      Chinese Buddhists pray at a temple fair during China's New Year and  Spring Festival celebrations in Beijing January 27, 2012.  A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said last week  that U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke was wrong in saying that China's human rights situation has deteriorated.  Locke said that there was a significant crackdown on dissent underway in China and that things had worsened since 2008, when controls were eased slightly ahead of the Beijing Summer Olympics.
