BEIJING - China rejected President Bush's criticism Thursday of its human rights record and restrictions on religion, diplomatically telling him to stay out of its affairs only hours before he arrived in Beijing to attend the Olympics.

In a speech in Bangkok outlining America's achievements and challenges in Asia, Bush pushed for a free press, free assembly and labor rights in China, and against its detentions of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists. He said he wasn't trying to antagonize China, but called such reform the only path the potent U.S. rival can take to reach its full potential.

3. Just another show for the public

Publicly, they must pretend to criticize each other, to keep up appearances. Privately, they're probably patting each other on the back and exchanging ideas on how to oppress people.

5. "Free press"? America, #53 in free press world ranking.

Or does bush mean "Americans should watch what they say."?

"Free assembly"? Like behind the "free speech zone" barbed wire?




It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

11. As hypocritical as it is Dumbass is actually in the right for once.

China needs to wake up and smell the coffee--the Olympics will expose their ugly underworld and I guarantee you the rest of the world will not like what they see.
