Regime Watch: Beijing

Today the Associated Press is reporting that the Chinese Foreign Ministry has confirmed that a Chinese ship full of Chinese arms bound for the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe will return to China.

Its not that Beijing had a change of heart about arming the Robert Mugabe regime, but rather because neighboring nations refused to allow the ship to dock so the weapons could be off-loaded and delivered to land-locked Zimbabwe.

Here is my original post on this story, including a section on Mugabe’s torture tactics against his opposition.
