pix: geekologie.comWhy politicizing the torch?
Please keep the Olympic neutral!
The United States has been very vocal about Chinese foreign policy in Sudan. The US also makes a lot of noise about Human Rights in Tibet.
Some hidden power is riding on the Olympic publicity to paint bad image on China in the global eyes.
Perhaps the United States should look at its own foreign policy. Why are they still pumping the crude oil out of Iraq when Saddam Hussein is already dead and not even a single weapon of mass destruction has been found.
And if the United States is so genuine about democracy bla bla bla... then why is China is still an important trading partner. Why does the US still buys Chinese products.
International politics, and our very own local politics, are full of hypocrisy.
Total two-way trade between China and the United States grew from $33 billion in 1992 to over $386 billion in 2007. The United States is China's second-largest trading partner, and China is now the third-largest trading partner for the United States (after Canada and Mexico). U.S. exports to China have been growing more rapidly than to any other market (up 21% in 2005, 32% in 2006, and 18% in 2007). U.S. imports from China grew 12% in 2007, bringing the U.S. trade deficit with China to $256 billion. - US Department of States
All these issues should be addressed in the United Nations, NOT the Olympics!
