China is a Law unto itself.It will not pay heed to anyone.
It knows its strength, especially economic strength and knows how to extract maiximum mileage out of it and when it comes to the question of its internal affairs it will care for nobody’s opinion.Obama is mistaken in his approach to China, especially Human Rights.it also exposes the double standatrds of US when dealing with a power which has market potential whether it be hegemonism, nuclear proliferation or Human Rights violations.
Story:
Even before his trip to China, President Obama showed deference to China’s leaders by postponing a meeting with the Dalai Lama until after his trip. During his visit, he did not meet with Chinese political activists and chose not to confront the Beijing government on human rights and its treatment of dissidents.
What effect will this muted approach have? Will it be more, or less, productive for getting the Chinese government to engage in a dialogue about human rights, or will it make any difference at all?
