The new and unexpected spirit of co-operation on the part of the Sudanese government is almost certainly the result of one of the great political ironies of our times -- the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. China has, since 2003 when the genocide in Darfur began, blocked every UN attempt to alleviate the genocide. Sudan was left free to have its way without fear of sanctions or intervention. But as the Olympics approach, China has become increasingly conscious of its image, preening for the world, and being a sponsor of African genocide does not look good. In the absence of a Chinese veto and facing the threat of international sanctions, Khartoum agreed to accept an international military force.
Canada is a country that likes to think of itself as having a foreign policy driven by the high ideals of liberal internationalism - what I take to be the advance of universally recognized and widely accepted human rights and the creation of effective and legitimate international institutions. An exceptional voice, Evans notes, was Chester Ronning, a Department of External Affairs official and later special envoy in Asia, who constantly urged closer ties, even solidarity, with Maoist China - including supporting its disastrous initiation of the Korean War and releasing a film based on his 1971 visit to the country praising the Cultural Revolution (Ronning 1974).
