African opinions about the Beijing summitPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 7, 2006 12:41 PM
The Chinese government has communicated its commitments to Africa on the state-owned Xinhua news service — see this Danwei post or browse around Xinhua's special minisite dedicated to it. Here are some African reports and reactions to the summit. Kenya's The East African: We have read Africa's future, and it is written in Chinese... South Africa's Mail and Guardian: China in Africa: Boon or burden? Uganda's East African Business Week: Africa: 2,500 Deals Cut in China Ghana's Public Agenda: Africa: China's New Scramble for Africa, It Is a Fact of Life, Says President Kufuor South Africa's Independent: Mbeki urges 'fair' play in China deal South Africa's Business Day: Hu says China’s relationship with Zimbabwe unshakable AllAfrica.com: China-Africa Relations reader forum There does not seem to be much reaction from African blogs; see the African blog aggregator BlogAfrica — not much there.
