From Newsday.com: “The White House on Tuesday showered praise on ousted Chinese leader Zhao Ziyang, calling the former Communist Party chief who died on Monday “a man of moral courage.”
The effusive comments, unusual even for a White House well accustomed to issuing laudatory statements about those who have died, were in stark contrast to the treatment of Zhao’s death by Chinese leaders, who appeared to have no plans to honor him in death.”
