BEIJING (AP) - China on Saturday blasted planned meetings between Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian and African allies this weekend.
Chen was scheduled to meet leaders from Burkina Faso, Gambia, Malawi, Sao Tome and Principe, and Swaziland on Sunday — an apparent attempt to cut into rival China's growing influence in the region.
Discussions will center on how Taiwan can help them with health care, information technology, and development.
