I'm surprised that Kenya is not in the list. Very high English proficiency and a large industry that does assignments for American students

  > Probably the chinese immigrants and not the kenyans themselves Absolutely not. Kenya's ICT industry is very robust and home grown. Kenyan companies like M-Pesa and Safaricom are fairly competitive, and I think Kenya's tech industry is at the same position India's was in the 2000s and is set to take off. In fact, nowadays Kenyan ICT companies have begun expanding the tech industry in Uganda and Tanzania. Also, Chinese investment in Kenya is low. Indian investment tends to be much more prominent. Heck, President Ruto's campaign advisory team was from the same company the BJP uses [0], and the second largest source of FDI in Kenya after the UK is India's Marutius backdoor [1]. You're more likely to see Chinese investment in Ethiopia or DRC, not really Anglophone East Africa where Indian, South African, a d UAE firms/investors can outcompete Chinese investors due to stronger business (and family) connections. Surprisingly, in Lusaphone countries like Angola and Mozambique, Vietnamese players like Viettel have a strong presence in the ICT industry, which I think might be due to Military support from their revolutionary era (Viettel is owned by the VPA). ---------- Also, this ranking is from IMD - an unaccredited degree mill posing as a business school in Lausanne that coasts off it's reputation from when it was an executive training program for Nestle before the 1990s. Switzerland has a big issue with unaccredited business schools.

    And that's how you propose the wrong answer and get the right one ;-)

  Probably the Kenyans themselves (as a Kenyan born and raised),yes Chinese migrants are there but there number are negligible. Most of them are contractors who build infrastructure. Also anecdotal evidence,i know a couple of people work online
