finite abelian groups tensor product.

Is the following question obvious ?



Let $G$ be an abelian group, such that for any finite abelian group $A$, we have
$Gotimes_{mathbf{Z}}A=0$, does it mean that $G$ is a $mathbf{Q}$-vector space ?

          You have $Gotimes(Bbb Z/nBbb Z)=0$ for all
          $nin Bbb N$. That means $G/nG=0$, so $G=nG$, that is all elements of $G$ are divisible by $n$. Then $G$ is a divisible Abelian group. Conversely if $G$ is a divisible Abelian group, then
          $Gotimes(Bbb Z/nBbb Z)=0$ and so $Gotimes A=0$ for all finitely generated
          Abelian groups.



          But not all divisible Abelian groups are $Bbb Q$-modules: they may have torsion.
          As an example, let $G=Bbb Q/Bbb Z$.
