"The principle of protection of human rights cannot be invoked in a particular situation and disregarded in a similar one. To apply it selectively is to debase it." Javier Perez de Cuellar, Former UN Secretary-General, 1991

Obama Stands Up to China and Gets Slapped Down
Obama gets slammed for human rights abuses by CounterPunch.
So seriously, China has never committed human rights abuses? Does TIBET ring a bell? What about all of their political prisoners, including the famous Ai Wei Wei case? What about slave labor in the sweltering iPad factories? What about the Chinese government having the right to drown entire villages for hydroelectric dam projects and moving people into new "housing", often substandard compared to what they had before?
Obama is the same man who met with the Dalai Lama, even though the Chinese asked him not to do so.
