Obama: Free expression is a universal right
Nov 16 2009
By Jennifer Loven - AP White House Correspondent
Shanghai -- Pressing for freedoms on China's own turf,
President Barack Obama said Monday that individual
expression is not an American ideal but a universal
right that should be available to all.
In his first presidential trip to Asia, Obama lauded
cooperative relations with China but sought to send a
clear message to his tightly controlled host country.
Just as Obama said few problems can be solved unless U.S.
and China work together, he prodded China to accept what
he called "universal rights."
"We do not seek to impose any system of government on
any other nation," Obama said at a town hall at a museum
here, believed to be the first such forum held by a U.S.
president on Chinese soil. "But we also don't believe that
the principles that we stand for our unique to our nation."
He added: "These freedoms of expression, and worship, of
access to information and political participation _ we
believe they are universal rights. They should be available
to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities,
whether they are in the United States, China or any nation."
Obama sought to find a political balance with China,
addressing long-standing U.S. concerns about human rights
but extending his hand to a critically important partner
on economic and security matters.
