Chinese Dissident, Members of Congress Meet - YouTube

Chen stands with all the political heavyweights of the US House during his visit, including John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, and so on.

Blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng welcomed to Capitol - latimes.com

“While our economic relationship with China is important, the United States has an obligation to engage China and press for democratic reforms and improvement in its human rights practices,” Boehner said. “We cannot remain silent when fundamental human rights are being violated. We cannot remain silent when religious liberty is under attack. We cannot remain silent regarding China’s reprehensible one-child policy.”

Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, the minority leader, noted the “courage” and “bravery” of Chen’s work as she agreed with the Republican leader.

“I don’t often say this, Mr. Speaker, but I do wish to associate myself with your remarks, because I think you said very well all that our country stands for in our relationships with other countries and our relationship with Chen’s case.”

Other lawmakers, including those from New York who have supported Chen, were also on hand.

No, the US politicians brush up their human rights credentials simply by hanging around Chen.

Well the second picture does look like they are tired of Obama and want a superstar (your word) as their new leader.

And we keep buying their bonds.

If China doesn't buy US Treasury Bonds, then Yuan appreciates and the Chinese economy is massively impacted. So it is a necessary evil.

What about North Korea?

What about North Korea?

That too. For all non-Democratic totalitarian states like China, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Iran, etc.

yuan appreciation is what is needed for china to give purchasing power

You're right, our government is a little pushy. Are we going to do anything about corrupt states like South Korea, the Philippines or even India? While we're at it might as well get rid of those failed states in the Middle East and Africa too. We can always borrow more if we don't have enough funds.

last time US messed with china in the korean war, the americans got the worst defeat i their history. Talk is cheap, US is absolutely powerless to stop the rise of china.

That would destroy China's export industry and leave hundreds of millions of Chinese factory workers unemployed.

China Communist Party does not want to repeat the fate of the Plaza Accord that destroyed Japanese economy by letting Yuan appreciate, because they fear that unemployed masses would revolt and overthrow the communist party. The West wants that to happen.
