The Clinton administration has condemned China for its poor human rights policies. No government is allowed to kill its people for political demonstrations. I hope that someday we will see a fair trial that will bring justice to that historical event. On the other hand, I wish that the students would have known where to stop and make a reasonable compromise to avoid bloodshed.
People now have the freedom to choose where to live, what job to do.
You can open a business, become a millionaire. The freedom I had in China included travel, reading and studying. I had no free speech or publication rights, no freedom to choose where to live, which school to go to, what job to do or the freedom to vote. More importantly, I had little economic freedom because there is little purchasing power. In other words, I was poor.
