If we really want to give China an incentive to continue their currency revaluation process, US officials should start by finding ways to balance their budget and make a sincere effort towards eliminating the US debt burden.

>China is not at all concerned about human rights, but as the British said in India "You build your funeral pyre for the woman and we will build our gallows. After you have conducted your cultural practises, we will conduct ours." [Or words to that effect]

Cultural practices like the witch trials?

>North America

The most famous witchcraft incident in the British North America were the witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts. The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings before local magistrates followed by county court trials to prosecute people accused of witchcraft in Essex, Suffolk, and Middlesex Counties of colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. Over 150 people were arrested and imprisoned, with even more accused who were not formally pursued by the authorities. The two courts convicted 29 people of the capital felony of witchcraft. Nineteen of the accused, 14 women and 5 men, were hanged. One man who refused to enter a plea was crushed to death under heavy stones in an attempt to force him to do so. At least five more of the accused died in prison.>
