Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition (OCDC) Holds Its 10th Conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA

From March 23 to 25, 2012, the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition held its 10th conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. Since its establishment in 1998, the OCDC had held its conferences in various places in the world, including Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada, New York in the USA, Bonn in Germany, Washington DC in the USA, Gailliard in France, Geneva in Switzerland, Frankfurt in Germany, and Orlando, Florida, USA.

The main agenda of this conference was to discuss the current situation in China and the world, as well as the tasks for the overseas democrats. The conference reviewed the enormous changes of public opinion and people's thought in the past more than one decade, especially on the issue of Tibet and Taiwan, and the subject of revolution. The conference also evaluated the different attitudes on these issues from different social classes in China and their influence on the future of revolution in China.

Considering the rapidly changing situation in China, the conference also discussed the necessity of revolution in China, and the likely occurrence and adopted styles and possibilities of revolt, coup, and/or peaceful evolution. The focus of the conference was on what the democrats both overseas and inside China should be doing to promote people inside China and seek international support, as well as on basic strategy and detailed technical operations.

Over thirty people from 6 countries and regions representing more than a dozen organizations actively and enthusiastically participated and contributed to the discussion in this conference. They included:

The OCDC chairman, Wei Jingsheng;

OCDC Secretary-General, Huang Ciping;

OCDC Deputy Secretary-General and chairman of the Chinese Democratic Front, Wang Guoxing;

OCDC Deputy Secretary-General and board member of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, Dr. James B. Chen;

Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese Democracy Party, Dr. Wang Juntao;

Chairman of the Chinese Liberal and Democracy Party and OCDC Publicity Committee Chair, Ni Yuxian;

leaders of Dhokham Chushi Gangdruk from New York, Tenpa Tenpa and Gyatso Gyatso;

representatives of Tibetan Youth Congress in Washington DC, Phuntsok Dhargyal and Tsering Jeshong;

Editor-in-chief of Big Reference, Li Hongkuan;

president of the China Youth Foundation, Kong Lingxi;

New York Times researcher and Boxun reporter, Zhao Yan;

League for Chinese Seeking Justice in United Nations, Ai Furong;

OCDC Legal Committee Chair and legal counsel for the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, Ye Ning;

OCDC Art Committee Chair, Wang Haiyan; and

board member of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, Dr. Jonathan X. Chen, etc.

After the conference, some participants visited the vicinity of Williamsburg including Yorktown. Williamsburg is at the heart of the historic triangle in Virginia. Yorktown is the site where the decisive military campaign of the American Revolution culminated with the British surrender to combined American and French forces under the command of George Washington on October 19, 1781. The Siege of Yorktown effectively ended the six-year struggle of the Revolutionary War and set the stage for a new government and nation for the USA.

结合目前中国国内迅速变化的形势，本次会议还讨论了中国革命的必要性及可能发生和采取的造反方式、政变方式、和平演变方式等及可能性。会议的重点则是海内外民主派应当着重的推动国内民众和需求国际支持的工作，以及基本策略和具体的技术操作。

来自六个国家和地区、并代表十多个组织的三十余人积极踊跃地参加了这次会议并进行了热烈的讨论。这其中包括有：

中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生；

联席会议秘书长黄慈萍；

联席会议副秘书长/民阵主席王国兴；

联席会议副秘书长/魏京生基金会董事陈邦铮博士；

中国民主党全委会主席王军涛博士；
