Entertaining & highly topical music video - the 1st to draw together multiple threads around the Olympics and Chinese foreign policy. Non-partisan and thought-provoking.
The video tells a story about the Olympic torch, asking why it never made it to places like Zimbabwe and Sudan, even though the Chinese government are big friends with the regimes in those countries. The video contrasts some of the hardships experienced with pictures of the Chinese premier shaking hands with various leaders. Towards the end of the video, the compromises our own leaders have had to make are highlighted, making the point there are no easy answers for us here.
'Chinese Friends' has already been featured on SW Radio Africa, and received favourable write-ups on Sokwanele, a prominent Zimbabwean human rights blog.
