Chairman Brown in Beijing

Chairman Brown in Beijing

As the prime minister sets out his market stall and sells Britishness to China, is he guilty of selling out on human rights issues?

Yes.

China is still failing (in the words of Amnesty's Kate Allen) "to honour the promises it made, when bidding for the Olympics, to improve human rights. It still locks up dissidents, shuts down opposition websites and executes more people every year than the rest of the world put together".

Chairman brown is guilty of many other crimes as well. Just have a look at my post entitled "A nice little film"
