I

understand that you may not be fully aware of the activities of Tesco

in China, so I would like to invite you to view our online petition

where you will find quotes provided by Experts in the field, Members of

Parliament, Members of the European Parliament, Celebrities, and over

7,000 people who have condemned Tesco for their activity in China ?
