It is necessary that China must accept an international recognized standard of human rights. It is time for the free world to warn China that they cannot get the best of both worlds. They cannot get all the benefits from free trades and, at the same time, totally ignore this.

I agree with your assessment that this "reform" is an effort to clean up the image for the Olympics.

Unfortunately, money talks. And I don't call what transpires between us and china free trade. It is a sell-out and a betrayal of our workers and our country. Tax advantages go to companies which have their factories overseas.

All those factories there can be retooled to make armaments. We have less and less factories to retool. But will our armaments soon be Made in China as a matter of routine?

What you said are all very sad truths. The worse is, there's very little we can do about it. You know how I feel seeing bad guys rewarded.
