The raids, arrests, beatings, and murders have begun in Myanmar. And for the Record, the People's Republic of China, the number one ally, financial backer, and spiritual guide of the State Peace and Development Council has never done anything to discourage the junta's use of violence--though everyone believes they easily could now. Worse, in this case the PRC may have encouraged violence, for just as China successfully cracked down on (massacred) its student protesters at Tiananmen Square in 1989, so the Burmese junta is cracking down on its Buddhist-led protesters with China's tacit approval in 2007.
