On Aug 22, the First China-Africa Human Rights Seminar was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. "We are looking at China's involvement in Africa as an opportunity," said Kugiza Crispin Kaheru, member of the Uganda Human Rights Commission. When talking about human rights, he pointed out that the so-called human rights of Western countries have become tools of sanctions and embargoes, while China's new vision on human rights presents a different approach. From Africa's perspective, China's engagement on the continent brings opportunity rather than threat.
