Sub-Sahara Africa has been at the whim of Western nations for hundreds of years. Developing relations with Western powers hasn't work out for them so far, so why not look for an alternative? Asian nations, China and India especially, are in a unique position to build relationships with African nations without the history and exploitations that was experienced from Western countries.

Surely China has nothing to do with the tribal violence going on there...or the renewed financial vigor of Robert Mugabe.

America and the Bush administration turned the purchase of a small American oil company by China. China has since gone on its way and will spend its enormous dollar reserves elsewhere. This economy cannot survivie such enormous growth without cultivating new energy and natural resource options. China's smartest move to date has been the African Summit here (http://tinyurl.com/2dxvou) involving 45 nations. The U.S. and the EU have happily drained the Niger Delta's resources while common folks there have starved, supported corruption via present and past oppresive regimes and turned a blind eye to preventable genocide (Rwanda) and then laughably reprimanded China, during the summit, for entertaining despots among the delegates. Great post: We cannot take any moral high ground on this one as our economic, diplomatic,humanitarian and military to interventions have been dismal failures. We wouldt do well to pay closer attention to China's foreign policy strategies. China is being incredibly smart in relation to other developing areas.
