Hu Says China Won't Take Lessons From U.S. On Human Rights

The question was one of a couple Hu answered from among those submitted in advance in writing. It was the last appearance by Hu on his four-day tour of the United States. On Thursday, he had met with President George W. Bush in the White House. Several blocks away, hundreds of protesters on the City Green waved signs and shouted anti-government slogans. "When you get within 5,000 yards of one of these bigwigs, I think it's your responsibility as a human being to try and tell them something,'' said freshman Edwin Everhart, 19, co-ordinator of Amnesty International at Yale. A CNN reporter was thrown out of the ceremony after he shouted a question about whether Hu had seen the protesters gathered on the city green. Yale spokeswoman Helaine Klasky said the reporter was thrown out because he was invited "to cover an event, not to hold a press conference.'' http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=31138154-5bff-4e93-b91a-2bcf47cb9f04&k=31409
