Interesting. Personally, I have always wondered why China gets such a free ride in the USA, especially under Clinton. The reaction of the USA to the Tianimen Square incident was shameful. It would be like us saying to the Iraqis "In response to the actions of your despotic leader, we're opening up free trade!"
I'm personally in favor of free trade being based on the civil rights, human rights, and freedom of the citizens of the country we are trading with. Meddling in the affairs of countries without thinking about the consequences has given us Vietnam, Iran, Korea, Afghanistan, and East Timor, among others.
