Wolfowitz holds Beijing to account over Africa

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz has attacked the Chinese Government and the banks it owns for failing to respect human rights or environmental standards in their fast-growing involvements in Africa... A range of commercial and aid agreements are being prepared for next week's forum [Forum on China-Africa Co-operation], where Beijing will seek to contrast the conditions imposed on much Western involvement - linked to good governance and environmental and human rights standards - with its own position, based on its principle of non-interference in other countries.
