Libya needs China to rebuild

The post-Gadhafi era should see the resumption of existing projects and expanded cooperation

With the collapse of Moammar Gadhafi's regime, what has come to the spotlight is how the international community will help the National Transitional Council (NTC) restore stability in Libya and start reconstruction in the war-ravaged African nation as soon as possible.

Some Western media and NTC officials said early last month that Libya will mete out rewards to countries according to their support of the council. Some media observers even concluded that China would be a loser in the Libya conflict, saying Beijing will be excluded from reconstruction work.
