Sorry, but I cannot subscribe to this "Party Line". Chinese leaders don't go to bed with the sole preoccupation of whether or not WCDMA rollouts will be delayed. No, their chief issue is whether or not they will be able to feed, clothe and provide basic services to er...1.3 Billion people! 1/4 of humanity!

Anyway, based on our sad recent history who are we to apply moral judgements?

In the IOC decision, I think the "civilized" west has sagely realized that it cannot impose its moral values on an altogher different world. But if our values don't force them into submission from the top down, our Starbucks, mobile phones and internet will from the bottom up.
