By The Light Of A Burning Bridge - China's UN Amb Orders US To 'Shut Up' Agencies 8-17-6 China's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva told America on Thursday to shut up and keep quiet on the subject of Beijing's growing military spending. Interviewed for a BBC radio programme on the topic, Sha Zukang also said China would do the business and sacrifice its own people's lives if any nation supported a declaration of independence by Taiwan. Responding to jitters within the Bush administration about Beijing's spiraling military budget, Sha said America itself accounts for half of the entire world's military spending. "The China population is six times or five times that of the United States," he said. "Why blame China?... It's better for the US to shut up and keep quiet. It's much, much better." His voice rising, Sha continued: "It's the US's sovereign right to do whatever they deem good for them -- But don't tell us what is good for China. Thank you very much!"
