Surrendering to China's growing economic power, western politicians close their eyes to China's notorious human rights record in recent years. Concerning about losing enormous business contracts (i.e. ... from Boeing, Microsoft and GE to wheats, corns, and soybeans) with China's government, very few political leaders dare to criticize China's wrongdoings. China dominates the political-economic games and sniggers at the fragile "western democracy". Politician's tolerance toward China's human rights record was the cause of those tragedies happened in Tiananmen Square, Tibet, and every nook and corner in China.
If the Westerns still bury their heads in the sand, today's Tibet might reflects tomorrow's Taiwan. And eventually, people who live in this freedom soil will not just lose their partners in Asia but will get hurt for their apartness.
Some people expect that the growing economy in China will eventually transforms its autocracy into a open society. I believe there is a good opportunity for such progress only when the worlds constantly guided China's government the right direction it should turn to. Otherwise, China's growing economic power might end in becoming a disaster to all human beings.
