What I Told Obama About Beijing's Human Rights Problem
January 18, 2011
On January 13, President Obama invited me and four other activists and scholars to meet with him at the White House to discuss the current state of human rights and reform in China. The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, took place as the president prepares for this week’s meeting with Chinese president Hu Jintao in Washington. He wanted to know whether we think his approach on these issues is working, and how that approach might be improved.
