citizen education
Please help me correct the following paragraph. Thanks!
Miki Juan emphasized that his real intention was to push us Taiwanese to think over our international etiquette, not to pick out or punish the two black sheep. So he asked not to launch a cyber manhunt for the two guests. However, what we should do is to advance/raise our national morality and promote our international etiquette through citizen education.

Thanks for your correction. I have a question as written:
1. So he asked that we not launch a cyber manhunt for the two guests.
2. So he asked that we not to launch a cyber manhunt for the two guests.
Does it need to add a "to" before the word "launch" as written in #2?

No, the infinitive doesn't apply here. The parallel expressions are:
...he asked that we launch a... and ...he asked that we not launch a... simply opposites.
It appears that I was correct in using "..us" rather than "we" in my other comment.
