US and China begin restarted human rights talks
None
The United States and China will begin two days of human rights talks on Thursday. They are the first such talks in two years.
The Obama administration will look to push China to improve its treatment of its citizens while not angering a country that is crucial to US international interests. The administration also will try to answer criticism that it ignores rights abuse while pushing for Chinese support on Iranian and North Korean nuclear standoffs, climate change and other difficult issues.
