Zambian president welcomes Chinese investors(AFP) –  LUSAKA — Zambia's President Michael Sata on Saturday said he would welcome Chinese investors, promising to strengthen relations with Beijing, in U-turn on his pre-election anti-China stance."When we were campaigning people were complaining about the Chinese and I promised that I will sort the Chinese out," said Sata who hosted a luncheon for Beijing investors at the State House."They are also going to sort me out and so we are going to use them to develop," he said.Sata, who was elected last month is known for his tough stand against the influx of Chinese investment into the country, particularly in the mining sector, which he says does not benefit locals.
