How does the promotion of human rights in China serve Western interests?

as the title says: how does the promotion of human rights in China serve western interests?

this is a class discussion question i am having. i know the western world is concerned about human rights in China, but i dont really know why.

Wow…so much to type here…but it’s dinner time. SO I shall summarize: because it will eventually make them like "us" (i.e., the West). That is what we want.

P.S.—To a previous poster who mentioned about wages going up, etc. That is EXACTLY what we want to happen! If wages were identical over there, US companies would not be relocating all their operations to China.

  1. It doesn’t really. Keeping the conditions in China as they are will keep goods cheap for the west. Demanding they be improved will only increase the prices of goods and go against western interests.

  3. In short,
    ‘no_names’ got it right.

    ‘Pommy Tommy’ is wrong.

    And yes, it is mostly about economics and not so much about humanitarian motivations of our politicians.
