US raises human rights with China on Tiananmen Square anniversary
The State Department raised the issue of human rights with China on Sunday, the 28th anniversary of the protests in Tiananmen Square.
“We call again on China to make a full accounting of those killed, detained, or missing due to the events of June 4, 1989,” Secretary of State said in a statment.
“We urge China to cease harassment of family members seeking redress and to release from prison those who have been jailed for striving to keep the memory of Tiananmen Square alive.”
Tillerson drew a distinction between a nation’s policies and values.
"I think it’s really important that all of us understand the difference between policy and values, and in some circumstances, we should and do condition our policy engagements on people adopting certain actions as to how they treat people," Tillerson said at the time. "We should demand that. But that doesn’t mean that’s the case in every situation."
