From the New York Times (link):
President Hu Jintao returned to Beijing on Sunday after a diplomatic tour that began awkwardly in the United States but ended with a swing through Africa that brought China several trade and energy deals.
Mr. Hu ended his five-nation tour in Kenya, where he signed an agreement on Saturday for licenses that would allow the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation to explore for oil off the coast of Kenya. Earlier in the week, Mr. Hu signed a deal that bought the Chinese energy company a substantial share of a major oil field in Nigeria.
