i find the article absurd as it is coming from a journalist. I wish u were born in China, then u wud know wht is it like to 'report' about something.
I find the line "But is it entirely correct to link China's giant strides to its indifference to human rights?" equally amusing, again coming from a journo. Kashmir remains a lost world even today bcoz of democracy. In the same way, laloos and mayas have to do regular rounds of courts bcoz of democracy and their misdeeds. u shud have been born in Tibet, Ms. Author.
