_There's a dark shadow over this year's Olympic games._

abuses must end.

Tell President Bush to speak out when he meets with Chinese President Hu
Jintao.

The spirit of the Olympics is supposed to be one of peace and international
cooperation. As host of this year's games, China should embody that spirit.
Instead, China used its position as a convenient excuse to jail, deport, and
murder political dissidents.
Instead, China continues to support the genocide in Darfur, supplying 88% of
the Sudanese government's small arms and threatening to interfere with
international prosectution of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.
Instead, China maintains its oppressive reign of terror in Tibet, closing
the nation to all unmonitored foreign reporters after Chinese paramilitary
police torched a Tibetan market in March, killing at least sixteen people in the
process.
_Despite these egregious violations, President Bush has insisted that his
visit to the Olympics is not as the most powerful leader in the world, but
rather as a sports fan._

Bush said that changes in China will come "on its own terms and in keeping
with its own history and traditions" — but that just isn't good enough. It's
not good enough when people are dying in China and in Darfur and in Tibet, and
it's not good enough when the Chinese government throws a shroud over its
abuses and pretends they don't exist. President Bush must display the strength
demanded by his office and by these international crises that continue to go
unchecked in any serious way.
President Bush's trip to China must serve a greater purpose than cheering
for America's athletes.
_Click here to tell President Bush that when he meets with Chinese President
Hu Jintao and other leaders, he must demand that the human rights violat
ions end, once and for all._
