The article discusses the Chinese government's reaction to internal protests and conflict in the months leading up to the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Human rights activists criticize China for refusing to help stop genocide in Darfur, Sudan. It is suggested that China's forceful suppression of demonstrations in Tibet, China is due to the Chinese government's desire to extinguish any problematic unrest before the Olympics. China's foreign relations are strained.
