Cooperação: China promove encontro em Lisboa para estabelecer parcerias com países lusófonos
Lisboa, 09 Nov (Lusa) - A sessão plenária do 5º encontro Global China Business Meeting vai reunir terça-feira, em Lisboa, cerca de duas centenas de empresários e representantes oficiais para estabelecer parcerias internacionais com os países lusófonos.
Critics point out that China’s most valuable relationships are with oil producers such as Angola, Sudan and Nigeria or with mineral-rich countries such as Zambia or Democratic Republic of Congo. Oil accounted for 70 per cent of African imports to China last year; proof, critics say, that China is interested only in stripping Africa to supply its energy needs.

On the eve of the summit Mr Wen rebutted these arguments. “Energy co-operation is just one area. In no way has China come to Africa solely for its energy resources,” he said.

In this contemporary “Scramble for Africa”, China is the lead player.

Western human rights groups and officials say that China has shown little regard for human rights in its dealings with the more controversial governments in Africa.

China backs Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir (wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed in Darfur), has provided financial support to President Mugabe of Zimbabwe and last month signed a multibillion-dollar mining deal with the military junta in Guinea soon after soldiers massacred opposition protestors and raped women on the streets of the capital, Conakry.

China bridles at the accusations, and yesterday Mr Wen reiterated its policy of non-interference in the affairs of African states.

“The Chinese government and people have always respected the autonomous right of the African people to choose their own social systems. China’s support and aid for Africa has never and will never attach any political conditions,” he said.
