...Jiabao's whistle-stop tour through Africa last week marked the third visit to the continent by top Chinese leaders this year. Since January, Premier Wen, President Hu Jintao and Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing have traveled to a total of 15 African countries. Why? Hu insisted during his Congo trip that "China is not seeking selfish interests" in Africa. But with the country's insatiable thirst for energy, Africa has swiftly become one of its key business partners: trade between China and Africa jumped 37% to $40 billion in 2005, and Angola was China's top provider of crude...
...Ahmadinejad responded by warning SCO nations against "domineering powers [who] use their force against and interfere in the affairs of other states." Still, the regional conference could prove useful in curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. After meeting on the sidelines with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Hu Jintao, Ahmadinejad softened his tough rhetoric, saying on Friday that a package of incentives designed by the international community to stop Iran from enriching uranium was "a step forward."

...Comrade Hu Comes Calling Re your story on Chinese President Hu Jintao's trip to the U.S. [April 24]: In visiting our democratic country, Hu represented not the Chinese people but the Chinese Communist Party, which has been holding that nation's people hostage for more than a half-century.

Western oil companies, eager for a supply from outside the Middle East, want to increase production from Africa. On a visit to Nigeria three weeks ago, Chinese President Hu Jintao signed deals to increase Chinese exploration and production. But Nigeria's role as a stable producer has taken a hammering of late. Militant attacks have cut production by 20%, hitting companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, and costing the oil majors and Nigeria hundreds of millions of dollars. "There used...
...mend has demanded his release. A new ideological coloring to the attacks has been backed by increasingly sophisticated tactics. A car bomb just over two weeks ago, at an oil-truck stop in Warri, was activated by a cell phone and came just days after China's Hu met with Nigeria's leaders. The bomb was "the final warning" before fresh attacks on oil workers, storage facilities, bridges, offices and other "soft, oil-industry targets," a mend official wrote in an e-mail to news organizations. But it was also, the e-mail said, a message to "the Chinese government...
