“一带一路”倡议下中肯文化融合的可持续性

Abstract:Synthesizing cultures to determine dominant traits and their comparison between countries on impact of joint economic venture has elicited less interest. The Paper aimed to trigger theoretical discourse on cultural synthesis comparing China and Kenya relating dominant cultural traits to sustainability of Belt and Road Initiative. Among other cultural dimension measurements，Hofstede’s model was considered more favourable lest globalization，religion，long term orientation and indulgence cultural parameters that were missing on the Kenyan context. Resultant cultural synthesis depicts that Chinese and Kenyan cultures are diverse in power distance and uncertainty avoidance but similar under individualism，masculinity hence the cultural link to sustainability of BRI is problematic，however this would be unlocked by ongoing China support to Kenya in mitigating COVID-19 pandemic and setting up of a Kenya culture centre in China with the similar style of the Confucius institutes in Kenya.
