Chinese influence key to Clinton's Africa agenda

Without mentioning China by name, Clinton will urge African leaders to carefully consider projects proposed by foreign countries that do not demand complete accountability and may encourage corruption to the detriment of the people of some of the world's most impoverished nations, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to preview the speech.
The United States is increasingly concerned about China's growing interest in Africa, the result of its massive demand for energy and natural resources to fuel its exploding economy. U.S. officials, including Clinton, have in the past expressed deep reservations that China is exploiting Africa's raw materials without regard for human rights and democratic principles.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement that Clinton will use the speech in Dakar to laud Senegal's democracy and "highlight America's approach to partnership" across Africa.
Other officials said she would call on Africa's elites and peoples to recognize that their best chances for achieving good governance and better living standards lie with cooperation with responsible partners, like the U.S.
From Senegal, Clinton will traverse the continent to visit South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya.
