Perfect example of a country with a legitimate humanitarian crisis going on and our government along with most of the rest of the world's governments are kissing their a$$es. There was a very good article in Rolling Stone magazine earlier this year about China's "capitolistic experimant". It seems that they have developed a large metropolis that is completely inhabited by chinese citizens who live completely outside the lines of communism. They have 9-5 jobs , three cars, big house, family, the whole works. It is like a mini USA and the whole aim is to compete on a capitolist level with the USA. All this is going on while on the other side of the wall people live like slaves to the government. They have rigged the entire country with cameras and facial recognition software that allows them to literally track their citizens in real time and know what they are up to. Then the whole Darfur situation is another humanitarian crisis that they have their hands in. Apparently Saddam Hussein gassing a few thousand people ten years ago was a much greater risk to our way of life....Pity.
