“The Chinese government dropped explosive espionage charges against executives of a foreign mining giant, the Anglo-Australian Rio Tinto, after a global corporate outcry. And on Thursday, the government said it had backed off another contentious plan to install censorship software on all new computers sold here.”

There is always a sting and a string attached to whatever China does.China is not backing down, but waiting to pounce at an opportune moment.Though unpublished, the current China economic boom is not as much as it wants the world to believe in.At least in countries like US,Economy is open for every one to see and comment;unemployment is being critically discussed.In China except the Statisticians and the top echelons of the Central Comitte, no body knows anything about what exactly is taking place.When there is a protest due to cut back in jobs, it is labelled as rioting among ethnics and suppressed.China is back tracking because it needs West much more than West needs it.Time the West realizes that and apply economic pressure to bring China to acceptable form of behavior,political,human rights and economic.
