In a few years the US helped kick Taiwan out of the UN and replaced them with China. The chinese killed thousands of their own people in Tiananmen Square and all the major powers after a couple of years of empty protests have been queing up for access to Chinese markets. They encourage tibetan protestors to protest and look on when the chinese hunt them down. It's not their skin,is it?
