found that they are guilty as well. In short, the DRC government is proactive in their investigation, and the Chinese, unlike the Western nations, cooperated with them. Based on that, if the bribes claim in Kenya is true, the Kenyan government needs to step it up Instead of expecting everyone else to do the dirty work for them.

Are the Chinese companies in Kenya government-owned?
There is a mix of Chinese SOE’s and private companies in Kenya. Also while I did a check on that, I found this:
In short, it seems that the Kenyan government is functional. That only furthers my point: the Chinese don’t need to do s**t; the local governments need to enforce their law, and the Chinese will cooperate. Otherwise, it’s all legal, and those claims of bribery may only be equivalent to the Trump-era claims of voter fraud.

I don't know if the Chinese SOEs were lucky when compared with:
Wion news though. Not exactly reputable and very anti-China.
Taiwan and the US can play all these games till the end of time. However they must have forgotten that China also exists. Its ok, let them dance and party while China is quietly working behind the scenes.

So you went from China needs to order it's companies to stop bribing officials in Kenya to China needs to do better PR to China is doing fine on PR.
Your switch in position is dizzying.
Well let's try to dissect this:
First, you say China should have an anti-corruption law for overseas companies and just not enforce it. Okay, have you actually done any research to see if China already has such a law? My guess is no, because China most definitely does prosecute overseas companies for violating local laws provided local authorities provides enough evidence to determine guilt. So again, the onus is not on China but on the local authorities.
As for China's PR, don't kid yourself, those Galwan videos are for Indian authorities. They're not going to have much of any reach among the regular public. As for CGTN, they now have a couple of million subscribers on YouTube, whereas a couple of years ago they were only a fraction of that. So you want to see a more successful channel than CGTN? CGTN put in massive amounts of work to get where they are today, and somehow you think China can just magically pop out a more influential channel?
