In recognition of his work as an activist, lawyer, and founder of the New Citizen Movement, Dr. Xu was named one of Asia Weekly's People of the Year in 2005 and one of the Southern People?s Weekly?s Top Ten Young Leaders of China in 2006. His efforts have been considerably less well received, however, by the government of the PRC, and he has been arrested numerous times. Dr. Xu has been serving a four-year prison sentence since 2013 for "gathering a crowd to disrupt order in a public place." His moving statement at the end of his trial, hailed as the China Manifesto, is included in To Build a Free China. 606 $aCitizenship$zChina 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y2002- 615 0$aCitizenship 676 $a322.4/40951 700 $aXu$b Zhiyong$f1973-$01481344 702 $aRosenzweig$b Joshua 702 $aCao$b Yaxue 702 $aNathan$b Andrew 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792690603321 996 $aTo build a free China$93698233 997 $aUNINA
