China's No. 1 oil company, CNPC, and Indonesia's PT Pertamina have agreed to co-develop a Sudanese offshore oil block, ignoring international efforts to isolate Sudan over the crisis in its Darfur region, a report said Monday.

The agreement, signed Thursday in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, calls for a six-year exploration phase and shared future oil production under a 20-year concession, the CNPC-backed China Petroleum Daily reported.

Sudan is among Beijing's key oil suppliers. It shipped 4.7 million metric tons of crude oil to China in January-May, a fivefold increase over the same period in 2006.

HELL NO! China is part of the U.N.....let them deal with it since they want to go after the oil contracts. Why should we have to send troops to more/less protect their interests?
