China's Support Of Genocidal And Autocratic Regimes...

Support for Sudan in its genocidal treatment of negro Africans has the full support and veto power of China in the UN Security Council. Burma's autocratic regime's only friend in the world today is China.

However, Zimbabwe's Mugabe, with hat in hand gets blown off by the Chinese when he was looking for US$300 million in aid to pay his upcoming debts to the IMF.

Why not? Well, we know that Sudan has lots of oil and so Beijing will support whomever is control there. CNOOC or one of the other large Chinese oil companies has rights to large concessions for drilling in that humanitarian disaster of a country. Burma is in China's sphere of influence and frankly, they probably like some of the autocratic methods employed by the military government there, so they feel a kind of kinship. In addition, they have lectured the world not to interfere on the internal affairs of Burma, harkening back to the good old days of commie babble. Maybe Zimbabwe just does not figure anymore in China's plans and offer very little of value to the Mandarins. They have larger and more tasty fish to fry these days.
