Most liberals are vociferously critical of China, as I am, because of their human rights abuses as well as over Tibet.

Whilst (rightly) many of the left-leaning media and bloggerati spend an incalculable amount of column inches on human rights issues in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, what a shame that they have studiously avoided protesting for the release of detained individuals such as blind Chinese lawyer Chen Guangcheng, imprisoned for protesting against the One-Child Policy (partially funded by UK foreign aid).Patriccushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06921096660304580073noreply@blogger.com
