China is in a position to exert pressure on Khartoum

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote in a letter to Human Rights First in March 2009, "We believe that the Chinese government needs to abide by the spirit as much as the letter of UN Security Council Resolution 1591 (2005) and subsequent resolutions. The Chinese government also should prevent Chinese companies from selling weapons to Khartoum. In order to bring an end to hostilities in Darfur, we must effectively deny all combatants access to the tools of war."

"As Sudan's largest export partner and greatest source of foreign investment, China is in a position to exert pressure on Khartoum to resolve the conflict in Darfur and implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement."

Urge president Obama to raise the problem of Chinese influence and arms sales to Sudan in his meetings with President Hu Jintao and others, today.
