CHINA: Beijing urges West not to 'politicise' Olympics
Updated
Chinese state media have accused Western nations of seeking to use this year's Olympics to unfairly pressure Beijing, saying boycotts by movie director Steven Spielberg and others have "disgusted" the Chinese people. On Wednesday Mr Spielberg said he was quitting as an artistic adviser to the Beijing Games because China was doing too little to help halt the bloodshed in Sudan's Darfur region. Nine Nobel Peace laureates have written to President Hu Jintao urging a change of policy towards Sudan, where China has big oil investments.
Presenter: Steve Holland
Speakers: Actress Mia Farrow; Professor Bruce Jacobs, Chinese specialist at Monash University; Beijing residents.
