Fred: "The report makes no effort to defend the practices of the Chinese state on any of these issues. I think this is positive, because it suggests that there may be room for improvement in the areas of political rights and social conditions there as well." What a bizarre conclusion, Fred. Of course the Chinese don't comment on this. How could they as their use of the death penalty is worse than that of the US by several times. They *can't* defend their own position on this so they *ignore it* and hopes no one asks about it. It is called hypocrisy, Fred. Call it for what it is and don't try to spin it as you do.
