Hu doesn’t answer question on human rights; blames technical issues…
The question to Hu Jintao from the AP’s Ben Feller today was: “How do you justify China’s record, and do you think that’s any of the business of the American people?”
Great question.
Hu didn’t “hear” it.. Or at least the claim was that it was somehow lost in translation..
Bloomberg’s Hans Nichols retried: “President Hu, first off, my colleague asked you a question about human rights which you did not answer. I was wondering if we could get an answer to that question.”
And Hu said? Well, he said “First off, I could clarify, because of the technical translation and interpretation problem, I did not hear the question about the human rights. What I know was that he was asking a question directed at President Obama. As you raised this question and I heard the question properly, certainly I’m in a position to answer that question.”
By God you just have to to love Communists…
