Sir, - I echo the sentiments of the panda expert Mr Li Guanghan of Chengdu (The Irish Times, August 14th). There is no doubt about it: "China's leading position in the artificial fertilisation of giant pandas" is a wonder. And, ecologically, good news.
But the midst of his rapture, we should not lose sight of a few other really important things upon which China might usefully focus - such as human rights, the import of the Kyoto Treaty and, lest we forget, Tibet. - Yours, etc.,
Eamon Sweeney, South Hill, Dartry, Dublin 6.
