...Bias Against China? Like other western journalists, Simon Elegant tries to attribute the anti-Western protests in China to xenophobia [May 5]. But he fails to explain why people in the U.S. and other countries share the Chinese people's outrage. Unless the West can come to terms with the fact that China is going to be a major global power, the notion that China will be a destabilizing force is more a self-fulfilling prophecy than an inevitable outcome.

...Sen’s arrest is only one event in a disturbing trend toward imprisoning journalists, human rights advocates, academics and others under India’s nebulous anti-terrorism laws. The most recent arrestee was Ajay T.G., also a leading member of PUCL-Chhattisgarh, a human rights activist and film-maker, on May 4, 2008.
