Petition text:
President Jintao, Please Improve China's Human Rights, Women's Rights, and Environmental Abuses
Greetings,
Your U.S. visit last week was a notable and hopeful occasion.
Notably we want China to be a BETTER nation, and respect basic human rights.
As such, we will avoid buying things made in China, for two months -- for human rights, women's rights, and environmental abuses. We will always tell sales clerks exactly why we are avoiding the purchase and request they tell their managers.
President Hu, we want China to make the following changes before we buy Chinese products again:
**Improve Human Rights
*Allow more freedom of speech and religion without recrimination.
*Release Nobel Peace Prize Winner Liu Xiaobo from prison immediately, and wife Liu Xia from house arrest.
**Improve Women's Rights
*Uphold the Chinese Constitution for "...equal rights with men in all spheres of life, political, economic, cultural, social, and family life."
*Strengthen and enforce laws against domestic violence, kidnapping and trafficking of women and children
**Improve Environmental Abuses
*Set new 5-Year Plan setting a carbon emissions cap -- and working with America to mutually acceptable binding targets
*Allow verification of China's 20% energy emissions reduction by 2011 accomplishment (as promised to the U.N. in Cancun)
Respect and good wishes are extended to China.
Our goal is to support and improve the well-being and freedom of Chinese citizens, and the betterment of China in the long run.
