Just a piece about a looming downside of Chian in Africa.
PRETORIA, South Africa - Chinese President
Hu Jintao is in Africa bearing the usual gifts of money for soccer stadiums and interest-free loans. But he also has brought a new recognition of the downside of China's aggressive quest for the continent's resources.
These include tensions over mounting trade imbalances, the practices of some Chinese investors and the risks of doing business with rogue states.
Unmentioned, as Beijing adds luster to Africa's renewed status as a strategic ally, is the possibility of a dispute with the United States as the two vie for resources and influence on the continent. Another source of possible conflict is China's arms sales to countries accused of human rights violations.
