South Africa bars Dalai Lama from peace conference

Masebe insisted that his government was not bowing to pressure from China.

“We make our own decisions,” he said.

But only when China say it’s alright to do so.

South Africa, the next Zimbabwe.

The world seems to have catch this nastry disease called 'Sino-phobia'. If China makes a protest that so-and-so shouldn't be allowed in most government complied without much fuss, some defied and apologised later. What is worse, South Africa seems to have forgotten that it will not be what it is today if people around the world has stood up in defiance of gross injustice such as Apartheid. Have we lost our humanity because of our greed?

grafton: check your facts on Zimbabwe before you post crap. South Africa is the culprit that destroyed Zimbabwe and bluffed the world... it's not the saint you've led yourselves to believe. SOuth Africa does make up its own mind and not in a pretty way I might add.
