In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Read Rebecca's detailed explanation of what's going, although as usual the details are not clear. Perhaps with a build-up of pressure this can be turned into an issue ahead of President Hu's visit to America in late April.
