Criticizing China

After linking to a rather gruesome story of Chinese human rights violations, Jay Nordlinger writes:

Meanwhile, remember that the policy of the entire world — with the exception of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, oddly — is never, ever, ever to cause the dictatorship in Beijing the slightest discomfort, ever.

Obviously, this is hyperbole, but it's wrong nonetheless. Nations may be wary about wading into China's domestic politics, but they're not interested in making the world an overly comfortable place for Beijing.
