Clinton states, "Human rights can wait"
#2
Not sure about the objectivity of this article, AJ-- something very strange about the way the contents of this speech were chopped up and doled out here.
Have you seen more comprehensive coverage of the visit?

Clinton said both nations will continue to hold frank discussions on crucial human rights issues, such as Tibet and freedom of expression in China. In the past, Clinton has been an outspoken, staunch critic of China's human rights stance.

In a welcoming response, Yang said China was willing to discuss the often-contentious subject of human rights.

"Although differences exist, China is willing to conduct the dialogues with the U.S. to push forward the human rights situation on the premise of mutual respect and noninterference in each other's internal affairs," Yang was quoted in the Chinese Xinhua news agency.


Sounds like she hopes to make some progress in that area but hopes to be more effective building a relationship first.

Do you always draw your gun and order a person to the ground as a first response when you handle a call?
