Human-rights advocates complain that Clinton is ignoring systemic repression; partisans of the Dalai Lama call for a free Tibet; labor advocates bang the drums about unfair competition. Even businessmen courted by Clinton complain that China's markets are still closed. It makes for great sound bites when they all clamor to know what Clinton's brand of engagement has brought them...
