from CNN.com, on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent trip to China- The headline: "Chinese human rights can't interfere with other crises"
"The United States will continue to press China on issues such as Tibet, Taiwan and human rights, she told reporters accompanying her.
"Successive administrations and Chinese governments have been poised back and forth on these issues, and we have to continue to press them. But our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis," she told reporters in Seoul, South Korea."
Chinese Christians continue to be jailed and are subject to human rights abuses while imprisoned.
China remains near the top of the Open Doors World Watch list in regards to the world wide persecuted church.
No. We wouldn't want protecting human rights to interfere...

Don't even get me started! Not to interfere? Just stand by and ignore these human rights abuses? Is that the same response the world gave to Hitler in 1936? Maybe she should add, "Peace in our time..." And to consider that people of the world think she represents all of the United States. It is a travesty! Thank you for the story and commments. XOXOXO, Mom
