I just saw an interesting story on China working in the Sudan(i think it was the Sudan) - they gave the Sudan like 8 billion dollars for construction to help build their infrastructure: schools, roads, hospitals, etc. under the terms that any contractor they have do the work must be a Chinese company. many Chinese are there working as well as providing jobs, economic growth to the Sudan people. This is what is wrong with the US. We would of just given them 8 billion in aid that wouldn't of accomplished anything.
