Not sure about that one. Platinum? And international hassle. The problem is, I suppose, that China can’t make a complete about turn even it wanted to without admitting its support for Mugabe was misguided. And China has never been one for those kind of admissions.

I was hoping you’d write something on this. Interesting indeed that the embassy in Harare is rebutting the Telegraph’s story. I’m still curious what Beijing gets (or believes it gets) out of this relationship, especially as Zimbabwe’s economy deteriorates.
