West 'hypocritical' on China-Sudan ties

Western countries' attitude is "hypocritical" when it comes to China's oil trade with Sudan, said Sha Zukang, Undersecretary-General of the UN Department of Social and Economic Affairs on Friday.

China's friendship and economic exchanges with Sudan have developed smoothly for years.

Sudan's oil reserves were discovered many years ago, but China has been importing it from the country for just the last few years, said Sha during the ongoing World Economic Forum in Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning Province.
