Yesterday President Bush gave Hu Jintao, China’s hardline leader, a 21-gun salute and apologized after a Falun Gong adherent screamed for Beijing to stop killing members of the group (reports have surfaced that the government is harvesting the organs of some group members). Dining on an exquisite lunch of halibut, Hu was flattered by a long line of U.S. captains of industry, hats in hand (while our trade deficit continues to soar). Meanwhile, Google has agreed with communist demands to allow the government to keep electronic tabs on its citizens.
What must the Chinese communists who run that great country think of the United States, the leader of the free world?
