That is the how I would describe this administration on this issue. Talk a good game. The administration's record on promoting human rights is positively miserable. In China, Catholic priests and bishops are still in jail where some have been for decades. So are Protestant pastors and laypeople.
Churches continue to get destroyed.
Worshippers are beaten, imprisoned and fined. Freedom House has said the already intense persecution of the underground Christian church in China has intensified since mid-1998. There was no mention of this during the recent summit with Chinese premier Zhu Rongli. Neither was there discussion of the fact that China has stopped all dialogue with the Dalai Lama over the future status of Tibet or the Chinese government sponsored campaign to encourage Tibetan Buddhists to become atheists. Now, a recent report indicates that the Christian church in Hong Kong is getting squeezed in subtle ways.
