Classy as always China

Courtesy of the BBC: China 'is fuelling war in Darfur'

The BBC has found the first evidence that China is currently helping Sudan's government militarily in Darfur.

The Panorama TV programme tracked down Chinese army lorries in the Sudanese province that came from a batch exported from China to Sudan in 2005.

The BBC was also told that China was training fighter pilots who fly Chinese A5 Fantan fighter jets in Darfur.

China's government has declined to comment on the BBC's findings, which contravene a UN arms embargo on Darfur.

Not really a big surprise. China has always been the one standing in the way of the UN doing anything in the Sudan. Genocide and other various delightful war crimes are going on this second and China is deciding to help cleanse a little more efficiently. As shown earlier that's pretty much been their position in Zimbabwe as well. Sell arms, enable genocide, prop up dictators, stand in the way of action, profit. It's our GWOT playbook writ larger and dirtier, if that's possible.

Try not to remember that during the Olympics. It'll be easy, because you won't be reminded of any of it.
