| 2009-05-16 |
| The Communist Party of China (CPC) will intensify the relationship with all friendly parties in Sudan, a senior CPC official said in Beijing on Wednesday. Wang Gang, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks when meeting with a delegation of Sudan's political parties. The visiting delegation, which consists of members from six Sudan's political parties, is headed by Mohamed Al-Mahadi Mandor, political secretary of Sudan's ruling party National Congress and member of the party's bureau of leadership. Wang said the visit reflected not only the high value put by Sudan's major political parties on developing relationship with China, but also the unity of the parties, both of which China appreciated. He said the CPC attaches great importance to advancing contacts with Sudan's political parties, and will step up relationship with all friendly parties in Sudan, in accordance with the principles of independence, complete equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Wang said China and Sudan have been enjoying sincerity and mutual support in developing bilateral relationship, since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1959. The CPC will play an active role in cementing China-Sudan friendship of cooperation, said Wang. The delegation started the China visit on Tuesday. |

| #5 BBC 11/2007 This latest wave of Chinese migrants - thought to total up to 750,000 - is not the first to have travelled to Africa. In the 1960s, China's communist leader Mao Zedong forged close links with the continent in a bid to garner political support. But the Chinese who have moved to Africa in the last 10 years are going for economic, not political reasons as they did under Mao. |

| #4 Beso, I wonder about those numbers too. China DOES have a large presence in the oil fields of Sudan, and in the mines to the south, but not that kind of numbers. But if you take the work 'citizens' out, then a million is way too small; ethnic Chinese dominate commerce all along the east coast and have for a hundred years. No idea what kind of family connections they have with the China of the CPC. |
