https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/calling-us-government-cancel-chinese-president-xi-jinpings-visit-usWE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Calling for the U.S. government to cancel Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the U.S. Since the morning of July 10th, the Chinese authorities have begun a large-scale crackdown on human rights lawyers and activists in China. Within two days, over 60 human rights lawyers and activists have been forcefully taken away by the police or “disappeared”. The number is still rising. Since Xi Jinping came to power, China’s human rights record has kept worsening. Under his reign over 1000 dissidents have been arrested. We urge President Obama and the U.S. government to investigate this case of severe human rights infringement, and, on humanitarian ground, take strong measures to intervene. Xi’s state visit to the U.S. scheduled for September this year should be cancelled, and all official exchanges with the Chinese government should be suspended until this matter is resolved.

Can the petition be more specific about who those "human rights activists" were? From the experience, howling starts in USA only if some US State.Dep-funded NGO heads are starting to get "inconvenienced" in the countries they are paid to disrupt. In all other cases, human rights activists can just rot for all USA cares.
And by the amount of MSM attention, it looks like the cross-hairs and the attack angle has shifted a bit, targeting BRICS through China. Of maybe USA is just expanding the battle front.

Thats my suspicion aswell. All of sudden, quiet on the western front (Russia), now 84 (in country of 1.3 billion) "chinese activists" that received backing from US foreign department are the hot news. I wonder how many black were shot in the back in the US during the same time... US is using the NGOs in the same way as former euro powers were using jezuits. To form fifth column within prey/host country.

Don't want to be a party popper but those two probably going to talk about money and trade. When big money and trade are at the stake, politicians used to ignore human rights, rainforests and cute baby seals :/.

Deference to Hierarchy 1. (crime) to both (1) machinate a counter to either heterarchy, its manifestation, or both and (2) actualize the same counter
If the Chinese government has committed a crime, have it prosecuted therefor.

Law Council deeply concerned with ‘crackdown’ against lawyers in China The Law Council of Australia has expressed deep concern at reports of a “major crackdown” in China, resulting in the mass arrest and detainment of lawyers, law firm staff, and activists. Many of the lawyers apprehended, such as Wang Yu (王宇), Li Heping (李和平), and Sui Muqing (隋牧青), are well-regarded for their human rights work. The US State Department has condemned the detentions, and expressed concern that China’s new national security laws were being used as a “facade to commit human rights abuses.” Law Council of Australia President-elect Stuart Clark said lawyers must be able to practise without fear of retribution for carrying out their professional duties. “The reports we are getting from China are deeply disturbing,” Mr Clark said. “An independent legal profession is fundamental to the promotion and protection of the rule of law. No lawyer should have to face intimidation, hindrance or improper interference in their work. “All lawyers, regardless of the country in which they work, should be treated in a manner consistent with international human rights law and the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers. “The Australian legal profession has a responsibility to monitor and promote the rule of law in the region, as reflected in the Law Council’s Rule of Law Principles. “On behalf of lawyers in Australia and our colleagues across the region, the Law Council of Australia will continue to monitor these events carefully and will consult with the Australian Government and our counterparts globally,” Mr Clark concluded.

http://anwaltverein.de/de/newsroom/pm-26-15-welle-von-festnahmen-chinesischer-anwaeltePM 26/15: Welle von Festnahmen chinesischer Anwälte DAV fordert Aufklärung durch chinesische Behörden Berlin (DAV). Die Situation von Anwältinnen und Anwälten in China hat sich in dramatischer Weise verschlechtert. Im Zuge eines landesweiten Vorgehens sind zahlreiche Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die sich für die Menschenrechte anderer engagiert haben, inhaftiert worden bzw. „verschwunden“. Auch sind mindestens drei Anwaltskanzleien nach Informationen von Amnesty International durchsucht worden. Der Deutsche Anwaltverein (DAV) ist in großer Sorge, dass die chinesischen Anwältinnen und Anwälte Opfer von Folter und Misshandlung werden könnten. „Das rigorose Vorgehen der chinesischen Behörden gegen Anwältinnen und Anwälte und andere Vertreter der Zivilgesellschaft hat mich – offen gestanden – zutiefst erschrocken. Wir werden nicht aufhören, den Schutz der Menschenrechte und der Menschenrechtsverteidiger einzufordern“, sagte DAV-Präsident Rechtsanwalt Ulrich Schellenberg. Erschreckt zeigt sich der DAV-Präsident, dass diese Inhaftierung kurz nach dem 15. Deutsch-Chinesischen Rechtsstaatsdialog am 6. und 7. Juli 2015 in Peking erfolgte. In einem Schreiben bat Schellenberg den chinesischen Minister Song Dahan um Auskunft über die Gründe der Festnahme und der Durchsuchung von Anwaltskanzleien sowie den Verbleib der Kolleginnen und Kollegen. Zugleich forderte er die Einhaltung der internationalen Standards im Umgang mit Anwältinnen und Anwälten, für die sich die Volksrepublik China auch rechtlich verpflichtet hat. Der Präsident des DAV appelliert an Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas, sich für die chinesischen Kolleginnen und Kollegen einzusetzen. Besonders wichtig sei aus Sicht von Schellenberg, dass dem Einsatz für die Schaffung der anwaltlichen Unabhängigkeit und für sonstige Rahmenbedingungen, die Anwältinnen und Anwälten eine wirkungsvolle Vertretung der Interessen der Mandanten ermöglichen, auch auf politischer Ebene eine höchstmögliche Priorität gerade und insbesondere im deutsch-chinesischen Austausch eingeräumt wird. Die Behörden werfen den Anwälten vor, eine „kriminelle Vereinigung“ gebildet und „ernsthaft die öffentliche Ordnung“ gestört zu haben. Ihre Maßnahmen stützen die chinesischen Behörden offenbar auf das jüngst erlassene neue „Gesetz zum Schutz der nationalen Sicherheit“, welches international starken Protest ausgelöst hat. Der UN-Hochkommissar für Menschenrechte, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, kritisierte das Sicherheitsgesetz als Einfallstor für Einschränkungen der Bürger- und Menschenrechte und Menschen, die sich für die Rechte anderer auch beruflich einsetzen wie Anwältinnen und Anwälte.
