Wife of Chinese dissident under house arrest

In China everyone has rights, as long as they don't want to
exercise those rights. We all point our fingers at China and
say how terrible it is, these people are being abused and
kicked around like dogs as it were.
The same governments and their financial allies that make
these remarks then go to China and ask to do business with
them. They move their factories there and use the excuse,
if we all engage them they will change. The truth is they are
there to save a buck and they don't give a hoot about the
people and their lack of rights. Imagine, the man who won a
Nobel Prize likely has no idea, he won anything. His wife is
detained in her own home because she went to see her
husband.
Some say what kind of people are they? My question is,
what kind of people are we? We preach democracy and
freedom for all, but we want to save all kinds of money so we
do business with them and pretend we are going to change
something and move the world to the next progressive state.
Our behaviour is nothing short of a disgrace
