Chinese accused of illegal logging in Congo

China's fast-growing demand for timber from the Democratic Republic of Congo has resulted in an increase in illegal logging in the African nation.

Mainland and Hong Kong loggers were the likely culprits, Global Witness, a British non-governmental organisation, said.

Congo is the world's second most forested country, with 40 million people depending on them for income, food, building materials and medicines.
