Russian and Chinese representatives signed 17 agreements covering energy, scientific cooperation, mining, car assembly, and more. Russia will build two natural gas pipelines² to China and, to bring oil to northeast China, they will add a new branch to a Siberian oil pipeline¹ that currently goes to the Sea of Japan. The two countries will also build new power plants along their common border. In another set of international trade negotiations³, Chinese companies signed 16 agreements with Nigeria, Angola, Sudan, and other African countries. The agreements mostly concern oil, iron ore, copper⁴, and other natural resources. While Chinese president Hu Jintao has pledged forgiveness of debts and $5 billion worth of new loans to African countries, human rights activists⁵ accuse China of supporting repressive African governments and having a colonial attitude toward the poorer countries.
