How convenient. From the "New York Times":
"China is anxious to prevent critics and activists from linking its human rights record with the Olympic Games.
“The Olympics, which is a great gathering for the Chinese and the people of the world, shouldn’t be politicized or subject to boycott for political reasons,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao, told a separate news briefing in Beijing on Tuesday. “That’s against the general will of the people of the world.”
Seems like these days, human rights are at least against the general will of the governments of the world. People? Who cares about people? Isn't it the corporations that will live after us, never mind the children and grand-children. I'm sure robots can run them or something.
