The generals may seem to have won on surface but deep down they've losy BIG TIME! Do you think that they would ever dare to face a monk (you have to differentiate between the conventional or samudhi sangha and ariya sangha here) especially an 'ariya sangha'? No way! If they claim themselves to be buddhists then they are to be abandoned forever in the 'neither worlds' throughout the samsara. I don't about India but China should be very worried if they keep on supporting the military regime. They have much to lose. Olympics is just one of them. There's not much time left for them to play their part as a 'responsible international citizen' by putting pressure on the generals for change. The issue on Burma is just but one of the things that China for it's narrow economic gains is causing a lot of sufferrings to the people in both Asia and Africa. Will members of the ASEAN (for which its creation was mainly to protect themselves against China) feel safe to deal with China if it became clear that China will do anything, ethical or not, if it is for its narrow economic interests. One thing China has to remember is that "she can choose her friends but she can't choose her neighbours". Dear Petra,

One thing China has to remember is that “she can choose her friends but she can’t choose her neighbours”.
