China Claims Support From Almost 100 Countries Over Tibet

According to China’s official news agency, Xinhua, “near 100 countries had already demonstrated support for China’s action in the Tibet riot.” Given that as of 2006 the United nations had 192 members, China must be feeling fairly confident of its path of repression, with countries like these at its back:
North Korea
Mongolia
Bangladesh
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Tajikistan
Georgia
Nepal
Syria
Fiji
Serbia
Zambia
Sierra Leone
Ivory Coast
Benin
Russia
Vietnam
Belarus
Pakistan
Mauritania
Singapore
Lesotho
India

More are listed here, in another Xinhua report.
Cuba
Venezuela
Iraq
Oman

However, that’s only 27 named. In most cases what China takes as support is statements in support of “the rule of law” and such similar empty phrases, most coming from countries that are outlaws to the world and their own people but insist on their tyranny being respected as lawful state privilege.

However, that’s all China needs to continue along its way of crushing dissent, that others look away, mouthing platitudes. The weak response from most countries, including in the West most particularly, are not of much difference from the more supportive despots.
