When President Bill Clinton rolled out the red carpet for President Jiang Zemin in October, it marked the triumph of commerce over human rights.
Clinton did scold Jiang over Tiananmen Square, but he didn't let the continued suppression of freedom in China, the slave labor, or the subjugation of Tibet get in the way of the main chance: big profits for U.S. companies.
"China is the fastest-growing market in the world for our goods and services," Clinton said at the joint press conference, and urged China to open its economy up even further. If it does so, ...
