Open Letter to Barack Obama

Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of Amnesty International USA, I urge you to candidly address grave human rights concerns in the People’s Republic of China during your upcoming first official visit to China and press the President of China to make substantive improvements. Failure to discuss human rights abuses in a meaningful way would send the wrong signal about the seriousness with which the United States views the human rights situation in China.
The United States has the stature to address the plight of the people of China without fear of retaliation and to broach the serious and deteriorating human rights situation in China. In your role as President, you have a responsibility to make public statements emphasizing that human rights are central to US-China relations.
It would be impossible to cover the vast scope of human rights violations in China in this letter. Therefore, I will summarize only some of our major concerns.
