#3 20 years or so ago a US oil company (Chevron) invested a good deal of money in Sudan and put the first (I think) significant oil field on production. After a few years they left and forfeited that investment: it was not a safe place to operate, they did not have the force of the US government to back them, and lending support to the Sudanese government was not moral. I imagine China is now using that oil to make our Barbie dolls.

Gee, I thought it had something to do with China selling AK-47s to one of the brothers.
