This paper illustrates China’s oil-related activities on the African continent. To provide a clearer picture how the People’s Republic proceeds in securing African oil, I decided to illustrate China’s oil policy in Africa on one specific example. Therefore, I put Sudan in the center of my analysis. Sudan is one of China’s most important oil providers; up to 80 percent of Sudan’s daily oil produce goes to China.1 Nevertheless, political instability, humanitarian crises, and revolting tribes account for a difficult investment environment.
