China is Sudan’s largest oil customer and supporter. However, the Darfur region of Sudan is plagued by war and genocide. Director Steven Spielberg adds some pressure on China by expressing that he may quit the post of artistic adviser of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Spielberg wrote an open letter to Hu Jintao, president of China. “I am writing this letter to you, not as one of the overseas artistic advisors to the Olympic Ceremonies, but as a private citizen who has made a personal commitment to do all I can to oppose genocide. … Accordingly, I add my voice to those who ask that China change its policy toward Sudan and pressure the Sudanese government to accept the entrance of United Nations peacekeepers to protect the victims of genocide in Darfur,” Spielberg wrote.

No one likes war and I believe China can really do something about the Darfur genocide. Peace man.
