The Panorama TV programme tracked down Chinese army lorries in the Sudanese province that came from a batch exported from China to Sudan in 2005.This shows that the Chinese are circumventing the embargo and the Sudanese regime in Khartoum is able to continue its deadly ways with the support of the Chinese government.
The BBC was also told that China was training fighter pilots who fly Chinese A5 Fantan fighter jets in Darfur.
China's government has declined to comment on the BBC's findings, which contravene a UN arms embargo on Darfur.
The embargo requires foreign nations to take measures to ensure they do not militarily assist anyone in the conflict in Darfur, in which the UN estimates that about 300,000 people have died.
More than two million people are also believed to have fled their villages in Darfur, destroyed by pro-government Arab Janjaweed militia.

China Fueling War In Darfur
China is busy propping up the Sudanese regime. This isn't surprising given the way the Chinese communists have been busy running interference for Africa's thugs, including Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
