How has Chinese money improved Darfur's situation? You mean how China says "have a palace, President of Darfur, just call off the janjaweed on those blacks?" That's good, I guess. However, if China does this kind of thing for every despot in Africa, then guess what? Now all those African despots have an independent source of income and they can use that to hire troops to reinforce their corrupt regimes.
