The BBC reports China's increasing influence in Africa:
"Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing is sweeping through Africa on a concerted charm offensive - signing economic deals, raising Beijing's diplomatic profile and highlighting along the way China's newly trumpeted policy of strategic partnership with Africa. There is no doubt of Africa's importance in fuelling China's remarkable growth.
"China's rapacious energy needs are increasingly shaping its foreign policy, especially in regions like Africa, rich in natural resources and eager for investment.

But what do Africans themselves think of the country's rapid rise? Nigerian blogger Chippla Vandu remains sceptical but offers this:
"China is surely interested in Africa's immense natural resources. But unlike Europe and America, China would not be coming to obtain such resources while turning a blind eye to the despicably pathetic poverty that plagues large parts of Africa south of the Sahara. After all, China is a developing country with a per capita GDP lower than those of South Africa, Botswana and Namibia."
US influence is waning on the continent - "forget about America. All it does is buy Nigeria's oil and nothing more" - but will China be any different?

I think it's as much strategic as anything. Africa may account for a pissant quantity of world GDP, but it's got lots of countries each with a UN vote.
China's leaders turns a blind eye to the despicably pathetic poverty that plagues large parts of China.
It will be the same in Africa. They will buy African leaders, just as other nations did.
Taranto is a prick rejitex, and so are you.
Corrie will be remembered as a great member of the Darwin club.
Thank God there will be no little Corries aiding and abetting palestinian terrorists.
As long as you run around thinking that aiding palestinian terrorists is not a crime...
Regardless, Corrie was a hate filled moron who died because of her own stupidity, unable to get out of the way of a speeding bulldozer moving at 6 miles an hour.
A college degree from Evergreen is now being seen as a liability.
I don't have to. Read the court transcripts.
Regardless of the outcome, the transcripts contain the answers to your questions.
They are not the answers that you imagine in your fetid mind. But what can you expect from the truth?
I am saying that _01 continues to strew bulladdamo.
Yes, I believe it was hijacked by an accidental posting by rejitex. Both myself and shabadoo attempted to place it back on track, but you know when the antisemites on this blog get their teeth in something, you can't shake them off.
Glenn, the ape man, and _01 started throwing addamo every which way in an attempt to further their personal agendas. That ended all attempts to right the thread and what was left was just trying to contain the addamo before it got out of hand.
Thank you for steering it back to the China syndrome. It is indeed political.
Ibra,
You appear incapable of mounting any argument without resorting to name-calling or 'anti-Semitism.' Your paranoia is astounding.
Perhaps it's time to take this attitude elsewhere. Stay on topic, and drop the abuse...

Wiping the addamo off this blog is not fruitless at all. Every time your particular lies are exposed, some one else sees the light.
I feel pretty good about that. Tough titty for you though, in all honesty.
By the way, are you tired of kissing eddie's ass and are moving on to AL's?
Since I haven't lost anything, your little speech was worthless.
But since you've already been outed, there is no telling to what lengths your delution will grow.
Since you have failed to come up with anything resembling a point, you have been reduced to spam?
It is a favorite tactic for those who glean their info from white supremist and islamofascist sites.
Never expected to to actually admit to it. But your writing reveals that you actually do. How's your buddy Zundel doing?
Thanks for letting us know how ignorant you are. But you're not ignorant, are you? Hmmm.....
And how's your buddy Irving?
Your mentor, david. Like you, someone who twists the facts in order to support an antisemitic agenda.
