From an international perspective, with times of turmoil, democracy and authoritarianism confronting, US-Europe, and China-Russia rivalry, the international order since World War II facing challenges from authoritarian groups like China, Russia, and Iran. The world stands at a crossroads: disruption and regression, or continued change and progress?
As for China, after a century of decline, the democratic movement hit rock bottom, and China once again fell into the dictatorship of the Mao era. Two time points before China’s democracy movement: 35 years since the June 4th incident, and 75 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. China’s totalitarian dictatorship is hostile to liberal democracy, hostile to the modern civilized world, acts against the people, and brings chaos to the world.
The world is in turmoil, China is sinking, and the CCP is at the root of the chaos. To revitalize the world order of freedom and democracy, the CCP dictatorship must be overthrown. The world hopes to bring change to China’s ‘knocking stone,’ and the just forces that overthrow the CCP emerge.
“National Affairs Meetings” are the “knocking stone”
at the doorWei Jingsheng, Wang Dan, and Wang Juntao founded the “National Affairs Conference,” representing leading figures from different eras of China’s half-century democratic movement.
From March 2 to 4, the first “National Affairs Conference” was held at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC. Various reactions emerged from society and online: some were insulting and attacking, some criticizing and criticizing, some criticizing and criticizing, some criticizing and criticizing ……. There were ripples, echoes, and reactions—ultimately stronger than silence and silence.
I have also heard and witnessed some friends criticizing and accusing the “National Affairs Conference,” and I understand that, although the words are sharp, they are well-intentioned. It shows that society is paying attention, watching, and observing; This shows that China will not continue to sink, get lost, or be destroyed. This “stone” is the “National Affairs Conference,” stirring the hopes of society and the people’s convergence toward the development of China’s constitutional democratic revolution.
Thediscouragement, despair, and discouragement in society are not surprising; the road to constitutional democracy in China is arduous, rugged, and perilous. As Wei Jingsheng pointed out: “China today is in crisis, the darkest hour in over forty years!” China’s pro-democracy movement must step forward; time waits for no one, and every moment is to be seized. I firmly believe that the “National Affairs Conference” will open up a new chapter in China’s constitutional democracy.
Overthrow the CCP and rebuild a republic
Over a hundred years ago, the democratic revolution led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen had a political program of “expel the barbarians, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equalize land rights.” After a difficult and faltering journey, China’s democratic revolutions repeatedly fell into the hands of totalitarian rulers. The CCP has turned China into an authoritarian dictatorship where the entire country belongs to the Party and the entire Party belongs to Xi, and the CCP is the root cause of chaos. At the ‘National Affairs Conference,’ the unanimous voice, in language the people could understand, succinctly and directly stated the political platform: ‘Overthrow the CCP, rebuild the republic.’
This is not a simple political slogan, but the rallying call of the “National Affairs Conference”—an action, a spirit, a revolutionary political goal. China’s democratic movement is a social transformation project involving all citizens, a common cause for you, me, and the Chinese community worldwide. Let us unite under the banner of “overthrow the CCP, rebuild a republic.” A single phrase that transcends time, hearts, and public opinion will inspire and inspire the Chinese people to jointly create a new world of constitutional democratic China.
The ‘National Affairs Conference‘ released a roadmap for the revolution
After careful and intense deliberation and discussion, the “National Affairs Conference” adopted the first declaration, which states: the future process of China’s democracy and the roadmap for building a democratic China.
The declaration analyzed and discussed the history of China’s autocratic dictatorship and current situation, summarized and learned lessons from countries around the world, and tried to absorb and optimize modern constitutional systems. It proposed plans and approaches for overthrowing the CCP’s tyranny and rebuilding constitutional democracy.
The manifesto summarized ten roadmaps for rebuilding constitutional democracy with precise and concise language, naturally covering all aspects of civil rights, rule of law construction, journalism and association, economic development, peasant land, nationalization of the military, ethnic issues, international cooperation, and more.
Upgraded and replaced organization and mobility system
Since the founding of the “China Democratic Unity Alliance” in the early 1980s, overseas pro-democracy movements have spanned more than forty years, with complex organizations and numerous factions—nearly over a hundred groups, each with its own program and its own agenda. Although the ranks remained undispersed, slogans kept flying, and flags never fell, the fences stood everywhere, the forces were scattered, and the results were minimal. If you only post reports and summaries in the organized online email group, it’s just self-pity and self-amusement.
The “National Affairs Conference” will blur the lines and organizations, bringing together global pro-democracy organizations through projects and topics, and carry out large-scale global action step by step and in a planned manner. Since these are integrated and phased project progress, looking ahead to China’s pro-democracy work, it is essential to value ‘input-output ratio’ just as it does economic work. Any project or topic must be planned, budgeted, and predicted in advance for its effectiveness. The decades of experience, time, energy, connections, and limited funding accumulated by the Chinese democracy movement are all capital invested in the project. The implementation of the project, design steps, social outreach, and media arrangements must balance the efficiency of action and social influence, truly awakening the world, energizing society, and invigorating the democratic revolution.
Both U.S. parties congratulated and supported the “National Affairs Conference
.”Facing the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, global economic recession, and turbulent international politics, this year’s U.S. election saw the Democratic and Republican parties passionately and compete fiercely. However, when facing the Chinese government and the CCP’s authoritarian rule, both parties share a unified and unified stance. Both look forward to a transformation of China’s political system, the establishment of a constitutional democratic government, alignment with the world’s liberal democratic forces, and strong guarantees for world peace and development and stability in international politics.
On March 4, the Conference of Nations held a press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Several members of Congress, including Republican Congressman Michael Gallagher (Chairman of the U.S.-CCP Special Panel on Strategic Competition and recently visited Taiwan), and Democratic Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, sent several senior aides to show support during the recess. They expressed in front of the media congratulations on the convening of the “National Affairs Conference,” encouraging and supporting China’s democratic movement to reorganize its ranks and embark on a new journey. Representative Captur’s communications director also read her speech at the press conference.
The venuefor the press conference held at Capitol Hill was borrowed with the help of Congressman Gallagher.
Piero Tozzi, Chief of Staff of the Congressional Executive Branch China Committee, attended the press conference in person. On behalf of Republican Congressman and Chairman of the Congressional China Committee, he addressed: “Democratic Taiwan can prove that Chinese society can perfectly implement liberal democratic systems, and that the people of mainland China can fight for freedom and human rights on their own without external intervention. The CCP government is now violating human rights in Tibet, Xinjiang, and other places, ignoring Mencius’ principle in Chinese culture that ‘the people are most important, the ruler is the least important.’ Therefore, when it comes to tyrants, the people have the right to overthrow them, because what people do, Heaven watches.”
All ethnic groups united to overthrow the CCP’s rule
Conflicts among ethnic groups stem from the CCP’s authoritarian rule. Man-made troubles are everywhere in the world; conflicts between the Han and Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Southern Mongols are typical examples. Man-made contradictions and problems require joint communication and resolution among all ethnic groups. For example, the Tibetan-Tibetan conflict has a “middle way” as the foundation and direction for resolving the Han-Tibetan conflict.
Whether in Tibet, Uyghurs, Southern Mongolia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or mainland China, the persecution and enslavement suffered by the same people—they all faced threats, intimidation, and brutal repression under the CCP’s dictatorship. China’s democracy movement has no choice; only by unswervingly standing with all ethnic groups, resisting the CCP’s persecution and bullying, and uniting to overthrow CCP rule can we lay the foundation for resolving and building a democratic China, and the prerequisite for ultimately resolving the issues of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and all ethnic groups.
Studying, drawing from, and optimizing the governance strategies and spirit of democratic countries, the “National Affairs Conference” will lead China’s democracy movement to emerge from its slump early and win victory in China’s democratic constitutional movement!
This will not just be a single “stone” stirring up a thousand waves, but also: rocks piercing the sky, crashing waves crashing against the shore, and rolling up thousands of piles of snow!
