To Highlight China 's Role/irresponsible policies in Enabling Burma's Brutal Dictatorship Protest Rally in front of the Chinese Consulate On the Eve of Olympic Closing was held by BADA with success. China is celebrating and making history by hosting world's precious Olympic that would be concluded coming weekends.
