China sends troops to Darfur, Sudan

Unfortunately for African Sudanese, they will get a Chinese version of "harmonization" via the barrel of a gun.

Cynical readers know that Washington has geopolitical motives. But whether one calls it a genocide or not, you can't deny a problem exists. Even the article you cited says "all observers acknowledge that Darfur has seen a large human displacement and human misery and tens of thousands or even as much as 300,000 deaths in the last several years."

China the cause? No. China a contributing factor? Yes. Sudan's government is largely responsible for the continuation of the actual killing. And China has largely shielded Sudan from the worst of what could befall the country due to geopolitical motives. This does open China to the accusation of being a supporting factor for the continuation of the situation, despite Washington's motives in using the G word.

You don't have to side with Washington to see this and you don't have to deny China's right to partake in geopolitical strategy. But hovering around symantics with comments like "genocise (sic) doesn't exist at all" when even the article you cite mentions the excessive scope of the problem as well as the fact that China has a role in its continuation due to similar geopolitical considerations as the US has is kind of disingenuous.

Well Mia Farrow's agenda is simply congruous to Washington's. I think she doesn't criticise Washington because she, like Washington, wants a more extensive peacekeeping force to be sent. It just so happens that Washington's interest is geopolitical and hers is humanitarian.

So I can understand why she does not criticise Washington. Washington would, for its own reasons, do what she wants to be done. This does not mean that she feels Washington is not involved in a geopolitical resource hunt. Washington just happens to be on her side. Her point is simply that China could be doing more.
