About time..! in my opinion..!! China although is opened to the outside world.. for tourism.. it is still a very communist country.
“China declared Tuesday it is willing to resume a long-stalled human rights dialogue with the United States, seeking to improve its image before this summer’s Olympic Games in Beijing.”
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said they will have exchanges and discussions on human rights with the United States and other countries on the basis of mutual respect, equality and non-interference. China suspended participation in the regular U.S.-China human rights dialogue in 2004 after the United States sponsored a resolution in the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Commission urging condemnation of China’s record. Chinese officials considered the U.S. move in Geneva as interference in Chinese affairs and a display of hostility that made further formal dialogue impossible.
