#1 He said the Chinese are no longer benefiting that much economically from Zimbabwe and there was more for them to gain from siding with their partners on the UN Security Council.

How does one say 'business decision' in Chinese?

#5 MR: 商業決策

I am betting that Mugabe was behind on his bills. The Chinese lent a lot of money to him. But loans only make business sense when they are paid back. I suspect the Chinese don't think he is long for the world, either politically or age-wise. The next government may simply repudiate the Chinese loans.
