One guy I talked with in Tangier said African leaders like to work with China because the Chinese don't ask uncomfortable questions.

But Ghana has been trying to build the Bui Dam for 40 years, and only now--with Chinese money--does it look like the dam's going to be built. It's hard to argue with that kind of support.
