Bush signs accord on dissidence

President Bush today challenged the Chinese Government on its policies against dissidents. Speaking at the Great Hall of the People on the edge of Tiananmen Square, Bush asked the Chinese President, Hu Jintao, to benchmark Chinese response to political detractors against his own.

Spurred by the challenge, the Chinese President called for an immediate head to head comparison between the responses of the two presidency to political challenges. The results which was compiled and delivered to the Chinese president by his aide, showed China lagging far behind US.

Chinese President thanked the aide who delivered the results, and said that the two leaders sought an outcome of "mutual benefit and win-win results". Bush immediately chided Jintao for showing grace towards the aide, Bush said "Dude, you need to fire any aide who does not project you as the "best leader he ever worked with".

Bush has experience in silencing well meaning critics of his administration, and hopes to learn from the Chinese administration on ways to deal with peaceful demonstration.
