China blocks meeting on the rights of workers

From the International Herald Tribune: “China has abruptly blocked a meeting of global union and business leaders scheduled for next week that aimed to press Beijing to do more to protect workers’ rights.

The meeting, put together by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development after lengthy consultations with Beijing, was effectively canceled Wednesday when China suddenly rescinded visas issued to participants across the globe.”
