Obama Is Censored By Chinese Government, Despite Declaring That He "Understands" Communism

Townhall Staff | November 16, 2009 11:20 AM

Obama told a group of carefully selected members of the Chinese Communist Party that freedom of expression is important, but that he recognizes "that different countries have different traditions." He also said that despite the Chinese government's history of oppressing its people, "the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined."

Uh. He just tried to be non-adversarial and accepting, and was still restricted by China's communist government.
