The mainstream in contemporary Africa wants to be part of a world in which power is exercised with sense of respectable leadership responsibility. For Africans, as we become more deeply involved with China, while pursuing realization of our aspirations for more perfect democracies, we don’t want to see our major partner in development constantly in conflict with the global mainstream on issues of human rights and non-aggression– such as standing up for North Korea and Sudan. However those of use who have been following Sino-African relations since the Mao era are well aware of China's long term support for Africa since the days of our liberation struggles and from the very beginning of the post-colonial era.<br />Muhammed KamilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468924808846341673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-48083136323934675342010-08-26T01:29:08.850-04:002010-08-26T01:29:08.850-04:00@Dan,

Because Chinese leadership don't believe free market in terms of food product, and no country can rescue a 1.3 billion nation when food crisis happens. China now is the largest producer of many food products in the world, and a net food donor under UN.<br /><br />When food shortage happens, government can ban food product from export. That's what happened recently in Russia. I think that's legitimate. Actually every country should produce most of their food if possible and have a plan for food crisis. <br /><br />weiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-66761184265232880842010-08-25T17:59:07.011-04:002010-08-25T17:59:07.011-04:00In The Dragon's Gift, I report how many small ...In The Dragon's Gift, I report how many small farmers in the Lusaka area resent the competition in the retail market from Chinese farmers (not really a newcomer, as CSFAC has been in Zambia since 1990).
