This is Hu's second African tour since the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2006 when he announced eight policy measures to promote ties with Africa, including massive tariff cuts and debt exemptions for scores of African countries, and doubling aid to Africa over a three-year period.

Tnzania has done a lot for different countries in the African contineNt and other countries outside the region. Good example is Tanzania actively supported China's efforts to return to the United Nations (UN). At the 26th General Assembly of the UN in 1971.Also, Tanzania was among the sponsoring countries of the resolution supporting the restoration of all China's legitimate rights in the world body.

The Chines government has a lot to appreciate our country

As far as I know, during the presidency period of President Ali Hassan Mwinyi (1985-1995) and President Mkapa (1995-2005), Tanzania continued to pursue a friendly policy towards China, and the friendly relations of cooperation between the two countries were further consolidated and strengthened in various fields.

Now our president Jakaya Kikwete, since came to power in December 2005, has paid great attention to the relations between China and Tanzania. The friendly cooperative relationship between the two countries is in good shape has we can see now.

Mimi wasi wasi wangu kuhusu hawa jamaa ni jinsi wao wanavyoendesha mambo yao. Nimekuwa nikifanya biashara na wachina lakini cha kushangaza hawaaminiki. Sijawai kufanya biashara na mtu kwa mda mrefu na hakakosa kuonyesha uaminifu, lakini wenzetu hata mfanye kwa mda mrefu usipokuwa makini anakubambikia vitu vya hajabu.

Naomba tunaposaini nao hii mikataba tusikubali kwawapa mikataba ya mda mrefu.

Wewe Augustino umeonge ukweli, wachina kwanza hawatuthamini sisi watu weusi. Nimeona hiyo kwa macho yangu maana shughuli zangu nyingi zinaingiliana nao. Mfano mdogo wale waliopo kwetu utasikia kila siku wanagombana na wananchi wetu.

Bei za bidhaa zao ni ndogo lakini ni kwasababu viwango vyake sio vizuri. Pia ogopa mtu hasiyeeshimu mikataba na wenzake na akaanza kutengeza vitu feki kwa kutumia majina yanayojulikana (brand name)

China was planning to give more preferential treatment to imports from Tanzania in terms of import subsides and tariff reductions. What do we think about this. I think we need to export our products somewhere else.....

Watanzania tunaogopa vitu vya maendeleo lakini tuaamini vitu vya kuturudisha nyuma, mtu yuko tayari kuua mwenzake(albino)hili kupata utajili wakati inajulikana kabisa njia raisi kupata utajili ni kushikiana na wenye maendeleo hili ujifunze kutoka kwao

Kazi nzuri JK

Nawashukuru sana wana ccm marekani kwa juhudi zenu.
