Will this change China's place in the world?


On a Washington conference table one cold January day sixteen years ago was a very simple offer. In return for Beijing's support at the United Nations for a war against Iraq—which until then it had rejected—the United States would make no public objection to China's "final solution" for all their student demonstrators on Tiananmen Square. Beijing had decided the students would stand trial the day after the deadline against Iraq expired. In return for US compliance, President Bush would have China's support for the war. Another great deal for mankind.

In the meantime China has clamped down more and more mercilessly upon the 'minority' people trapped and disenfranchised in their own countries. Whilst we try and save Tibet here in London, China is building hatred of Tibetans in its homeland. There are going to be more clashes more killings. The Uighurs, enboldened by the effort of the Tibetans have started an expanding protest. There are 8 million Uighurs among the population of 19 million (imported) Han in Xinjiang province The Uighurs have begun to protest against the clampdown in Tibet.

Will this change China's place in the world?

Don't stop talking. Look what's happenning.
