Kenyan Immigration Department Deports Racist Sonlink CEO Liu Jiaqi, Chinese Embassy Speaks Out
The Immigration Department has finally deported a Chinese national who was videotaped making racist comments about Kenyans and insulting President Kenyatta.
Immigration officials confirmed on Thursday afternoon that Sonlink Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Liu Jiaqi has been kicked out of the country. Sonlink is a company that sells motorcycles and is located along the Northern Bypass in Ruiru, Kiambu County.
In a statement earlier in the day, Chinese embassy spokesperson Zhang Gang condemned the remarks by the man terming them as unfortunate.
“The personal talk and personal feeling of this young man does not represent the views of the vast majority of Chinese people."
“The Chinese Embassy always requires the Chinese companies and individuals to abide by the local law, stay and work legally in Kenya, making positive contribution to the friendship and cooperation between China and Kenya,” read part of the statement.
This is not the first time Chinese citizens are being accused of racism. In July, Kenyans working at the Standard Gauge Railway project alluded to racial discrimination and harassment by their Chinese bosses.
A probe by the ministry of Labor confirmed the claims, and the government promised to deal with the matter.

lol, did they allow you to sell the remaining stock of your motorbikes? I bet not. Mali ya nyani sasa.
Having watched the Chinky video, my take is that it is Fake; and if not Fake, then it's Real by Translation "from Chinese to English". Why? Because his Lips and Words (even Accent) do NOT see Eye-to-Eye.
It is still beyond me to understand the rationale that a chinees can come to Kenya (YOUR COUNTRY)AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST KENYANS IN KENYA?)You make yourselves look like a joke.
He deserved to serve time in Kenyan jails like Kamiti before being deported.
It is quite shocking to have a foreigner who is racist to Kenyans travel to Kenya and run his business. He even said that all he cared for was the money. What kind of customer service is that?! If he focused on customer satisfaction without bias am sure he would have flourished in Kenya but let him go back to China with his non-sense! I would bet you he is now blacklisted to not get any visa to a lot of other countries.
@Onesmus Ochuonyo: Siyo mila zetu kufunga binadamu jela. Kabla Waingereza hawajaja Kenya, hakukuwa na jela yoyote mahali popote katika nchi ya Kenya.Lakini ni muhimu pia, tusiwe watu wa misimamo mingi (double standard).
Ndugu Liu anafukuzwa Kenya kwa sababu ya kutumia "lugha isiyofaa, yaani matusi." Nasi twafaa kutoa mfano bora duniani kwa kutotumia lugha isiyofaa mahali popote kwenye jamhuri yetu bial ubaguzi. Kwa hiyo, nawauliza viongozi wote wa Kenya na wananchi wote wa Kenya kuwacha matumizi yote ya lugha isiyofaa/matusi mahali popote au wakati wowote.
@DMwose: Wachina hawakujileta Kenya. Waliingia
Kenya kutokana na mwaliko wa Ndugu Uhuru na Ruto. Usisahau ya kwamba katika hoteli/mkahawa wao, walichinja mbwa na kuwauzia wananchi wa Kenya nyama ya mbwa.
Ndugu Liu anafaa kupewa pesa za biashara yake asije akasema watu wote wa nchi ya Kenya ni "wezi."
Msisahau ya kwamba, Uhuru aliwaalika Wafrika kutoka nchi za Afrika zote ili waje nchini mwetu kufanya biashara mwaka uliopita bila "Visa."
Kusema kweli Chama cha siasa cha "Jubilee" kitaangamiza nchi yetu.
Hehehehe good job matiangi.Thou Many of us here complaining r always discriminated abused by the countries we leave at n don’t do anything juu ya kuweka pesa mbele.Trump always talk shit about blacks Africans in USA n can somebody tell me what do they do???
its not just the Chinese but practically every light skinned foreigner who comes to Kenya is treated like a small God by inferiority complex sick bribe taking govt officials and other Kenyans who have chronic self hatred,just go to places like village market,and you are looked a t as if you don't belong their. Look at the way Kenyan employees are treated like trash by a certain light skinned ethnic community which is notorious for tax evasion and offering bribes.My fellow Kenyan s no matter how bad the economy gets, you have a country you can call you own.safeguard it at all costs for the future of your children.Out grandfathers and mother's paid the ultimate price for fight mubeberu,so you must take a stand,don't worry about the cons you elected who forgot about you and who have never sacrificed anything for the sake of others,and who don't care about what happens to this country as long as they are getting money daily.It is sad but God is with us.
