They lost the “iron rice bowl” in 1978 when they started to change the economic structure over there. The person I was speaking to last week assures me that after the horrific things that occurred in Tiananmen--and this person was in the square and is still connected with people there--there have been what this person called reasonably significant changes in human rights since those days. I want to stress that. We are all troubled by, as the member said, being sure of the balance or not, whether we are making headway.
My question really comes back around the dialogue, and whether you would see it reasonable to suspend it for this group to join with MPs, NGOs, and labour, civil society groups--the Berne group--and maybe come together with a strategy that we're all moving roughly in the same direction on those things that we're trying to accomplish in China. Would that make reasonable sense?
