Sino-African ties seen in right perspective

A recent report by the World Bank on China's relations with Africa is indeed inspiring. China has long been committed to an improved relationship with the African continent on an equal footing.

The report, entitled Building bridges: China's growing role as infrastructure financier for Sub-Saharan Africa, presents people a broad picture of the cooperation between China and Africa from a "relatively objective" perspective, as a World Bank official said.

With some persuasive facts and figures to support its conclusion, the report is no doubt a forcible rebuttal of those Westerns who have doubted China's motives behind developing ties with African countries.
