Abstract
Abstract John Kamm is an advocate for improved rights for political and religious prisoners in China, based on a philosophy of finding common ground rather than lecturing or shaming Chinese officials on their failings. He heads the Dui Hua Foundation, which will accept any case for review so long as the charges do not involve violence. Kamm left a successful career in business during the 1990s and was effective as a human rights activist partly because of his support for Most Favored Nation trading status with the PRC, which gave him credibility with the Chinese. However, China’s turn in an authoritarian direction under Xi Jinping, including the repression of minorities in Tibet and Xinjiang, has made hope for a convergence of values between China and the West more problematic.
