Clinton urges China to protect human rights
None
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton cautioned China to protect human rights Thursday, in remarks that rejected Beijing's criticism of the US for getting involved in the case of a blind dissident whose fate overshadowed the opening of annual talks between the powerful countries.
Clinton said at the opening of the talks on foreign policy and economic issues that the US believes "all governments have to answer our citizens' aspirations for dignity and the rule of law and that no nation can or should deny those rights." (AP)
