Nicholas D. Kristof: A Clampdown in China

From the New York Times:

The most important person in the world right now may be Hu Jintao, and we’re beginning to get a better sense of what kind of a leader he is: disappointing…

Mr. Hu appears to be an intuitive authoritarian who believes in augmenting the tools of repression, not easing them. Most distressing, Mr. Hu has tugged China backward politically. He has presided over a steady crackdown on dissent, the news media, religion, Internet commentary and think tanks. China now imprisons far more journalists than any other country.
