The Obama Administration has defended its decision to hold a state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao – the first in 13 years – as it faced flake from human rights bodies and lawmakers who alleged that Beijing continues to violate human rights of its own people.
"The truth is we have met with them on many occasions. We had a state dinner in China; it was brought up before that. We've had bilateral meetings at economic summits like G8 or G20, where it's been brought up," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters at his daily news conference.
"I think the President's belief is it is important to speak out, as he's done, and it's important to bring this up directly with them," Gibbs said responding to question on why Hu has been invited for a State dinner when his government continues to violate human rights of its own people
