China's dilemma over Darfur


China has worked hard over the past few months to show it is doing all it can to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region.
It has appointed a special envoy, sent peacekeeping troops to the region and embarked on a publicity campaign to persuade others it is being responsible.
This was done in part to prevent anyone linking China's close relationship with Sudan to the Olympics Games.
But for Steven Spielberg it was still not enough.
His decision to withdraw as artistic adviser to the Games' opening and closing ceremonies will be seen as a huge blow.


China is trying to show the world that they are working hard to eliminate humiliation in Sudan. They have been doing this for the past few months and since China imports two thirds of Sudans oil, they are a said to be Sudan's biggest arns supplier.
