Bush: China must end detentions, ensure freedoms
By MARK S. SMITH, Associated Press Writer
BANGKOK, Thailand – Bound for the Beijing Olympics, President Bush is carrying a message of “deep concerns” about the state of human rights in China and urging the communist nation to allow political freedoms for its citizens.
“America stands in firm opposition to China’s detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists,” Bush will declare in the marquee speech of his three-nation Asia trip. “We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly and labor rights — not to antagonize China’s leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential.”
