financial influence which is dominating. The U.S. has been criticising

China's trading decisions.

News Analysis - Double Standards
Hamad bin Jassim, Qatar Foreign Minister: "Call on the Syrian army to stop the violence against civilians."
International political standards seem to be reflected differently depending on interests. When people die in Syria, it is called a massacre by some of the international community, so much so that the Arab League has suspended Damascus from the organization.
When people die in Yemen, many meetings are set up with some Arab organizations and at the end, the dictator remains in power and continues to kill as Arab leaders look the opposite direction. And then there is Bahrain, that when people are arrested or killed, the story is simply ignored.
