Rice Urges China to Embrace Religious Freedom

Mon Mar 21, 4:53 AM ET World - Reuters



BEIJING (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) urged China Monday to embrace religious freedom and think about political reforms to match its economic opening.

Rice raised the sensitive issues of human rights and democracy with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing in Beijing on the final day of her six-nation tour of Asia, and after attending a church service Sunday.


"We ... talked a good deal about the need for China to think about a more open political system that will match its economic opening and allow for the full creativity of the Chinese people," Rice told a news conference.

2. religion is all
After all, if you have religion.. that is, the right kind of religion.. you know that God will take care of the rest, because you certainly won't.

What a load of Bushyte.

3. don't forget..."the meek will inherit the earth"
when peak oil hits... only people who have no dependency on oil will be able to sustain themselves (long term).

4. Of course she means Christianity and not Islam
This woman is beginning to sound like a candidate. I think she will seriously consider running for president and if the voting process is not fixed, she will, of course, win.
