Cai Chongguo

For Cai Chongguo, the China of today is characterised by the tens of thousands of protests in which workers, farmers and migrants ask for their rights to be respected, for a wage, for land. Civil society has been born, the first step towards democracy. Beijing urgently needs to open up to dialogue with it, without resorting to violence.

The government is trying to uproot his memory, but China needs his democratic proposals.
