November 22, 2007: China
has become the tyrants friend in Africa, eagerly providing weapons to nations
that have been turned down by all other arms exporting nations. Zimbabwe has
received inexpensive tanks and jet fighters from China, as well as large
quantities of small arms and police equipment. Sudan has also bought tanks and
fighters, as well as artillery and lots of small arms and ammo. China is mainly
interested in making deals to obtain oil and other raw materials in Africa. To
do that, China ignores how the people in charge run their countries, as long as
they stay in charge and ship the goods, and pay for what they buy, on time.
Strictly business.
