Nevertheless the UN desperately needs china to help especially as China has a substantial amount of leverage on Myanmar. Unfortunately china and Myanmar are the few regimes that are willing to kill in order to stay in power. I have hoped that china would phase out of this and come to the realization that it doesnt work. I fear the sanctions won't suppress the convulsion in Myanmar.

And you are wrong or lying.

Ohh I see the little racist thugs are in here too.

Surprise, surprise.

Please let me know where you are all from so we can have some fun.

I'm Australian living in China.
How about you guys?
Where are you all from.

Let's see if we can have some good discussions here.

Tibet outside China's control.
Sorry, no can do.
In fact all of China was in and out of control over the centuries but it was still China.
Look at some western world maps during the 18th and 19th century.

Was America in America's control then?
Oh no, that's right. They needed to exterminate a few Indians first.
Run along, run along....

What's next on the agenda.
Now I know you guys like links to everything but I'm not giving you any.
You see I know how you work.
You sit on your arses and know nothing about China but shoot your big mouths of anyway.
If you're really interested go google the report from the economist magazine.
You will find the Chinese were very slow reacting to the riots which hardly sounds like a police state does it.
Let me know what you think about the poor young Chinese girls burned alive by the peaceful monks.
Ohhh, I forgot, they don't don't count do they. They're just Chinese.

Finally, I despise the Junta in Burma. They are nothing but pigs in uniform.
I hope that China does use pressure against them but modern China has a policy of non interference.
It will take time for a true foreign affairs policy to emerge and I encourage them to do so.

I started visiting from the mid eighties just for fun and came back about 5 years ago to live.
I have a small Company in H.K but live with the real people in China and work from home.

Unless they are big Companies they are wasting their time.
I think most are in the mining industry where things are really hot at the moment.
Bloody hell, Australia is turning into one big open cut mine.
The Aussie dollar at 0.93 is driving a lot of them.
It's almost impossible to manufacture and export based on those rates.
Still my money would be with H.K for small business and Cambodia for medium.

Cune isn't a communist.  China isn't communist.   It's a carefully guided capitalist economy.

"Totalitarian" implies secret police, people living brutally repressed lives, everything controlled by the government, but it isn't actually true.  The only thing oppressing them is in fact resulting from the weakening and opening up, which has led to corruption and pollution and poor safety standards etc.  Far from being a classically over-controlled fascist/totalitarian state, its main problems are resulting from a move away from that.

IMVHO.
