The United States and China reported no major breakthroughs Friday after only their second round of talks about human rights since 2002.
Michael Posner, the assistant secretary of state...said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.
He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person’s immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
So the Obama administration-- talking to a government that maintains a gulag, denies people their basic rights and harvests organs--apologized for the new immigration law in Arizona?
