The Guardian, Wednesday September 19th:
China spells out its terms
China has set out its terms for cooperation with the US, hinting
at the need for assurances on US policy towards Tibet. A foreign
ministry spokesman said the US had to support and understand
its fight against terrorism and separaists.
"We should not have double standards," he said. China
says it faces a threat from Islamist terrorists in the north-west
region of Xinjiang bordering on Central Asia.

The Guardian, Letters, Saturday September 22nd:
Double Standards
China says the US "had to support and understand its fight
against terrorism and separatists" (China spells out its
terms, September 19.) The real terrorists are the murdering forces
of the People's Liberation Army who have slaughtered 1.2m Tibetans
since 1950.
The Tibetans shame both China and we in the west for our double
standards.
While we argue about which form of violence we will return for
violence, the Tibetans continue with their peaceful struggle.
These rare people have resisted succumbing to the hatred of "an
eye for an eye".
