In the letter of intent, which was released today, the group explains that, “the goal is to involve the greatest number of Chinese people possible in the debate, so that consciousness can be raised about the political process which led to the imprisonment of the greatest leader of the Brazilian left, who was responsible for an enormous reduction in inequality and an expansion of bilateral relations with China.” For the inauguration, the collective prepared a special event with a showing of the documentary, “the Edge of Democracy”.
