  Posted by Jeff from Los Angeles Times
  If American investors pull their money from companies that fund the Sudanese government, Sterling believes that government will be forced to curtail atrocities by its forces and allied militias in their fight against Darfur rebels. In four years of conflict, more than 200,000 villagers in the region have died and more than 2.5 million have fled their homes, the U.N. says.

Rights groups bemoan lack of Beijing protests

Yeah, you’re right about that, but unlike other communist dictatorships China is allowing westernization and capitalism in at the edges. The USSR collapsed, and Venezuela is heading that way, because they didn’t allow it.
I think it will be interesting to see how that evolves, especially as illegal internet access starts to creep in around the edges.
It’s a wonder that there are still people in the west singing the virtues of communism. Some of them teach in and run our colleges and Universities.

Communist dictatorship suppresses dissent.
What’s the matter, you thought the Chinese government was nice?
Think of the most oppressive government action you can.
Then check to see if China has done it.
You’ll find it has.

Well, it’s China. Is anyone surprised by this?
I think that as time goes on China will find it increasing hard to keep that iron lock on society and still allow modernization. It will be interesting see see how that resolves.
