ADDED LATER:

Clinton's statement, from the State Department website, with emphasis added:

"A China that has made enormous progress economically, and that is emerging to take its rightful place in global leadership, should examine openly the darker events of its past and provide a public accounting of those killed, detained or missing, both to learn and to heal."

Send her over to talk to the Senate.
