The BBC has uncovered evidence of Chinese military support for Sudanese forces in Darfur. Given the arrest warrant sought today by the ICC’s chief prosecutor for Sudan’s president on charges of genocide, that is reckless behavior on the part of China. It always astonishes me that China is so sensitive to its image being hurt by anti-government demonstrations, yet will sully its own image by helping out with genocide in Sudan.

As my favorite NY Times columnist, Nicholas Kristof, points out that China not only supports the Bashir regimein Sudan, but also, along with Russia, amazingly vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for an arms embargo on Zimbabwe!!!
