Investing in Tragedy makes the case that through its money, arms and politics, China has helped to sustain the violence in the war torn region of Darfur, Sudan. After more than five years of conflict that has left at least 200,000 people dead and more than 2.5 million people homeless, China continues to strengthen its relationship with the government of Sudan despite the government's record of mass atrocities in Darfur.
In the lead up to the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Human Rights First has launched the "Made in China" campaign. With your help, we will pressure China to stop its arms sales to Sudan.
