China Square on Monday, March 6, resumed operations after resolving an agreement between the Kenyan Government and Chinese traders.

In addition, the Kenya China Chamber of Commerce (KCCC) applauded the Kenyan government’s decision to permit Chinese traders to resume operations.
“We welcome the good news on the resumption of operations of China Square. This follows several engagements between the Kenya Government and the Chinese Community in Kenya to reach an amicable solution to the stalemate,” the Chinese Chamber of Commerce stated.
The group further welcomed the government’s support in allowing the Chinese community to do business in Kenya adding that it would contribute to the growth of the Kenyan economy.
“Chinese businesses will contribute to Kenya’s growth and development efforts through employment creation and contribution to Kenya’s tax revenue,” the statement added.

The Chinese traders added that they expected equal and fair treatment across all their businesses to allow them a conducive environment for their businesses.
“We look forward to equal and fair treatment of all businesses across the board to ensure a conducive business environment for all and promote cordial relations based on mutual trust and benefit,” the traders added.
China Square closed indefinitely Sunday, February 26 following remarks by Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on February 24, that he intended to lock out Chinese traders from the UniCity Mall.
Kuria stated that China Square would encourage the entry of Chinese traders into the countries who would take up opportunities that would have otherwise been left for Kenyans.
