Citizen Power Initiatives for China is a grassroots movement dedicated to advancing a peaceful transition to democracy in China. Our movements are embedded with the belief that such a transition can be achieved through structural reform of the current system of government that by its very nature denies universally recognized political and social rights to its citizens. Our movement further recognizes that such reform can only be driven by the citizens of China through the application of Gong Min Li Liang (公民力量 “Citizen power”) and through cooperative and unified action of all the diverse peoples that are under the rule of the Chinese government.
