Anyone still think China "Most Favored Nation" decision was right?

Also, read Bill Clinton's statement in defense of it in 1993.

Does anyone think Clinton and the Congressman who supported it were right?

From Yahoo:

LINFEN, China (AFP) – Christians in north China are facing a Christmas of fear after 10 local religious leaders were jailed in recent weeks and their new church shut down amid a crackdown on unauthorised worship.

Five of the church leaders were given prison terms of up to seven-years by a Linfen court, while the others were sentenced without trial to labour camps for two years, their lawyer said.

Unless you are the paid writer for Agence Press France (AFP), instead of your taking credit as you have by sourcing your blog as the original published source, and placing your name in the author space, please attribute the correct publisher and writer. Thank you.

The free traitors always like to claim that “opening up” one of these Commie societies with trade will lead to “liberalization’ of their societies. That’s a load of crap. No Commie regime has ever collapsed because of trade. In fact, the anti-Soviet dissidents told us that our trade helped perpetuate the Soviet Union. We are now making the same mistake with China.

The title you altered has been changed to the original published title. Also the correct source, a working link to the original published article, the real author’s name and date all had to be added.

Always give proper attribution, use only the published title, only use a working link to the original published article and always include a date for all published material, rather than taking credit for your blog.

Thank you.

The blog is the “source” of this blog-post article which also contains opinions expressed by myself, as well as the use of other material duly credited. AFP was not my source. Yahoo, however can clearly be seen as being credited for “part” of the blog-post article. Think you owe an appology.

If you are the AFP writer Robert Saiget, then you are entitled to claim that you wrote the article. Otherwise use the original published title and source, a working link to the original published article, the published author's name and always provide the correct date.
