Kind of. It's a matter of the global usage. As India and China start to expand their economies dramatically, they need more oil. But oil-producing countries are only putting out the same amount. Therefore, we have to pick up the bill for China and India's increased usage.\n\nPoor leadership? That plays a part. If our president was able to work with the oil-producing countries and come to good terms with them, I think they would put out more oil or lower the overall cost.

Coal, iron, uranium, and manganese are pretty common. Agricultural resources include coffee, cocoa, yams, and maize. Africa is the second largest continent with vast resources.

Yes. In about 150 years there will be no oil if we continue this way.\nAnyway .. there are unlimited resources, at least for energy, ... solar/eolian/waterfall energy.\nHope this helps

There is no shortage, but high demand for it.  Demand is outstripping the supply.  China's economy is growing fast and increasing its demand for oil.\n\nWe are still the largest consumer of oil in the world.

China is definitely up and coming and is already one of the major players in the world strategy game. Whether it will be the only player, only time will tell. \n\nSomeone once asked Deng Xiaoping whether democracy has proven to be a superior system of government. He answered: "it is too early to tell as it has only been in exsitence for about 500 years". \n\nWhether China wants to be a world superpower is another story - not everyone wants to be able to project its power even though it has it. Throughout history, China has not expanded outside its borders since historical times even though it had the means to do so. It used to use bribery to improve relations and trade rather than invading and colonising any other country.

Never, that is what I see.  It is not only the lack of education or the fact that African resources are being stolen.  If you gave Africa and it's resources back to the Africans, they would really not advance much, they would never become a superpower, I think they will always be a 3rd World Continent.

yes according to the current rate of growth, it is said that CHINA is abt to become the greatest economic power of the world by 2025. india is expected to be 2nd in the list. however it is going to be difficult for CHINA to maintain the top spot for long, as it is expected that the country would face acute labour shortage in the near future. the main reason for this is the population control policy of the country. on the other habd, india has no such policy in action which is being followed. thus the growth advantage of the future iswith INDIA. now to utilise it, the GOVT. of INDIA needs to plan and construst infrastucture on a larger scale.

For development to flourish, good government is required that supports development.  There is not a great deal of good government in Africa.  Until the governments improve there will be no development.  Granted there may be attempts at development but it will not flourish.  \n\nRegrettably, you are probably wasting your time.

China bought oil from Iraq too but they didn't jump. If we moved on Iran with as much support as we have in the world, China would keep a low profile as well. Because china is dependent on export. They depend on the world's economy and on the buying of what they make. They may seem fierce, but with their economical hands tied they're just paper dragons.

No.  It comes from industrialization.  Most western nations have been industrialized for some time and it generates wealth.  Africa has resources, but have corrupt governments and tribalism that is hampering its ability to industrialize.  You have to get a centralized government that functions and have rules of trade that will allow people to earn profit for a country to industrialize.  Unless that happens, poor nations will stay poor.  It is not the work of the western world keeping them poor.  It is up to them to make it work.

I do not know the whole story, but I do know that China, being an oil hungry energy consumer, is buying up oil rights left and right in countries such as Sudan..\nChina does not want to be wholly dependent on purchasing consumer market priced energy (oil), so they are buying future oils from smaller oil producing nations..\nthe "West" views this as a economic strategic maneuver...China's developing-country status in the Kyoto protocol gives them the ability to grow by leaps and bounds unaffected by environmental barriers...a very large supply of oil will only strengthen their grip economically and politically around the world\nBig picture=Communist strengthening

It may never get there.  There is a good chance China could become 2 or 3 countries over the next 30 years.  If it does become the world's most powerful country it is likely to follow the example of the UK and US and retain that position for approx 100 to 150 years.

As an African, I dont like the idea of getting funds from the west but since the western countries are taking all the children of the africa who have the brains to work for them leaving their home countries poor.  How can these countries develop yet we still get the so called investors who end up employing mainly their statemens in good positions yet with good pay, working conditions. And when we talk of good pay, these guys are paid in dollars, pounds, euros irrespective of the countries they are working in.. This money is sent back to their home countries... \n\nIts still these developed western countries who are designing and producing dangerous weapons which are in most cases being used by African dictators to kill innocent children, women. These very good learned western friends always have hidden agendas as you will find two different countries supporting say 1 supports the rebels with guns, medicine, education and the other supports the government.\n\nI have alot I could say but you  western countries need to visit care.org such that you can start supporting the africans,  healing the sick with AIDs, and many other problems caused by many of our brothers, sisters who have hidden agendas in conflicts in Africa and the World at large.

Are you saying that China is trying to secure resources?\n\nThat they are using foreign aid to advance their own cause?\n\nThat money/goods are used to influence?\n\nThat instead of armed invasion a less costly means of securing future resources is to 'help' local governments?\n\nThat the world is falling into patterns of expanding and contracting empires? Wow glad I was sitting for this question.

yes.\n\nits why china is surpassing everyone in the biotech and medical fields.. they're atheist and dont have religious barriers.. just like in europe they'll soon be making human limbs from stem cells and implanting them for those who have lost limbs
