Currently, HRPM is preparing dozens of cases to protect villagers from corrupt officials and businessmen and to uphold Chinese citizens' human rights.

China watcher Waldron observes that Chinese Christian human rights activists are a huge challenge for the government. "Li Baiguang and others like him are feared in China. They are citing chapter and verse of laws that are flouted [by the Chinese government]." One Chinese pastor supportive of the civil rights strategy says that "Martin Luther King's phrase sums up the Chinese view: 'I have a dream.' "
