But you didn't see any AP or Reuters stories about it. AP Bureau guy Christopher Bodeen has a facebook page you can send messages to asking why. Is it like Cuba where reporters follow the party line or the bureau is closed?

Seoul says it might (gasp) raise this with the U.N. Human Rights Council — without mentioning China by name. But despite all the recent hyperventilations about alleged U.S. unilateralism, no nation has does so much to make the U.N. ineffective, or done it so deliberately, as China. When I see activists gathering the support of lawyers, judges, and governments to draft and serve indictments against Bashar Asad for crimes against humanity, I envy their creativity and their ability to attract media interest. Good luck getting that idea past the likes of Glyn Davies and Wendy Sherman. It isn’t that any of this would have real legal effect, of course. The idea is that if the public reaction is sufficiently intense to harm Chinese diplomatic and economic interests, China will hesitate to do this again. And it’s almost a sure thing that Hu Jintao has murdered as many North Koreans through his decisions as Bashar Asad has murdered Syrians through his. The problem is that the outrage of most South Koreans has a selective blind spot when it comes to North Koreans.

I am sure China kills many each day. Of course you won't see this in our home media.

Oh your children or grandchildren will see it soon enough.

Read the book Bowing to Beijing, and/or listen regularly to John Bachelor. the topic on Bachelor has been discussed for two years that I've been listening.
