I've been thinking about the proximity of China to Burma. China is very concerned right now with it's world image. With it's very recent negative press of toy recalls, poisoned pets, air pollution that impairs athlete's abilities and dreadful human rights history, China is desperate to clean up it's image and present itself as a safe, welcoming and desirous destination for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
With the kind of events happening at one of China's borders I hope they use their might to wield some kind of agreement for the Junta to back off. As self serving as it may be, they may be the only ones big enough to do it. Financially China is very necessary to Burma's ruling Junta.
Ah the irony... Tibet? Well, that's for another blog.
