JUBA, 18 April 2013 [Gurtong]- According to the Director of External
Relations, University of Juba Dr. Leben Nelson Moro, China is a very
important country to South Sudan because of many factors particularly
the oil.

He said that most of the oil companies in South Sudan are Chinese and
that there is a shared interest to establish good relations.

“South Sudan has resources and China needs the resources for its rapid
economic growth,” he said.

Despite the fact that many of the participants criticized China for
bring double standards, he is optimistic that relationship between the
two countries will work. He argued that what China wants to have a
balanced relationship with Sudan and South Sudan.

The Chinese academics on their part said that the two countries will
benefit from good relations and that China is keen to relate with
South Sudan.

They said that China needs resources for its domestic development
adding that their country needs the oil and the opportunity to invest.

Never the less, they admitted that in the past South Sudan and their
country did not enjoy good relations but said that it is important to
have good relations between the two countries.

According to them, South Sudan should use the alternative pipeline it
intends to build to supplement the Sudanese pipeline and not to
abandon it adding that abandoning the Sudanese pipeline is not a wise
idea.

Dr.leben N. Moro we know China is important to South Sudan and if I
have to reverse tt the way . Is south Sudan important to China?. The
Pipeline in Sudan was built by China with our blood oil and now we
have to rent from Sudan,Istead of sharing it 50/50. Do you see where
the chinese interest is?.

You do not know chinese, people who know chinese know. In the first
place chinese have no respect for human right including their own. All
they need from Africa is natural resources and that is it.What else do
you expect from them nothing as they are very selfish. They drill the
oil and take it to China and bring back the petroleum bi- product and
others at a price you can not afford same as the cocoa from west
Africa where the African children sweat collecting the seeds and yet
can not afford to buy a bar of chocolate.

I worked with the Chinese and know who they are. Nihoma is all you
will learn from a chinenese.
Do your math.The sudansese pipeline is a chinese property that is why
they do not want to finance a pipeline to the port of Lamu which is
even much closer to china from kenya.
