Beijing Summit is an action-oriented and united meeting between China and African leaders. Its success is a milestone in China-Africa relationship and will definitely strengthen the new strategic partnership between China and Africa, says Mr.Zhou Yuxiao, Charge d'affaires a.i. of Chinese Embassy in South Africa when interviewed by Mr.Freek Robinson, anchor of Focus,SABC2 on November 6, 2006.

Mr.Zhou also makes comments when asked about China's trade with African countries in the field of oil and natural resources. Zhou says the trade is mutually beneficial, transparent and not exclusive.

Mr. Zhou rebuts the rumors that China is a neo-colonialist in Africa. He points out that all through history China has never occupied an inch of African land and has never put a finger in the slave trade. To colonize others is simply against Chinese traditions and values.
