China is currently massing military forces in Shenzhen in an apparent buildup towards a crackdown on peaceful, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

Should China proceed on it's current path the people of Hong Kong will be subjected to forceful and violent oppression, violation of the agreed upon "one country two system" principle, and violation of their basic human rights.

This petition is to demonstrate public, global support of the harshest possible economic sanctions against China should they proceed with any military action to quell peaceful dissent. We don't care that we may pay more for some goods normally imported from China, we stand with Hong Kong.
