Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on East Asia.
East Asia
The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. In fact, a third of China’s oil now comes from Africa. It is interesting that Hu Jintao is visiting Sudan, mirroring a journey made by Cho En Lai 43 years ago. Sudan supplies China with 350,000 barrels of oil a day—two thirds of its exports—which means that China has considerable leverage over Sudan.
