And I would say that a politician or a business leader who goes to China endorses China’s human rights policies, maybe not directly, but by doing business with China, they are at least giving indirect approval to the fact that it doesn’t prevent them from doing business with China. They are associating with a government that doesnt value human rights and that would make me question the integrity and character of said businessman or politician. And I would have an issue doing business with this businessman. Politics is a shakey ground because there could be other agendas like trying to encourage change in those polcies.

But hey you could always go to the conferance and just rip the heck out of PPP and everyone will love you again. Just don’t waste any of your video interviews on these people.

And please don’t take this as an attack, it truly isn’t, I just thought John’s comment really made it sound like that you speaking at the conference was also an endorsment of it.

And the reverse is also true. PPP has paid people to attack me in the past. It’s a company I don’t agree with (at least I won’t until they require per-item disclosures, just like I did with my disclosure).

But, I disagree with you that this is an endorsement by me. Anyone who sees it as such really hasn’t done their homework.
