China Reacts to Congressional Letters on Darfur

You can read news coverage of the congressional letters to urging China to convince Sudan to allow UN peacekeepers into Darfur.

China's reaction shows how important our work on this initiative has been. While the Chinese government continues to try to deny its damaging role in the Darfur crisis, the fact is that it has taken positive steps only in response to international pressure--including anticipation of these letters! Also, the fact the Chinese government is concerned enough to put out this PR campaign shows that it is in fact concerned about its image.
