The relationship between Malawi and China is getting stronger | D+C - Development + Cooperation: "China has been accused of ripping Africa in general – and Malawi in particular – off its resources such as timber and minerals. But the Malawian government argues that the country has benefited a lot from the close ties with China.
Many people criticise that China only wants to exploit African countries’ natural resources. But Rejoice Shumba, spokesperson of Malawi’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains that this is not true in the case of Malawi. “Natural resources are a source of income. We decide ourselves how much should be sold. Whenever Malawi decides to sell any of its natural resources, it sells to the highest bidder,” Shumba says."
