Burma’s monks are its people’s truest representatives, symbols of all they
hold in reverence. By corralling them in their monasteries and brutally
clearing their supporters off the streets, General Than Shwe’s junta has
handed China a terrible foreign policy dilemma, even harder to handle than
the nuclear roguery of North Korea.

Neighbouring Burma puts to the test, far more sharply than China’s cosseting
of more distant Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, Sudan and Iran, the pledge, implicit
in Hu Jintao’s “peaceful rise”, that China will use its power responsibly.
In Burma, China has influence that it is under intense international
pressure to use. Yet Burma’s popular uprising is a strong reminder of its
own “crowd control” problems; for Beijing is annually confronted by tens of
thousands of local protests, some violent.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/rosemary_righter/article2563025.ece"> Burma is not just China’s neighbour; it
