China
By Peter Leithart
Yesterday, Hillary Clinton disappointed human rights activists by degrading the role of human rights issues in her discussions with Chinese. Differences on human rights will not, she said, interfere with the common interests of the US and China.
Today, she commends the Chinese for bailing out the US by continuing to buy Treasury bonds.
Make that: Differences on human rights will not keep the US from desperately asking the Chinese to prop up the US economy.
