Yes, Good partners in all the human abuses in the history of mankind. Anti-democratic excesses, abductions and torture, militarizing and colonizing the minorities land and taking UN under Mr. Ban and Human rights council to new strides. Hu lacks Rajapakse in several aspects: unimaginable atrocities, Coining new glossary for democracy and sovereignty, Hoodwinging the democratic world and then begging money, Portrayal as emperor- a divine gift, putting family first before the country, fooling own population.
