Wei Jingsheng's Answers to the Questions for the Record of Congressman Steve Stockman at the US Congressional Hearing about the 24th Anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests and the June 4 Massacre

 

 

QUESTIONS FOR THE RECORD OF THE HONORABLE STEVE STOCKMAN

 

COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

"TRAGIC ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1989 TIANANMEN PROTESTS AND MASSACRE"

June 3, 2013

 

1. What actions would be most useful for Congress to take to help advance human rights in China?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: The campaigns on the Internet launched by the Chinese netizens have already caused a great shock to the Communist regime.  It is similar to the trend of the Jasmine Revolution in Egypt and Tunisia.  But, with the help of US business, the Chinese government has much better Internet control ability that any other country.  If in the arena of Internet freedom we could limit the censorship of the Communist government, as well as limit US business support to the Chinese Communist Party, then it will be a great help to all the freedoms of the Chinese people.

 

2. What actions would be most useful for the President to take to help advance human rights in China?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: Same as the above.  The President of the United States also can appeal for individual cases.  The pressure will be a very direct help to the victims.

 

3. What actions would be most useful for individual citizens in the US to take to help advance human rights in China?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: The American people should call on the US Congress and the US President to do something and to contribute to China's opposition groups.  Donations to the Chinese opposition that amount to even less than ten percent of donations to animal welfare would greatly improve the human rights situation in China.  Only the Chinese opposition groups are really applying pressure against the Communist regime.  Many other so-called human rights organizations have not been concerned with China issues for several years now, due to their concern for donations.  Many American business enterprises have investments or joint ventures in China.  To avoid offense to the Communist regime, they will not make donations to the enemy of the Chinese Communists.

 

4. What would be the result if China's Internet censorship system, the "Great Firewall" were defeated or broadly bypassed?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: The Chinese Communist Party is relying on the media to deceive the Chinese people.  When it is unable to deceive the majority of people, it will collapse in six months to a year.  The US Congress should urge the State Department to spend money on breaking through the Internet firewalls set up by the Chinese authoritarian regime.  This will be more effective than the annual increase of hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending.  It would be the modern equivalent of Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, and even better.

 

5. What is the greatest Achilles' heel of the Chinese Communist Party?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: The revolt and awakening of the lowest level of people in China, will be the basis for the downfall of the Communist Party.  The internal struggle within the Chinese bureaucratic class will be the trigger for large-scale rebellion.

 

6. Were many Tiananmen Square prisoners killed for organ transplants?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: I do not have reliable information on this, thus I am unable to comment on this specific question.  However, for decades now, the Chinese prisons have been harvesting organs from executed prisoners.  Political prisoners would not be spared the same fate.

 

7. Would you consider the repression of the Tibetan people and the destruction of the Tibetan culture to be genocide?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: Of course that is a genocide.  Although the Communist Party's repression against the Han Chinese and destruction of the Chinese culture is also a genocide; but for Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians and other ethnic minorities, the Communist Party's genocide action is more obvious and serious.

 

8. What would likely be your punishment if you made the same statement you made to this committee in China?

 

Wei Jingsheng's Answer: I was put in prison for 18 years due to similar remarks.  Thus I expect that probably at least 18 more years of jail time will be waiting for me for the statement I made to this committee, if it is not more serious.

魏京生就斯托克曼议员提交美国国会外交委员会有关1989年天安门广场抗议和六四屠杀听证会的作为国会记录的质询的正式回答

 

 

2013年6月3日

尊敬的史蒂夫﹒斯托克曼众议员在美国国会外交委员会有关1989年天安门广场抗议和六四屠杀听证会上的质询及魏京生先生的回答:

 

1.国会应采用什么样的行动才能最有效地帮助中国的人权进步?

 

魏京生:中国网民在互联网上发动的运动,已经对中共政府造成极大的震动。它的趋势已经接近埃及和突尼斯的茉莉花革命。但是中国政府在美国企业的帮助下所进行的网络控制能力远远超过任何国家。如果能在网络自由方面限制中国政府的能力,并且限制美国公司对共产党的支持;换个说法就是如果能够扩大网络自由,对中国老百姓的各项自由都是极大的帮助。

 

2.美国总统应采用什么样的行动才能最有效地帮助中国的人权进步?

 

魏京生:同上。总统还可以对个别的案例提出呼吁,这个压力对受难者是很直接的帮助。

 

3.美国民众作为个人应采用什么样的行动才能最有效地帮助中国的人权进步?

 

魏京生:呼吁国会和总统有所作为,并为中国的反对派组织捐款。把每年捐给猫狗的捐款的十分之一捐给中国反对派组织,就会大大改变中国的人权状况。因为只有中国的反对派组织,是真正在给中国政府施加压力。其它所谓的人权组织早在几年前就已经不再关注中国问题了,否则会影响到他们的捐款。美国的大多数企业都在中国有投资或合作项目,他们避免得罪中国政府,不会给中国政府的敌人捐款。

 

4.如果中国的互联网审查制度的“长城防火墙”被击败或广泛地绕过,会是什么结果?

 

魏京生:中共如果不能依靠传媒继续欺骗大多数民众,就会在半年到一年内垮台。美国国会应该督促美国国务院把钱花在突破互联网封锁上。这比每年增加几千亿美元的军费要节约得多。

 

5.什么是中共的最致命之处(“阿喀琉斯之踵”)?

 

魏京生:最基层的老百姓的反抗和觉醒,是中共倒台的基础。中国官僚阶级的内部互相斗争,是大规模反抗运动的导火索。

 

6.是否许多天安门囚犯被杀用于器官移植?

 

魏京生:这个问题没有可靠的资料,无法评论。中国的监狱已经几十年都在使用死刑犯的器官作移植,任何政治犯也不可能幸免。

 

7.你是否认为镇压西藏人民和对西藏文化的破坏是种族灭绝?

 

魏京生:当然是。虽然中共对汉族人民的镇压和文化的破坏也是一种种族灭绝的行为;但它对藏族、维吾尔族和蒙古族等少数民族的种族灭绝行为更为明显和严重。

 

8.如果你在中国公布你同样的对本委员会的证词,将会受到什么样的惩罚?

 

魏京生:我已经为相似的言论在监狱中待了十八年。可能还有下一个十八年等着我,如果不是更严重的话。
