Since the story of human rights in China is already exceedingly complex, I thought a Ch an approach adding more complexity, in this case in the form of a Korean story might help. The story has to do with Kim Dae Jung now, of course, the President of South Korea but 17 years ago, when this incident occurred , a dissident living in exile in the United States. In the spring of 1983 while Kim was a visiting scholar at Harvard University he gave a talk about human rights in Korea. You re in exile and struggling to democratize your country.
Democracy is a product of Western societies.
