Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Before the election in 2005, the Chinese Government sent gifts to Zimbabwe in the form of agricultural equipment and electrical transformers. The Chinese government also sent T-shirts exclaiming support for Mugabe's party. With the criticism of the Zimbabwean government, China's timely gift showed a powerful international ally for the current regime. The value and exact amount of these donations are unknown, as are the exact delivery dates of the donation. This project is completed.
