Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei on how the American government's policy of engagement and trade with the communist Chinese government has led to the U.S. ignoring the atrocious human rights violations that take place in China in order to protect business interests:

"For all the tough talk about China during the presidential debates, Romney and Obama evaded any mention of China's suspect human rights record, corruption, and rule of law. By not tackling these controversial topics, the candidates are protecting a strategic partnership with China at the expense of essential human values and beliefs."
