In a speech in Bangkok outlining America's achievements and challenges in Asia, Bush pushed for a free press, free assembly and labor rights in China, and against its detentions of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists.

4. Another example of Bush diplomacy.
China has had a spotty civil rights record for how long now? He's largely ignored it for how long?

Then he waits for the most inappropriate time to address it.
