I think the fundamental problem is that several parties to this controversy essentially want an article written from a sympathetic point of view. I suggest that they should have that freedom on Wikipedia with critical views in a seperate article perhaps entitled, China: A crititical view.
I think this is a very bad idea _for wikipedia_. I think the idea of a website with critical essays written in wiki-fashion is an interesting one, but it isn't right for us.
The problem are not limited to this particular question but extend to deletion of mention of the democracy movement and of Tiananmen protests.
Who deleted those things? I would say that no article on China could be NPOV without discussing those things.
