MEDIA: Gregory Clark, the former Aussie diplomat who is the Michelle Malkin of China commentators, has a new gem out:

The Han Chinese are supposed to be guilty of creeping genocide in Tibet. But since Beijing allows Tibetans, like other minorities, to have as many children as they want while Han Chinese are restricted to only one child, it seems we need a new definition of genocide.

There's more of that, including the disasters that would ensure if China were a democracy....hard to imagine that people think that in the real world.
