The reality of China
01.02.2006
http://www.pambazuka.org/index.php?id=30110 refers to China financing construction of the Bui hydro-electric project. This project will serve primarily as a vehicle for corrupt payments by China, undermining such efforts as exist in Ghana to improve governance, particularly in the extractive industries. In the past this project was touted to EU arms manufacturers as a means to cover the financing of weapons/fighter jet purchases. China is Congo's (Brazzaville) main supplier of arms - and its main supplier of white elephant construction projects. I urge you to look into the reality of what China is trying to do.
