At what point does the world hold China to account for Burma?

The tragedy in Burma (Myanmar) is getting the world community very mad at both the government of Burma and now of China, which borders the country. China is the only country with a good relationship with the Military Junta but with the problems of delivering aid to the innocent civilians in that country now more at peril it is about time the world speaks out not only about the Military leadership in Burma but now the role that China is playing here. Too many world problems are connected to China. There is North Korea, Somalia and the Darfur genocide, Tibet, Iran and now Burma. When is the world going to see that all roads lead to China. And with this latest appalling action of seizing the aid from the U.N. and hoarding it from their citizens, the world can not sit by. If China is not immediately helpful here, the Olympics should not be attended by anyone including athletes. China should not get a pass here. This is a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportion and if China wants to be a part of the civilized world then it needs to act more civilized and use its influence, pressure and threat of hostility if necessary to help the innocent people suffering in Burma.

Wake up!

China must pay a price for Burma, Tibet and Darfur


Burma places opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in prison, taken from house arrest, because of the demonstrations in the country led by hundreds of Monks and joined by hundreds of thousands of its citizens. We can make a difference by putting the correct pressure on the Chinese government, who is also involved in supporting this government as well as the government of the Sudan and the responsibility for the Darfur tragedy.

You can make a difference by not supporting the Olympics to be held in China next year. Let's boycott watching the Olympics, going to the Olympics and buying anything associated with the Olympics. Take a stand against China with words and actions. They also are responsible for the terrible things they have done to erase Tibetan culture. It is time they get some attention by the world. Start by adding one voice at a time to bring attention to China's role in these tragedies. All their financial gains should be put at risk. Don't buy anything made in China. Read product labels carefully and let's make a big dent in their economic gains. There must be a price to pay for their complicity in these tragedies. It is not about going to our Malls and buying cheap products. If they want to be respected as an imporatnt Global power, then they need to behave like one.
