Kenyans who have never left Kenya need to start traveling to these two countries that they think are so amazing.
I"ve never been to Russia, but I have been to China and it's a shithole. Anyone thinking it'll become a world power in our lifetime or other lifetime has simply never been to china. China has two sets of laws -- one set of laws for communist party members and another set of laws for everyone else. It's a police state. Take a walk in any city in China and you'll see it.
Russia is a mafia state. No democracy, no rule of law...a mafia state ruled by Putin and his thugs. This is why nobody trusts the ruble or the yuan (you cannot trust currencies of gangster states where there's no rule of law, no democracy, no open societies and where things are hidden.
You can tell how popular a country is by the number of people that want to immigrate there (where are china and russia on that list?)
