Its probably best we keep our noses out of it unless we are invited by the countries in the region to give them a hand.

| One thing that really pis's me off about the PRC is their role in the UN security council putting "oil access" above human rights and stability.
The problems in the Sudan are exasperated by the PRC's alliance with the butchers running that country. Effectively, they tell Sudan, "you give us oil rights and we give you "cover" in the UN".

| This isnt anything like it.
Its the PRC using its position on the security council to block sanctions or citicism of its "oil allies"

Country: | The Chinese will do that for more than just oil allies. Anything that suits them fine they will cover up and protect. The Chinese dont have the greatest track record for human rights.

| I think they have a "zero" track on human rights.
I think the cabal running the PRC is worried about the internet and their increasing inability to control the flow of information.

Country: | That they are. They do not want there people to see what they are missing out on in the "real" world or what we might find out about them.

| One of the side effects of China's economic growth, is their people traveling more, or more westerners coming into china for business/tourism.
The people of China are seeing new things and ideas, and realising the state controlled media doesnt have a monomoply of the news.
This was one the things that finally brought down the last of the Commies in Russia.

Country: | I see it eventually happenign in China, but not for quite some time. I actually see the head of the government changing due to death or something like that and then changing the government to a democracy before that happening. Which wont happen either.
