Bernard Hammelburg on Obama's Beijing visit

Published on : 19 November 2009 - 4:53pm | By RNW News Desk
More about:

There have been many complaints from around the world, including some from within the US, that President Obama didn't sufficiently emphasize the human rights situation in China during his recent visit there.

In this video, senior foreign affairs correspondent Bernard Hammelburg argues that when other world leaders visit China they're more concerned with striking commercial deals with China than about its human rights abuses. He argues that it's naïve to expect Mr Obama to change the situation in China single-handedly. He says we should stop looking at Mr Obama as if he were a half god.

The USA has lost the Human Rights Franchise because of The Jewish Lobby in Washington. Central Banksters are placing the entire world at risk!
