Meanwhile in China

China was one of only 11 countries who have officially congratulated Ahmadinejad on his "victory." The other big player on that list - Russia. The Beijing government needs Iran's oil, and these days seems a tad less sinister than the Russian government, who do not need the oil but want the influence.

In a possible concession to Chinese netizens, Beijing today appeared to back down on its plan to have "Green Dam Youth escort" filtering software bunlded into every new computer.

Tomorrow, a huge pro-democracy march is planned, held every July 1 since Hing Kong became part of China again.
