"Also piling on the pressure were the Hu Jintao told Sudan's leader during a visit in February that he must give the United Nations a bigger role in trying to resolve the conflict in Darfur.

WE are the people on China's back. The pressure is working! Let's make sure the Chinese government understands that we will NOT get off of its back until Sudanese President Al-Bashir accepts the full contingent of UN peacekeeping troops to protect the people of Darfur. If you haven't done so, please call Senator Menendez and your member of the House and urge them to sign the Biden-Lugar (Senate) and Lantos (House) letters to Chinese President Hu!
