I don't think the question of "founding principles" is really that relevant when applied to China. I am less concerned with where the current Chinese regime is than with where it is going. Change is certainly happening, and the changes are moving in a positive direction. They may not be happening fast enough to suit all of us, but there is little doubt that they are happening.

I believe that confrontational moves are more likely to slow the pace of change than to accelerate it, and that from a pragmatic perspective the best thing we can do to improve the human rights situation in China is to help the Chinese to accelerate their economic development and their economic integration with the rest of the world.

The combination of a lack of consensus among industrial allies, China's relative economic self-sufficiency, and the likelihood of encouraging a hardline reaction would make it unlikely that any economic sanction at this point would have much positive effect.
