Like I said, the Chinese government probably has it's reasons for doing what it does. And even if you do bring down this firewall-do you really think the government will just admit defeat? As for 1989, could the U.S or any other nation do anything during the Tien-a-mien massacre? No. Because each country has the right to manage it's own affairs-even if that may see unfair to us.
Including Sudan?
Countries don't go out of their way to help each other without there being something for them to gain The U.S is not trying to bring democracy to China in the interest of goodwill, the former has major geo-political interests in two emerging powers (China and India) the Americans are just trying to achieve their longterm goals by bringing about a change in the Chinese government so that when the U.S tries to better it's ties with that nation, it will not be accused of supporting the oppressive Peoples' Government. If indeed America wanted to rescue the oppressed why did it turn a blind eye to Tibet and (more importantly) the Rwandan genocide?
Tibet is a part of China because it was given to them by the British after WWI to keep it out of the hands of the Russians. The British have profitted greatly by giving away what nevr belonged to them. It's a trick they learned from Napoleon.
Rwanda has no strategic importance.
