#1 In other words; China so desires the start of Sudan's oil flow that they would cheerfully ignore the horrendous genocide which is taking place in that country.

China already craves Iranian oil to the point where they have no compunctions about destabilizing the entire Middle East so long as they get their petroleum.

When will people realize that China is willing to countenance to most revolting sort of tyrants and crimes against humanity so long as it does not impede their own economic juggernaut?

The remaining world, especially the United States, is left cleaning up the mess that China leaves in their wake as they saunter off in search of some new horror to keep us distracted from their evildoing.

#3 Zen, I read the Chinese policy as pro-genocide. Remember, in China George C Scott's line about greasing the treads of tanks with people isn't a threat, it's preventive maintenance.
