China's rapid economic growth demands sustained supply of huge energy, which has been the reason for its increasing oil import from Africa (Hanson, 2008). Official figure of Chinese aid and investment in Sudan is more than four billion US dollar between 2002-2007, but the real amount can be much more than that. With support from China, Sudan has already built Merowe Dam, and is heightening the Roseires Dam. It has also planned to build at least two new dams in the basin. Similarly, Ethiopia has unilaterally taken up a number of dam projects in the Nile basin with the help of Chinese financial and technical support. Due to Egypt's opposition, Ethiopia was not successful to raise finances from the World Bank and African Development Bank for its water development project for many years. However, China‟s emergence has brought new opportunities for Ethiopia.
