WASHINGTON (Reuters) - While China's leader-in-waiting, Xi Jinping, enjoyed center stage in Washington on Tuesday, the wife of a jailed Chinese rights lawyer and other opponents of Beijing's grip on dissent said the Obama administration should increase pressure on China.
The White House has said it always presses human rights concerns in talks with Chinese leaders.
"On critical issues like human rights, we will continue to emphasize what we believe is the importance of recognizing the aspirations and rights of all people," President Barack Obama said during Xi's visit to the White House.
