But that was in 2007, when Mr Sata, as leader of the Patriotic Front, then Zambia’s main opposition party, was eager to tap into growing resentment against Chinese investors in the copper-rich former British colony. He accused them of paying slave wages, of flouting basic safety and environmental standards, and of corrupting African leaders across the continent with their multi-billion dollar “no-strings-attached” deals. China threatened to break off relations with Zambia should Mr Sata ever be elected.

但那是2007年的事了，当时塞塔先生作为赞比亚的主要反对党----爱国战线的领导者，迫不及待的表明他对在富产铜矿的前英殖民地进行投资的中国投资者日益增长的愤恨。他指责他们付给当地工人奴隶般的工资，蔑视基本安全和环保标准，还有用他们那数十亿美元的‘无附带条件’交易对整个非洲大陆的领导人进行行贿。当时中国曾威胁，如果塞塔当选，那么他们将与赞比亚断交。

Today, with the 74-year-old as president, the tone has changed, on both sides. China is now the world’s biggest consumer of copper, Zambia’s chief export. As usual, it is ready to work with whoever is in power. Mr Sata’s first official appointment after his inauguration on September 23rd was with China’s urbane ambassador, Zhou Yuxiao, who delivered a letter of congratulation from his own president, Hu Jintao. Though Mr Sata repeated his complaints about the Chinese paying low wages and taking jobs Zambians could do, he was more welcoming than previously.

而现今，74岁的塞塔已经是总统了，双方的语气也变了。中国现在是全世界最大的金属铜消费国，同时也是赞比亚的主要出口对象。按照惯例，谁是老大就和谁混。塞塔在他9月23日就职典礼之后的第一次官方会面，就是与文质彬彬的中国驻赞比亚大使周欲晓进行的。大使向总统转交了一份胡总主席的祝贺信，虽然塞塔仍旧抱怨中国人支付低工资以及不给赞比亚人就业机会,但他比以前温和多了。

He is too savvy a politician not to realise how much this impoverished country of 13m people needs China’s cash. Over the past decade, the Chinese have invested over $2 billion in Zambia, the GDP of which is only $16 billion. More than half of that came in last year. And China is committed to pouring in billions more. There are now about 300 Chinese companies in Zambia, most of them privately owned, employing around 25,000 locals. Standards differ: some companies treat their workers badly, but most of the big state-owned companies genuinely seek to respect local labour laws.

作为一个精明的政治家，他非常清楚这个拥有一千三百万人口的赤贫国家多么的需要来自中国的资金。在过去的十年中,中国已经在这个国民生产总值仅为160亿美元的国家中投资了超过20亿美元。其中一半多是在去年投入的，并且中国承诺将来还会投入数十亿美元。现在在赞比亚有大约300家中国公司,他们中的大部分归私人所有,雇用了大约25000名本地人。但待遇标准不同，一些企业对员工的待遇很糟糕，但大多数大型国有企业总的来说还是很尊重当地的劳工法的。

“We are learning,” says Mr Zhou, with an apologetic smile. In the past, he admits, mistakes were made. An explosion at a Chinese explosives plant in 2005, which killed 51 Zambian workers, and last year’s shooting of protesting Zambian miners by Chinese managers at the Collum coal mine, wounding 11, certainly tarnished China’s image.

“我们正在学习”，周大使说,带着抱歉的微笑。他承认,在过去他们犯了一些错误。发生于2005年的一起中国爆炸物工厂的爆炸使得51名赞比亚工人遇难,去年发生在科勒姆煤矿的中国管理人员枪击进行抗议的赞比亚矿工事件中,打伤了11名赞比亚人,这些当然损害了中国的形象。

The Chinese are exasperated by the way in which they have been singled out for criticism, particularly in the Western press. Mr Zhou says this is mainly due to Western fears of China’s economic and political resurgence. But cultural and linguistic barriers also play a role. The Chinese, most of whom do not speak English, tend to be reserved, to live separately in compounds behind high security walls and to go straight home after work rather than prop up the bar with the locals. Generally hard-working, disciplined and dedicated to getting the job done, they are often puzzled by what they see as the Zambians’ often lackadaisical attitude to life.

中国人对他们被单独挑出来进行批评感到恼火,特别是对于西方媒体。周大使说,这主要是由于西方对中国在经济和政治方面的复兴感到恐惧和忧虑。其次，文化和语言的障碍也起到了部分作用。中国人,大多数不说英语,且往往沉默寡言，他们把自己与当地人隔离开来，住在用高高的安全墙围起来的营地里，下班后也不和当地人一起去支持酒吧产业，经常径直就回到他们的住所。他们总是吃苦耐劳,训练有素且专注于工作，他们常常迷惑不解,为何赞比亚人总是用那么懒散的态度对待人生。

"The Chinese, most of whom do not speak English, tend to be reserved, to live separately in compounds behind high security walls and to go straight home after work rather than prop up the bar with the locals."
If the Chinese laborers and merchants kept largely to themselves there wouldn't be as much tension. The source of bad relations is not the self segregation of Chinese laborers but the interaction of people who are culturally alien to each other. The more they interact with each other the poorer relations will become. To say otherwise is like saying school busing in America has helped improve race relations.

“中国人,大多数不说英语,且往往沉默寡言，他们把自己与当地人隔离开来，住在用高高的安全墙围起来的营地里，下班后也不和当地人一起去支持酒吧产业”
如果中国工人和商人们真能这么克制的话就不会有这么多麻烦了，搞糟他们和当地人关系的原因并不是他们的自我隔离，恰恰相反，正是由于他们和当地人进行的不同文化背景的交流与接触，他们之间接触越多，他们之间的关系也就变的越差，就像美国过去的校车就曾帮助美国改善了的种族关系。
（注：美国各州上世纪曾普遍实行校车种族隔离制度，黑白分明。）

China is currently one of the top nature resources consumer in the world. Most african countries are producers of such resources and heavily rely on it. So most leaders will promise that they will reject china's offer before they were elected and accept the offer after they actually got elected. Because no African government can withstand the attraction of Money.

中国是当今最大的自然资源消费国之一，大多数非洲国家生产这些资源并且严重依赖资源产业，所以非洲的大多数领导人在当选之前会做出“拒绝中国关于本国资源提议”的保证：，但当他们当选后他们又会马上接受中国的报价，任何非洲国家政府都承受不住钱的诱惑。

Sata is too savvy a politician not to realise how much this impoverished country of 13m people needs China’s cash, i Think He should talk of exporting finished products rather than RAW, which are cheaper...That way Zambia Will Grow...Big time...Botswana is a living example Next door..

“作为一个精明的政治家，他非常清楚这个拥有一千三百万人口的赤贫国家多么的需要来自中国的资金。”
我觉得他应该想想怎么出口制成品而不是廉价的原材料，那样赞比亚才能成长，隔壁的博茨瓦那就是一个榜样。

China is currently the second economic entity in the world, and it is still rising. China has more than 1.3 billion people, as a result, they need more resources. Africa is a place rich in resources and cheap labors. China seeks that opportunity to get as more resources as possible with least amount of money. The presidents know that they are losing their own resources but they have no choices. With the attraction of money and the willing to make a better life for their people, they have to give sacrifice. At the same time, countries like China are helping them building schools and utilities as well. These can also relieve their economic crisis.

中国目前是世界上第二大经济体，而且仍在发展。中国有超过13亿人，他们需要更多的资源。非洲是一个拥有丰富的资源和廉价劳动力的地方。中国恰好在寻求这样的机会，用最少的钱买到尽可能多的资源。总统知道，他们正在失去自己的资源，但他们没有选择。因为金钱的吸引力以及想让他们的人民过上更好生活的愿望，使得他们必须有所牺牲。与此同时，像中国这样的国家也在帮助他们建设学校和公用设施，这也可以减轻他们自己的经济危机。

This article further supports how China is growing into a global superpower. Only a few years ago the African government seemed to oppose China's attempt in investing, however in such a short time it appears that the benefits of these investments can lead to support. At such a rapid pace, China is definitely on track to be one of, if not the, biggest economy in the world.
@ TaiChi
Segregation leads to worse things than integration. The initial reaction of two different peoples can be quite harsh, but afterwards things cool down. Forced busing didn't solve the problem in the US, but it helped overcome one barrier that nobody wanted to cross. Within a decade, things normalized. If each race or people group remains isolated, prejudice and racism tend to flourish and become far more extreme, with no opposing ideas or influence to cool passions.

这篇文章更加支持了中国即将成为一个全球性超级强权的观点。仅在几年以前，非洲各国政府似乎普遍反对接受中国的投资，但是在这么短的时间内，这些投资的带来的收益使得投资获得越来越多的支持。在如此快的节奏中，中国毫无疑问正成为——如果不是最大那么也是最大之一的经济体。
回复TaiChi
隔离导致的结果比融合糟糕的多。两个不同民族的初次接触可能导致很不愉快的结果，但毕竟总会冷却下来的。虽然强制混合校车没有解决美国的种族问题，但它确实帮助人们跨过了一个没有人愿意跨的障碍。在十年之内，一切都正常了。如果每一个种族或种群保持隔绝，偏见和种族主义就会泛滥，变得更为极端，并且不能形成与之对立的观点去影响或中和它。

It's easy to talk, but it's not so easy to actually follow up with action. Zambia and other countries in Africa are never going to turn down China, regardless of how poorly they feel they are being treated. Money generally trumps hard feelings on a international scale and this is no exception, Africa needs China, more than China needs them.

说着容易做起来难，不管他们被多么糟糕的对待，赞比亚和其他非洲国家永远都不能拒绝中国的要求。在国际关系中，金钱永远是最有效的手段，从无例外，非洲需要中国远胜于中国需要非洲。

Zambians often lackadaisical attitude to life... I as a lackadaisical Zambian can offer some insights into this attitude
1) Zambia has a near perfect climate, a truly Goldilocks land that is neither too hot, nor too cold, nor too wet, nor too dry (except October). Who feels like being really active when it is gorgeous outside and just right for lying in hammock or possibly kicking a ball around
2) Zambians love football more than work
3) The Zambian beer, with its excellent water, malt and maize is really good
4) Zambian ladies are very attractive and men would rather spend their time chatting them up
5) Zambian men are the Adonises of Africa and the ladies would rather spend their time enjoying the advances of these attractive Zambian men
On a more serious note:
1) Malaria is a massive issue and people are often sick
2) malnutrition is a major problem (though actual starvation is relatively rare)
3) A poor education system means that people are ill equipped to frame their desires and understand that hardwork is the means to a successful life
Good luck Zambia, your peaceful attitude has always made me a fan

“赞比亚人常常用懒散的态度对待人生”
我就是一个懒散的赞比亚人，对于这种生活态度我来说说我的观点：
1赞比亚有有着近乎完美的气候，这片像金发姑娘一样美好的土地既不太冷也不太热，不会太潮湿也不会太干燥（10月份除外）。当谁想活动活动时，这迷人的户外正适合找个地方弄张吊床躺躺或找个皮球踢踢。
2 赞比亚人热爱足球远胜于工作。
3 用极品的麦芽 玉米和水酿出来的赞比亚啤酒，那是相当带感~
4 赞比亚女人可是相当妩媚动人的，这让赞比亚的男人们每天要花大把时间追着她们搭讪。
5 赞比亚男人可都是非洲大地上的阿多尼斯（注：希腊神话人物，植物之神兼美男子，俊美异常，爱神维纳斯对其一见钟情）这也让女人们每天会去花大把时间流连于这些迷人的异性之间。
嗯~再说点儿严肃的：
1 疟疾是一个严重的问题，人们经常会因此生病
2营养不良也是一个主要问题（真正的饥荒还是比较少见的）
3 落后的教育系统导致人们不能很好的克制自己的欲望，同时也使他们不能很好的明白只有通过勤劳的工作才能过上好日子这样的道理。
赞比亚，好运伴随你，你那安静平和的样子总能让我着迷。

This seems to be a problem that Africa as a whole will have to overcome. I read mention in a previous comment that they should quit exporting raw materials to China and manufacture them in Zambia. This would be great, but then they would be competing against China, and that is something that no one seems to be able to do very well that is compounded by the fact it is a landlocked country. China probably also has deals with it's boarding states just so it can get the materials out. If they tried themselves to get the goods out they would be in much hotter water. But back to why Africa would have to get out of this cycle as a whole. Take Southeast Asia as a whole, whats the best reason they have become important at all. Because of ASEAN, The African Union's economic sector would really have to step to become more of trade bloc type of system. This would help tie the states together in a way that they actually could get out of the peripheral. Then they would have some leverage against the Chinese. But as it stands a landlocked African country will have to give in to whoever the core state is that is trying to extract from it, no matter who is in charge.

这似乎是一个整个非洲都需要克服的难题。前面有评论提到，赞比亚应该取消向中国出口原材料，转而用其在他们自己的国家内进行制造，进而出口制成品。想法很好，但如果他们这么做的话，他们将不得不与中国展开竞争，但这似乎是件在当今没人能干的好的事儿，而且，还要考虑赞比亚是一个内陆国家，这更加大了竞争的难度。中国可能与赞比亚相邻的国家有某种交易，从而能将原材料运送出来，但如果赞比亚试图依靠他们自己的力量把货物运到海岸，那么他们的情况可能就不那么乐观了。话说回来，非洲各国怎样才能摆脱这种只能出口原材料的窘境呢？看看东南亚吧，他们在国际社会上变得有分量的原因正是因为他们把自己整合成了一个整体——东盟。所以，非洲联盟经济区必须要逐步向贸易集团转化。这将有助于非盟内部各国摆脱被边缘化，同时获得一些能够更有效的对抗中国的杠杆。但是，这也意味着，无论谁掌权，某些非洲内陆国家必须放弃其在非盟的主导地位。

As China has the biggest population in the world, they demand more resources. Africa produces these resources, such as copper, that China is in need of. African countries, like Zambia, do not want the Chinese in their country because they feel like China is simply taking advantage of them. However though, no country can resist money. Zambia relies on the money that China gives for purchasing copper. It is true that Mr. Sata criticized China, but because of the wealth China has and its trade with Zambia, Mr. Sata has no choice but to accept China. In my opinion, if one of top economies is trading with you, it would be the smart move to improve relations and not harm the trade line with that wealthy country.

中国在世界上拥有最多的人口，他们也将需要更多的资源。而非洲生产这些资源，如铜，那正是中国想要的。非洲国家，如赞比亚，不希望中国人进入他们的国家是因为他们觉得中国只是在简单地利用他们。但毕竟没有哪个国家能抵御金钱的诱惑。赞比亚需要中国买铜所付给他们的钱。虽然塞塔批评中国，但由于中国所拥有的财富以及其与赞比亚进行的贸易，塞塔别无选择。在我看来，如果某个顶尖的经济体与你进行贸易，那么改善与其的关系才是明智之举，别搞糟与那个富裕国家的贸易。

Sata has a fine line to walk with the Zambian natives. He shouldn't have made promises he knew he couldn't keep while running for office (but hey, what politician doesn't?), so now he has to deal with the backlash from his people. Maybe instead of hoping to get China out of Zambia he should strike harder deals with them--a higher percentage of Zambian workers in the Chinese companies, minimum wages, education stipends, ect. It's the least China can do, considering Zambia certainly drew the shortest straw in this business deal.

塞塔应该小心行事，他竞选时不应做出那些他知道他根本不可能兑现的承诺（但是，那个政客不这样干呢？），他现在不得不考虑该怎么处理选民们的怒火了，也许，作为把中国赶出赞比亚的替代路线，他应该在与中国人的交易中列出更苛刻的条件，比如提高中资公司的赞比亚员工比例，提高最低工资，要求中资公司支付教育津贴等等，考虑到在过去的交易中，赞比亚总是只能分到那最短的一根稻草，那么上面那些都是中国人起码应该为赞比亚人做的。

The economist is a Britain magazine and often misleads readers by British interests.
While copper is exported to China in large quantities,but Zambian mining official datas show that China companies only own two big copper mines in the country,only product about 30% of copper output – a much smaller presence than that of British or Australian companies.In the top ten copper mine enterprises,only a China company(NO.7),most are Britain and Australia country,the largest copper mine company is an Indian conpany,producting more than 200,000 tons copper one year,account for 30% of output in Zambian.
1)The author wrote,"Over the past decade, the Chinese has invested over $2 billion in Zambia, the GDP of which is only $16 billion."
-------It also misleads readers,even by its logic,is is also only $200m one year.As it says,"More half of that( China investment) came in last year." In fact,is means that China only invested $100m one year in past decade.
2)The author wrote,"China is now the world’s biggest consumer of copper, Zambia’s chief export. As usual, it is ready to work with whoever is in power."
-------The datas,released by the bureau of Zambia, can tell readers who is Zambia’s chief export.For example,The export datas in May shows that the NO.3 is South Africa(9.9%),NO.2 is China(14.6%),Who is NO.1(56.3%),the chief export? You guess!
-------Britain is alway Zambia's economy real ruler! As an old colonist,Britain have never left Zambia for a second in last 150 years!It fears that more rivals in Zambia. But I believe that Zambia can benefit more from more rivals and more intense competition in Zambia which Sata will recognize gradually.Maybe,Sata still is a Sinophobe,but I am sure that one day China wants to leave,he will fight hard to keep China companies staying in Zambia,not for China,just only for Zambia's interests.

经济学家是一本英国杂志，经常为了英国的利益去误导读者。
虽然赞比亚向中国出口大量的铜矿石，但其官方矿业数据显示，中国企业在赞比亚全国只拥有两家大型铜矿，铜矿石产量只占赞比亚全国产量的约30％——低于在赞比亚的英国或澳大利亚矿业公司的产量。在赞比亚排名前十的铜矿企业中，只有一家中国公司（排第七），其他大部分是英国的或澳大利亚的公司，排名第一的是一家印度公司，产量超过20万吨，单其一家公司的产量就占到赞比亚铜矿年产量的30％。
1 作者写道：“在过去的十年中,中国已经在这个国民生产总值仅为160亿美元的国家中投资了超过20亿美元。”
-------这也在误导读者，即使按照他的说法，那么中国对赞的投资额也只有2亿美元之每年。还有，作者说：“其中一半多是在去年投入的”那么中国在过去的十年中每年仅投资一亿美元左右。
2 文中写道，“中国现在是全世界最大的金属铜消费国，同时也是赞比亚的主要出口目的国。按照惯例，谁是老大就和谁混。”
-------赞比亚当局公布的统计数据可以告诉读者谁是赞比亚的主要出口目的国。例如，在5月份的出口数据表明，排名第三的是南非（9.9％），中国排第二（14.6％），那么，谁是赞比亚第一出口目的国呢（56.3％）？你猜？！
-------英国，一直是赞比亚实际上的的经济统治者！作为一个殖民主义的老手，在过去150年中，英国从未离开过赞比亚哪怕一秒钟！英国害怕在赞比亚出现竞争对手。但我相信，塞塔会逐渐意识到，赞比亚会在这场竞争中获利，可能塞塔仍然是一个反华主义者，但我认为如果某一天中国想要离开赞比亚时，塞塔会尽最大的努力留住中国人，不是为了中国，而是为了赞比亚的利益。

I have to correct the datas,in the sentence "Zambian mining official datas show that China companies only own two big copper mines in the country,only product about 30% of copper output"
The right data is about "5%",not "30%" ,the china companies only account for 5% of copper output in Zambian. In top ten copper companies in Zambian,most are Britain and Australia companies,except the largest one,an India company.

我来更正一下我上一个回复的数据
“但其官方矿业数据显示，中国企业在赞比亚全国只拥有两家大型铜矿，铜矿石产量只占赞比亚全国产量的约30％”
正确的数据是5%，不是30%，中国公司铜矿石产量只占赞比亚全国产量的约5％，在铜产量排名前十的公司中，除了最大的那家外，大多数是英国和澳大利亚的公司，最大的那家是印度的。

As for copper industry, although more and more copper in Zambia will been exported to China,but now South America countries such as Chile,Peru still are mainly copper sources for China.China aslo imports copper from many rich-copper countries such as US,Canada and Russia etc.The new huge copper reserve in Mongolia also will been exported to China in next few years.With the development of exploration technology,more and more countries join in the copper industry,the world copper reserves is rising by rate of 5% year by year,bigger than exploit's rising rate actually.
Now the biggest variable for copper industry is that the world economic trend,if the world economy is in recession,copper will be surplus again and fall in a very long economic cycle just as macro-economics textbook's described.

至于铜产业，虽然越来越多的赞比亚铜矿石被运往中国，但中国的主要铜矿石来源仍是智利秘鲁等南美国家，同时，中国也同样从美国加拿大和俄罗斯等国进口铜矿。在未来几年，蒙古国的巨型铜矿也将会向中国进行出口， 随着勘探技术的发展，越来越多的国家加入到铜矿产业中，世界已探明铜矿储量逐年上升5％，实际上高于每年开采率的上升量。
现在铜矿产业最大的变数是世界经济趋势，如果世界经济衰退，就像宏观经济学教科书描述的那样，在很长的一个经济周期内，铜矿石必定会供过于求。

Once again, we see how great the connections among the world are. In this case we see how Africa depends on China and is forced to form a strong relationship to strengthen their security even if it means giving up their resources. China and Africa are showing an interdependent relationship, however in this case China is the strongest entity even if it's the one requiring the resources.

再一次，我们看到世界之间的连接是多么的紧密。我们看了到非洲如何依赖于中国，从而被迫与中国形成牢固的合作关系，虽然这意味着他们不得不放弃自己的资源。中国和非洲展现出一种相互依存的关系，是在这种关系中，虽然中国在资源方面有求于非洲，但她仍是强势的一方。

Often lackadaisical attitude to life - sounds more like a typical European (anyone who's been working class housing project in England or mingled with the filthy rich will know what I am referring to). I guess the only difference is Africans didn't build guns big enough to enslave others, or have the cruelty and viciousness to butcher millions of people. Ah European "civilization." Won't be long now before the pendulum comes full circle. Keep up the arrogance though, it will make watching you people squirm so much more amusing.

“总是用懒散的态度对待人生”——听起来像典型的欧洲人（任何见过英格兰的工人阶级保障性住房项目或与那些卑劣的用不正当方法获取财富的富人们接触过的人就会知道我指的是什么）。我想唯一的区别就是非洲人没有造出够大够多的枪炮，所以他们无法去奴役别人。或者是他们不够残忍与邪恶，下不了手去屠杀几百万人，欧洲的“文明”挺不了多长时间了，继续嚣张吧，在将来看着你们像虫子一样蠕动挣扎时一定很有趣。


Zambino Oct 7th 2011 11:28 GMT
@pooker156 I think you will find that the Congolese amongst others have adequately demonstrated 'the cruelty and viciousness to butcher millions of people'. I would also include mutilation and rape to that list.
We are all one human race and we are all capable of both immense good and immense evil. Stop framing things in terms of colour - it is so last century

回复pooker156，发生在刚果的事已经充分证明了非洲人足够“残忍与邪恶”，也能屠杀上百万人，其中还包括肢解和强奸。
我们都是同样的人类，我们都有可能做出极端善良或是极端邪恶的事情。不要再像上个世纪似的戴着有色眼镜了。

If you have investors that invest 100s of millions of dollars and do not see any development or growth within the country, what do you think is happening here? I am not advocating for China. However, I think the root of the problem does not stem from greedy Chinese investors. It is the exploitation of labor and resources in a poor country which has poor governance at a political level. African nations are rates low on the Corruption Index over the years. The politicians and local businessmen are more than happy to receive kickbacks and sell the country to foreign investors. Foreign investment is good for any economy which has good governance, accountable government, sound policies against exploitation of labor and leaders with a vision to develop these nations. Truly this is not the case in most African countries. Only good leaders than love their country more than money can make this happen.

如果你向一个国家投资了数百万美元，但没有看到任何成效，你觉得是什么原因呢？我不是中国的拥护者。但我认为问题的根源并不源于中国投资者的贪婪。而是在于在一个贫困落后的国家，国家对于劳动力的开发和资源的开采在政治层面上缺乏有效的管理。非洲国家多年来在腐败指数上一直很差。当地的政客和商人很乐意接受回扣并把整个国家卖给外国人。对任何有着良好的管理，负责任的政府，健全的反剥削法律和富有远见的领导人的国家来说，外国投资都是有益的。但很明显，大多数非洲国家并不具备这样的条件，这只有那些热爱自己的祖国胜于热爱金钱的领导人才能做到。
