BBC World

In the last few hours, access to BBC World has been blanked whenever it carries a report about the Olympic torch. This is obviously due to events in London & Paris, and Chinese displeasure.

I am all for protest, but I am trying to look at the issue through both Western and Chinese lenses. Protests and talk of boycots may backfire, ensuring that China halts opening up. This isn't just an inter-governmental issue; the Chinese people will be well pissed off with the West.

I may write more on this when I get back and am hopefully more articulate.
