China and Darfur: let’s follow Spielberg’s lead

FILM director Steven Spielberg should be congratulated for his decision to pull out of his role as artistic director of the Beijing Olympic Games due to China’s involvement in the Darfur crisis.

Using their veto power on the UN security council, China has consistently blocked the delivery of an effective peacekeeping force to the region.

This is not to mention the fact that Sudan is a huge customer of China’s arms industry.
