"China pledges $10b in loans to Africa" by Associated Press | November 9, 2009
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - China’s premier yesterday pledged $10 billion in new low interest loans to African nations over three years, offering the beleaguered continent sorely needed cash while dismissing criticism that Beijing’s motives in Africa are far from altruistic.
As opposed to the mass-murdering, nation-invading, war criminal USraelis, right?

Do those documents read of altruism?
Wen Jiabao’s promise at the start of a two-day China-Africa summit was warmly received by African leaders and officials, most of whose nations confront a miasma of despair accentuated by a global financial crisis only now showing signs of abating.
Now I understand why the agenda-pushing western MSM is upset.
“The Chinese people cherish sincere friendship toward the African people, and China’s support to Africa’s development is concrete and real,’’ Wen said at a forum that attracted leaders such as Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir - who faces an international arrest warrant - and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe. Both are heads of state out-of-favor with the West.
Yeah, we won't mention all the dictators WE SUPPORT at this time.
Btw, Mugabe used to be one of ours, America.
Wen said China wants to help Africa build its financing capacity and would provide $10 billion in concessional loans - ones with generous terms.
As opposed to the USURIOUS and DEBT-DROWNING World Bank, IMF, or Federal Reserve loans!
As part of an eight-point plan, he said China would also forgive government debts of the poorest African nations that have relations with Beijing and would build 100 new clean energy projects for the continent. It would also gradually institute a zero-tariff policy on 95 percent of goods from some of the poorest countries.
No wonder the Africans are applauding them.
The latest offer marks a doubling of the $5 billion loan pledge China made in 2006 to African nations. In the past eight years, trade between China and Africa has surged tenfold to almost $107 billion by the end of 2008. But China’s inroads into Africa have drawn accusations by some in the West that the Asian powerhouse has ignored Africa’s needs and the dismal rights records of some nations while looking only to sap the continent of the resources it needs to fuel its bustling economy.
Isn't that what the West has been doing all these years?
And surely the Chinese can not be making things worse

Update:
This is why China must be destabilized by the CIA, readers.
BEIJING - China accuses US-based Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer and other overseas Uighur rights groups of fomenting and stage-managing the violence, but it has released no direct evidence.
Not that the MSM would tell us about some spook operation:
"Covert action programs, a particularly secret category in which the role of the United States is hidden"
Kadeer has denied the allegation and criticized the violence, but she says the July fighting was a result of pent-up frustrations about discrimination and government efforts to subvert Uighur religion and culture. The government insists that Uighurs have benefited from Xinjiang’s rapid economic development, but activists say most of the benefits have gone to Han migrants who have flooded into the region in recent years. Hard-liners among the Uighurs have long waged a simmering insurgency against Chinese rule, and Beijing has responded with harsh tactics to squelch occasional bombings, sabotage, and assassinations....
All the HALLMARKS on an "l-CIA-Duh" operation, if you know what I mean!
