The decision by the film director Steven Spielberg to step down as artistic consultant to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games should prompt other influential outsiders to press China to reform, Human Rights Watch said today. Corporate sponsors, governments and National Olympic Committees should urge Beijing to improve human rights conditions in China, Human Rights Watch said.
it's unfair and unresonable to pressure china by boybotting 2008 olympic games. spielberg's resign itself is a humilation to olympic games, which is SPORTS meeting, but not political tool. sudan prolblem is not a over-night one, but why did spielberg choose this occasion to pull out? why didnot he refuse at first? obeviously, he had malicious intention. besides, is Darfur the only humanitarian crisis in the world? how do you view other problems in the world,such as Iraq,afganistan middle east or congo? how many innocent people are being killed everyday except in Darfur? and do not you think MOST OF these casuaties are caused by US? spielberg, why not quit you american citizenship to protest the american policies towards Iraq,middle-east.you hypocrite. the so-called human rights peoblems in china are not the same as those who DO NOT undersand china at all said. different history and diffrent culture certainly cause different views on many issues, including views on human rights,policies and ideologies. those who criticize human rights in china need understand china's history and reality by visiting china themselves. or, with your standards and point-of-view, china will never match the so-called human rights standards. due to different history and development courses, it is impossible to realize same human rights all around the world. and requests on china are unfair at all,and also go against human rights.

I would like to nominate Spielberg as an honorary Angry African for the day. He did not have to do it. He wasn’t under a lot of pressure. But he did it in any case. And we applaud him for doing that.
I recently wrote in my blog - Angry African on the Loose - that Harare should be given the next Olympics - if the Olympics follow their own argument and values in the same way they argued in favour of Beijing. See my blog(http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/and-the-olympics-goes-to- zimbabwe/ for more details. Steven you make us proud. You are now one of us! http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/
