From page 7 of the report -- Executive Summary -- "Official rhetoric notwithstanding, China’s human rights and rule of law record has not improved. Indeed, as this year’s Annual Report indicates, it appears to be worsening in some areas. A troubling trend is officials’ increased willingness to disregard the law when it suits them, particularly to silence dissent. Beginning in February 2011, Chinese police took the unusual step of ‘‘disappearing’’ numerous lawyers and activists in one of the harshest crackdowns in recent memory. It was no surprise, then, that in sensitive issue areas such as China’s population planning policy, local government officials demonstrated little restraint in turning to illegal measures, including violence, to coerce compliance with a policy that itself violates international human rights standards. Lack of respect for the rule of law extended into the international arena, where China pursued domestic subsidies and industrial policies inconsistent with China’s commitments as a member of the World Trade Organization."

A 2006 perspective: Rep Chris Smith viewed on "The Tank Man"

2006 Congressional hearing: Represenative Chris Smith (R-NJ):
"Leading US companies like Google, Yahoo, Cisco and Microsoft have compromised both the integrity of their products and their duties as responsible corporate citizens."

March 2010 Congressional hearing: Rep Chris Smith (R-NJ):
"Two days ago Google fulfilled its January commitment to stop censoring results on its' Chinese search engine. This is a remarkable, historic and welcome action!"

"Since 2006 we have had meetings with Google executives. They have taken actions, on their own accord, realizing, I believe, that the view that somehow the Internet would transform and open up China. When the Chinese secret police and the government censors took over it was doing precisely the opposite."

Internet Regulation in China (March 24, 2010)
Congressional-Executive Commission on China

WASHINGTON (Reuters)(March 24, 2010) - Internet domain company GoDaddy.com said it planned to stop registering domain names in China, joining Google Inc in protesting cyber attacks and censorship in that country.

"We believe that many of the current abuses of the Internet originating in China are due to a lack of enforcement against criminal activities by the Chinese government," Christine Jones, Go Daddy Group Inc general counsel, told a congressional commission hearing on Wednesday.

In December, China began to enforce a new policy that required any registrant of a new .cn domain name to provide a color, head-and-shoulders photograph and other business identification..

"We were immediately concerned about the motives behind the increased level of registrant verification being required," Christine N. Jones, general counsel of the Go Daddy Group, told the Congressional-Executive Commission on China on Wednesday. "The intent of the procedures appeared, to us, to be based on a desire by the Chinese authorities to exercise increased control over the subject matter of domain name registrations by Chinese nationals."

For standing up for American values and against censorship we therefore name Rep Chris Smith and his entire staff as being true AmericanMadeHeroes.com!

Alexander Hamilton

"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."
