Mind the China

Great Britain cynically and cravenly recognized China's control of Tibet yesterday to gain China's acquiescence on financial matters at the G-20 summit. This is dangerous as it endorses might is right and opens the doors wider to a potential attack by China on Taiwan. Ethnic Tibetans are not Chinese and even when the Dalai Lama abandoned the quest to regain Tibetan independence, China's bloody occupation did not become right. Israel should now annex all its former territory on this theory as at least it has a plausible a priori claim on the land (the Bible). While Prime Minister Brown seems to be charting a decent course calling for lower taxes, his kowtowing to China may come back to haunt him.
