Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, arrives Tuesday in London and he is set to discuss climate change, security and political & economic developments. Human rights will also be discussed but little may be achieved, nor will there be any marks out of ten given. For many groups China has not moved far enough in improving rights of the individual. Many trade unions are banned and more than 250 individuals are still jailed for their roll in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. According to Humans Rights Watch there are not enough calls by the world’s democratic leaders for China to make political reforms.
