| Publisher Description: As the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing approach, the government of China is promoting itself as a harmonious and peaceful rising world power. But behind this fa ade is another China, one that places its economic development and energy needs over its human rights responsibilities. Investing in Tragedy makes the case that through its money, arms and politics, China has helped to sustain the violence in the war torn region of Darfur, Sudan. More than five years into the conflict, China continues to strengthen its relationship with the government of Sudan despite the government's record of mass atrocities in Darfur. The report recommends that for China to be accepted as the responsible world power it claims to be, it should begin by immediately stopping all weapons sales to Sudan.This is a Human Rights First report.
