Do I believe at this point based on what we know that they could've handled things better and you know certainly.

At first appearance it seemed as if they were doing this for the first time does -- seem to be just a lot of us fumbling along the way.

Which -- in a good message to send to China and -- to the rest of the world so I hope.

In the long run that this you know prevails that -- -- -- his family is the you know I have my concerns me.

What country which has taken 500.

-- people out of poverty and how can you object to us go with one person who's against her system so from their point of view.

Very the ones in the right and we are the ones meddling in the affairs.

I just don't see the same kind of fight about Chinese currency manipulation right Foxconn only complicate what I mean it's it's more complicated with these issues I'm missing that he's not important -- certain human rights is important for they are important.

But we got a lot of other issues with China that we don't they don't get the headlines -- -- situation to see it right essentially on our doorstep in the US embassy and we're supposed to be here -- the land of freedom and to help people that have been persecuted by himself I hope we do our very best to help pianist and I think it's not happening and yeah.
