China Removed from Human Rights Violator List Three Days Before Tibet

China Terrorizes Tibet - New York Times

Oh hooray for China! You've been removed from the US State Department's list of gross human rights violators! Yaaaay!
(Even though they admit you're still doing a shitty job)

Oh wait, Tibet's protesting? Gotta shut that down right quick! 600 people in jail and several dead protestors?

No biggie.



I cannot fathom what strings were pulled to get this. Did China have its banks call in the loans we owe? Is that how this happened? Honestly.
China was supposed to behave itself in order to get the Olypmics, and it clearly isn't. This is ridiculous.
