Extract: "Are the US and the European Union (EU) planning to dangle over the head of China the Damocles' Sword of a possible boycott of next year's Beijing Olympics in order to make China to be more amenable to Western pressure on issues such as greater democracy and respect for human rights in China, genuine religious freedom, greater co-operation with the international community in exercising pressure on the unpopular military junta in Myanmar to give up its policy of repression and greater respect for the human rights of the Tibetans and talks with the Dalai Lama on the future of Tibet?" - b.raman
