China’s Scared.
After reading the two articles I can say that China is in somewhat fear of what could happen to the Olympics and their reputation if they don’t start pressuring the peacekeeping act on the sudanese government. In both articles they talk about China starting to pressure Sudan about the peacekeepers and also in the second article it talks about new bombs being dropped in the Jabel Moun area. After reading these article it seems Sudan is being very strict with their rules on what troops are allowed to come in to Darfur because scandanavian troops were denied entry and Thai battallion are still waiting approval. Which indicates that Sudan feels threatened by the U.N.’s progress in this whole ordeal. Personally I think that Sudan is trying to use the littlest things to keep troops out of there and I aslo think that China is using this opportunity to regain some countries respect. China must feel threatened that people like Steven Speilberg, who can make a influence on people, have left their role in the Olympics this summer because of these conflicts and because they feel that its not right. I’m assuming that is a primary reason as to why China has decided to speak up now and not before. But overall it seems that these conflicts are nearing an end slowly but surely so please help make a change by participating March 6th.
