Al-Shabaab is one of the world’s most dynamic jihadist organizations and has taken a decidedly anti-China stance in its propaganda and through attacks on Chinese nationals throughout the region.

In 2019, Shabaab attacked Chinese work facilities in Kenya, and, in February 2020, the group was repelled during an attempted attack on a Chinese construction site near the Kenya-Somalia border.
