The Writer's Lounge - March 2008

NZ is damned if it does and damned if it doesn'... (LINK)

March 23rd 2008 02:16

Little New Zealand with a population of only 4 million is on the verge of signing a free trade agreement with giant China with a population of 1.3 billion.

But New Zealand is coming under intense criticisms at home for not speaking out against the Chinese attacks against Tibetan protestors in Tibet.

New Zealand is damned if it does, and damned if it doesn't.

What is the New Zealand prime minister to do? As Helen Clark is in the process of physically signing the FTA, is she expected to put down the pen and state," By the way I would appreciate very much if you would desist from taking police and military action against Tibetan protestors. Thanks very much." Yeah right!
