A gateway to the rest of Africa, cheaper labor or both? It does sound good for Ethiopia, do you have a handle on all this? Ethiopia's deputy finance minister, Ahmed Shide, said the relationship with China is "based on changing people's lives, on building infrastructure and enabling countries to eradicate poverty". Ethiopia's plans to take advantage of its plentiful manpower and become a light manufacturing hub is an extra incentive for China, he explained.
