Hillary Clinton Fails to Promote Human Rights to China“In a shocking display of pandering, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear in Beijing, that the Obama Administration has chosen to peddle U.S. debt to the largest dictatorship in the world over combating torture, forced abortion, forced labor, religious persecution, human sex trafficking, gendercide, and genocide,” Smith said.
“Secretary Clinton said concern for the protection of human rights of the Chinese people can’t ‘interfere’ with the economic crisis, climate change, and security – as if human rights were somehow disconnected and irrelevant to those issues,” the New Jersey congressmen said.
"We have to continue to press them" on human rights. "But our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate-change crisis and the security crisis." - SecState Hillary Clinton, Feb. 2009
