Steven Spielberg doesn´t support China any more

spielberg.jpgThe film-maker, director and Oscar prizewinner Steven Spielberg doesn´t support China any more for the Olympic plays. The reason is the Sudan policy of China. ” My conscience does not allow to me to continue as usual simply … It is a matter of doing everything for the fact that stop is offered ” to the indescribable crimes against the humanity which further happen in Dafur, finally.darfur.jpg

Spielberg required in a public explanation that China must act more to finish the human tragedy in Dafur. China is one of the main buyers for Sudanese oil and maintains narrow economic relations with Sudan. In the past China has always inserted his veto in the UN Security Council if the action of the government should be condemned in Khartum.

According to estimates of NGO`s more than 200,000 people were killed during the past years in the Darfur conflict. Up to 2.5 millions were expelled, many fled in the neighbouring countries of Sudan. The Islamic government in Khartum which has the backing of China denies so far any reproach of the specific expulsion.

However, even if she says of herself: ” I believe, I will always find a way, to ruin my life.”, she is not the White Trash Queen so many supposes.
