Sir - So the Chinese government, in an almost laughable example of humbug, is demanding an apology from the United States and NATO for the embassy bombing, and a violation of the UN charter. Does this mean that the Chinese themselves will now apologise to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet for over 40 years of UN violations, not least invading and illegally occupying a foreign country, which has resulted in the deaths of over one million Tibetans and the almost total annihilation of their ancient Buddhist culture? - Yours, etc.
