The United States must be resolute and unified in our stance against Chinese human rights abuses. There should be no question on where we stand as a nation against these heinous actions; we must condemn them whenever they arise.

But it should not just be America. The world should watch what is happening in China today. It is long past time for a public discussion of what transpired 30 years ago and where the world is going in the future.
