Good for you Spielberg. I've not really had a reason to have immense respect for Steven Spielberg, until now. Up until recently, he was serving as artistic director or advisor to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Well that's over now. He resigned his position as a protest to the Chinese government's involvement in selling arms to the Sudanese government.
China is bound and determined to only use their superpowers for evil instead of good. They make money arming Sudan's government while investing in their oil industry which has been dragging ass on ending the violence against non-Arab Sudanese. The Chinese government wants their cake and to eat it too. They want respect as an industrial country while doing dealings like this. I think it is high time to call for a boycott of the Olympics. What the Olympics stand for, China sure doesn't fit the spirit of it.
Check out the story at the BBC.
