One year ago, in summer 2007, after four years of equivocation, 200,000 death and 2 millions refugees, the Security council voted finally the resolution which allowed to create an UN peacekeeping army, and sent it in Darfur, that region in the Sudan Ouest side dived in a civil war. 

Nowadays that UN peacekeeping army made up of several African armies are considered as bad fitted out and very few many, 7,000 from African Union soldier for a territories as large as France.

When China applies its classical foreign policy, it doesn’t want to be involved in making decision for a sovereign foreign country. For China the Darfur crisis has to be resolve by Sudanese people themselves, and not under foreign pressure. Amnesty international blames them to be weapons seller in Sudan. According to the Canadian deputy Maurice Vellacott “most of weapons used in in the Sudanese conflict are made Sudan in Chinese factory”. Vellacott criticizes also the repeated use of the Veto right which China used to concerning resolutions from Security Council of United Nation trying to stop the violence. According to a report of Amnesty international, Beijing would send more than two hundred military trucks in Sudan in 2005.

China is opposed to trade sanctions, it buys about 65% of the Sudan oil production and its invest a lot in this country and contracts with Sudanese government. So china can’t allow to let create a war with other countries involved in this rich underground region and see the Sudanesegovernment overthrown.
