China's Float a Lightning Rod for Critics (Real Audio required)

For the first time in the 119 year history of the Rose Parade, China will have its own float. But critics of that country's human rights record are objecting and want to mount their own march down Colorado Boulevard. When California tradition and China's politics collide, where should the line be drawn?

Bill Bogaard, Mayor of Pasadena
Shizhong Chen, spokesman for the Pasadena Coalition for Human Rights and president of the Conscience Foundation, a Chinese human rights group headquartered in San Diego.
