The recent “saffron revolution” in Burma presented China with not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to exert its influence. Yet it failed the test of statesmanship once again by sitting on its hands and merely calling for restraint.
最近缅甸的“僧侣革命”带给中国不仅是一个挑战，而且也是一个发挥影响力的机会。但是中国无所作为，仅仅呼吁克制，从而再一次在政治家测试中不及格。由于中国的勾结，缅甸人们的痛苦在持续。
