Amnesty International Shocked by Hillary's Stance on Human Rights in China

Shocked huh? Well get used to it my misguided, liberal, nutroot friends. Obama's foreign policy is modeled after China's. Which is to say, it is a policy without demands of morality, civility or humanity. It is a policy of economics without strings attached. Hillary's stance on China is just the tip of the Iceberg. See Obama's stance on Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.

Amnesty International and a pro-Tibet group voiced shock Friday after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed not to let human rights concerns hinder cooperation with China.

Paying her first visit to Asia as the top US diplomat, Clinton said the United States would continue to press China on long-standing US concerns over human rights such as its rule over Tibet.

"But our pressing on those issues can't interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis," Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing.
The Obama approach is plucked straight from the Chinese playbook. It is the Chinese model not to demand democracy, freedom or even human rights of its trading partners. This allows China to build powerful trade alliances with dictators and other despots. To the Chinese, the bottom line is the bottom line. And this is the policy that the Obama administration has embarked upon. So, liberals are just going to have to shut their pie holes and accept that their Messiah is not going to demand decency or civility, and certainly not humanity of nations with whom he seeks an economic alliance.
