“China left off list of violators”
By Nicholas Kralev
March 12, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The State Department yesterday dropped China from its list of the world’s top human rights violators, prompting criticism that the move marks an unwarranted concession to Beijing ahead of the Olympic Games this summer.

Department officials insisted that China’s absence from this year’s list, which includes Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Burma among others, is not linked to the Olympics and has little meaning overall, because the list is informal with no legal consequences.”
