China focuses on oil, not Sudanese needs

...The vast majority of [Sudan’s] oil, 64 percent, is sold to China...China’s National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) is the majority shareholder in both Petrodar and the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company…But the Chinese operations were marked "from the beginning," by a "deep complicity in gross human rights violations…" says Sudan activist Eric Reeves...Petrodar accountant Li dismisses the whole debate…"I am here to make money. My company is here to do the same," he says. …"That’s life. That’s business." [also refers to Chevron, Talisman Energy]
