Jailed Chinese activists
President Obama invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the United States and the White House to attend a state dinner.
Unfortunately, in recent months the arrests of human-rights activists and their attorneys have increased.
Since the conditions of these brave people has worsened, it’s imperative that the United States lead and demand the release of these activists as a precondition to visit this country and be honored with a state dinner.
The failure to do so will be another surrender by Obama to a brutal world dictatorship.
