Given their human rights record siding with China is a tricky game to play. Deep pockets or not,
An American speeks of "Human rights", I'd suggest that is somewhat laughable! or is it another America that claims to have abolished slavery, yet 25% of it's kitchen appliances are made by prisoners (and a greater %age of army equipment/clothing), locks up 25% of the worlds prison population and still brings in a "Three strikes and you get life" rule for even the most petty of crimes? gotta keep up the workforce I guess.
Americans should be the last ones talking of human rights abuses!
