Wei Jingsheng

The author of the "Democracy Wall" comments on the Chinese President’s week in America. The arrogance of the Chinese delegation collides with US pragmatism, it can resolve issues related to cyber-terrorism and the economy on its own. The South China Sea "a false problem: Beijing could not withstand a frontal attack by the United States and ASEAN nations." The real result is a growing understanding of the extent of the discontent at home: "Without human rights and rule of law, the party will collapse."

Wei Jingsheng, one of mainland’s best known dissidents and a leading figure in the Democracy Wall movement, wades into the controversy involving Beijing, Tokyo and Taipei. The Communists did not put everything they had into the fight against Japan, preparing instead for the showdown with the Kuomintang. For their part, the nationalists made many mistakes out of selfishness. Their respective fight would have been in vain without Washington and London. Under Xi Jinping, the same mistakes are being made again, only more this time, because the mainland’s current leader has “immersed himself with too much power and is carried away” with it.

The great dissident commemorates the 25th anniversary of the 4 June massacre: "The Party and certain intellectuals are shamelessly still trying to belittle those brave young men and women, who with their blood showed the people the truth about the regime and have unleashed a demand for freedom and that democracy will never be fettered".

The great Chinese dissident comments on latest repressions imposed by the government of Xi Jinping on freedom of expression and attacks the communist regime, interested only in safeguarding their privileges while continuing to violate the rights of the people: "They are even more brazen faced than Mao Zedong."

The Communist regime arrested a ten-year-old girl and banished her from school, "guilty" of having a dissident father. His case shocked the Chinese web world, which began a campaign of unprecedented solidarity. This is a clear sign that people's conscience has not died. Here is the analysis of the great Chinese dissident.

In both China and Japan, mad and blind policies combined with nationalism and fanaticism are behind the Senkaku/Diaoyu dispute. US policy is making matters worse. Its approach seems to have been "planned by bookworms and entrepreneurs, rather than politicians." An armed conflict would be a disaster for the entire world. Such a war would bring nothing and would leave no one immune.

The new year began with an all-out fight between the few courageous pro-reform leaders that remain in the party and the bureaucratic capitalists whose power and wealth is based on the One Party Communist state. As the fighting goes on amid censorship and new laws, ordinary Chinese must bid their time, wait for the right moment to overthrow a regime already condemned by history. Here is the analysis of a great dissident.

Jailed for decades, the father of China's pro-democracy movement, now in exile in the US, analyses the CCP meeting. Dominated by party oligarchs and gerontocrats, the congress blocked reforms to protect the interests of China's ruling class and system of state capitalism. The country, however, needs a fully developed market economy, but is the free world interested in a democratic China?

Speaking to the European parliament, the great dissident accuses Western powers of shortsightedness vis-à-vis the Asian juggernaut. "China's human rights situation has been rapidly deteriorating" and "Shortsighted policies of the Western democratic countries" are contributing to the trend. For Wei, the latter has six aspects.

The decision to travel to the U.S., still unconfirmed, has several implications that complicate life for two governments. The communist regime forced to persecute dissidents, his family and friends to keep intact the iron control on rural society, the Obama administration risks losing its re-election. The analysis of the great dissident.

No future for much talked about "reforms" and proposed "Wukan model": political tricks already played in the past by the Party. The advent of Western democracy has awakened the people, who no longer wish to submit to the medieval exploitation operated by Beijing. The path of true political reform is unstoppable. The analysis of the great dissident.

From Maoist (and Nazi) influence to using money to buy influence with intellectuals and others, including political leaders around the world, the Chinese Communist Party and its money politics could also affect those who are fighting for freedom in China. Here is an analysis by a great dissident.
