Secretary of State Clinton yesterday issued a timorous response to communist China’s censorship and violation of internet and privacy rights, rather bizarrely inviting the Chinese Regime to investigate its own covert violations. She also called for a transparent response. Well Hillary here’s Beijing’s reaction, issued today via its Foreign Ministry
“The U.S. has criticised China’s policies to administer the Internet and insinuated that China restricts Internet freedom,” said spokesman Ma Zhaoxu. “This runs contrary to the facts and is harmful to China-U.S. relations. We urge the United States to respect the facts and cease using so-called Internet freedom to make groundless accusations against China,” http://www.businessandleadership.com/news/article/19314/technology/china-hits-back-at-clintons-call-for-internet-freedom
This issue has exposed the limitations and inherent weakness of US policy on China, which vacillates between an advocation of so-called constructive engagement (itself a bankrupt concept and a decayed fig leaf concealing a profits- before-rights approach) and hand-wringing condemnation on human rights.
Having appeased and compromised what now Madame Secretary?
