Or is it just another method of smearing the upcoming Olympics in Beijing?

Do you mean those American human rights abuses like giving immigrants medical care, giving the homeless shelter, feeding the poor with food stamps (the list goes on, but there is a limit on words)
Have you even been to China? If they leave the big cities, people are dirt poor and live in the same rotten conditions they did hundreds of years ago. If they live in the cities, the pollution and poverty is like nothing you have ever seen in the USA.
As for the Olympics, it does not appear that they will be able to clean up Beijing sufficiently in time. You probably think this too is the USA's fault somehow, don't you? That would be as logical as the question you posted to begin with.

Your post only illustrates how ill informed you are about China. This is a country where the cab drivers are being forced to learn English at night or they will lose their jobs. When they pick those Americans up from the airports during the Olympics, China wants to make a good first impression. The Chinese who live in the huts and hovels near the Olympic sites found those destroyed because the Chinese government doesn't want anyone to see how poorly they live.
So, please share, and tell us how the USA is the villain in all of this?

human rights offenses in China are nothing new. Tiananmen Square in 1989 is one of the most recent major offenses. Many under Mao's regime. No hiding them. Not really ment as a smear.

Like yourself, I think children need to be taught to take initiative in the quest for facts about everything. Certainly there are a lot evil things going on America, but in China instances of gross forced slavery were found. The new bourgeois are communist officials.

The Human rights issue was in existance before China ever got the Olympics. It is based on certain facts dealing with free speech, press, media, travel and the legal system (Based on the French system).
The "Hype" is a result of busy-bodies traveling to China to stir up trouble and not mind their own business at home. It is a sort of cover-up for the same problems in the US, especially in view of the Dictator Bush and his userpation of powers and disregard for the Constitution.
The War on terror is more politically correct if it is waged outside the US rather than within to quell the GANG WARS.
The Human rights violations that exist in the US are no less than those in China and many other countries. BUT - China is Asian and the US government, and most people, have a fear, contempt, and discrimination for Asians. Take a look at our Immegration laws. The First zoning laws in the US (San Francisco) were to keep Chinese in one area of the city.
You can say that as long as our attention is diverted from reality at home we will not recognize that the same thing is going on at home as abroad. But the Government can raise more passion about taking care of other nations business than our own. It is better for big business and it does avoid recognition of the failure of the Govt. to take care of the same situation in our own country.

Wow, you really don't like living in America do you? Have you been to China? Have you actually walked around and seen how people are treated elsewhere? I have, and it is sad. So before you criticize I recommend you actually visit the world and offer aid as so many of us do. We are so lucky to live here, and you are so lucky to have a forum to state your opinion.
I could not believe how people lived in China, it was horrible. It was worse than you will ever imagine, so no, it is not hype.
