Re: A letter from the world's Nobel laureates to China: You must act on Darfur (Re: Mohamed Omer)

Critics say that because it buys Sudan's oil and sells it weapons, China must share responsibility for the war in Darfur and its atrocities. In particular they point to Beijing's decision to block tougher action by the UN security council
China buys two-thirds of Sudan's oil, an estimated 500,000 barrels a day, worth about £2bn a year. Amnesty International alleges that in return China sells millions of pounds' worth of arms to Khartoum in defiance of a UN embargo. Beijing denies such a breach
Several analysts suggest China has begun to exert more pressure on the regime. Last year it appointed a special envoy to Sudan and helped persuade the regime to accept a UN peacekeeping force, including a small number of Chinese soldiers. This week, nine Nobel peace prize laureates — including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel — wrote to China's president, Hu Jintao, urging his country to press Sudan harder
