The Second International Seminar "China Road" Concluded in The Hague

-- reported by: Tian Yi, Radio Free Asia

2015-08-18

The China Road Research Institute held a seminar on China's democratization issues in The Hague on August 16 and 17, 2015. Scholars, experts, writers and dissidents from various parts of Europe, as well as from the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places, were in attendance.

The China Road Research Institute is a private research institute registered in the Netherlands. In September 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Institute successfully held the first international seminar on Chinese contemporary issues. Participants in the first seminar included the famous French sinologist Professor Marie Holzman, well-known professor of political science from Taiwan Mr. Lee Yeau-Tarn, as well as dissidents, experts and scholars from around the world including Europe, the United States and Hong Kong, etc.

On August 16th and 17th of this year, the Institute held its second "China Road" International Seminar in The Hague. This reporter specially attended the two-day conference.

The conference registration started in the afternoon at 2pm on August 17. Then it held a simple opening ceremony for the conference presided over by Mr. Lan Wei. Another major person responsible for the conference, Mr. Wang Guoxing, delivered the opening speech.

Mr. Wang Guoxing said, "I want to make these opening remarks really short. Our conference shall be divided into two parts, over today and tomorrow. I will explain the major part of the conference for tomorrow, when we will spend the whole day listening to academics, scholars, and experts in their field of study speaking of the current situation and future development in China, followed by our discussion."

In addition to discussing ideas and academic issues, the Conference organized a special theme regarding the Chinese democracy movement about which Mr. Wang Guoxing said, "The second part is today. We took this rare opportunity to have the European working meeting of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition because Mr. Wei Jingsheng came to Europe to attend our conference. For this conference, we will not be limited by our formality, nor be too nervous and serious. Why do I say it is a rare opportunity for us today that Old Wei has come to Europe? This is because this is his first long distance trip since his recovery from a major illness. Finally, on behalf of the preparatory committee of this conference, I thank you all for attending this conference."

During the two-day long seminar, speakers included Mr. Lee Yeau-Tarn, a prominent political science professor from Taiwan; Mr. Bei Ling, President of the Independent Chinese PEN; Mr. Xue Wei, a senior pro-democracy activist; Mr. Xi Haiming, chairman of the influential Tibetan, Uyghur, Mongolian and Chinese Negotiation Association in Europe and a Mongolian rights defending leader; a former chairman of the Uyghur Association in the Netherlands; Dr. Peng Tao, a German political scholar; Dr. Huang Zhong, an expert on Marxism from Hong Kong; Mr. Cheng Binlin, one of the authors of the book "Political Change Strategy". The conference concluded in the evening of August 17th. Mr. Chen Zhonghe, a well-known pro-democracy activist in exile in the Netherlands made a closing statement. In his closing remarks, he said, "This conference is a success. Many of our scholars gave wonderful reports, as well as our great poet, Mr. Bei Ling. Democracy leader Wei Jingsheng has delivered a very wonderful speech, to make our conference really shining with luster. We also had political scholars Dr. Peng Tao and Dr. Wang Ce giving very good speeches. Finally, there is the political science professor from Taiwan, Dean Lee Yeau-Tarn, who also made a very important report that analysed the future direction of China from all the fronts. So this conference was very successful. Finally I have a hope that these scholars can attend our seminar next year in Spain. I especially hope that they can fully take advantage of the whole year to prepare, to publish research papers with even better quality. Let these of us who pursue democracy walk step by step, until we achieve democracy and realize freedom in China. This is my hope."

第二届"中国之路"国际研讨会在荷兰海牙结束

2015-08-18

在荷兰注册的欧洲中国之路研究院八月十六号和十七号在荷兰海牙召开了两天的有关中国民主化问题的研讨会。来自欧洲各地及美国、台湾、香港等地的学者、专家、作家及异议人士参加了会议。

欧洲中国之路研究院是在荷兰注册的一个民间研究所。该研究所在二零一四年九月在丹麦哥本哈根成功地举办了第一届有关中国当代问题的国际研讨会。参加第一届研讨会的有法国著名汉学家侯芷明教授，台湾著名政治学教授李酉潭先生，以及来自欧洲、美国和香港等世界各地的异议人士、专家学者。

八月十六号、十七号，该研究院在荷兰海牙举行了第二届中国之路国际研讨会。为此，记者特别采访这个两天的大会。

八月十六号下午两点报道，三点会议举行了简单的开幕式，由兰炜先生主持，另一位主要负责人王国兴先生致辞。

王国兴先生说，"我讲一个非常简单的开场白，我们会议分为两部分，就是今天和明天。先说明天的主要部分。明天我们整整一天请世界各地来的学人、学者、专家，就他们自己的研究领域对于中国当前及未来的发展形势做演讲，然后我们加以讨论。"

除了思想、学术问题的讨论外，会议特别安排了一个有关中国民主运动问题的专题内容，对此王国兴先生介绍说，"第二部分就是今天。今天我们藉着魏京生先生来欧洲参加我们的会议，机会难得，所以我们就召开一个海外民运联席会议欧洲工作会议。这段会议内容我们就不拘形式，不用搞得那么特别紧张严肃。为什么说老魏到欧洲我们是机会难得呢？因为他是大病初愈，第一次出远门旅行。最后我代表筹委会衷心地欢迎大家、感谢大家来参加会议。"

在两天的报告讨论会中，发言者有来自台湾的著名政治学教授李酉潭先生，独立中文笔会会长贝岭先生，资深民运人士薛伟先生，在海外享有重要影响的欧洲蒙维藏汉协谈会主席，蒙古族维权领袖席海明先生，曾经担任荷兰维吾尔人协会会长的拜合提亚先生，德国政治学学者彭涛博士，香港马克思主义专家黄钟博士，变局策一书作者之一成斌麟先生。十七号晚上会议结束，流亡荷兰的著名民运人士陈忠和先生做了闭幕词。他在闭幕词中说，"这次会议开得圆满成功，我们的很多学者、秀才都做了精彩报告，还有我们的大诗人贝岭先生，民运领袖魏京生也做了非常精彩的讲演。所以为我们这一次大会增光添彩。还有政治学者彭涛博士，王策博士，也讲得非常好。最后还有台湾的政治学教授李酉潭院长也做了一个非常重要的报告，从各方面对中国未来的走向做了分析。所以说会议开得非常成功。最后我还有个希望，这些学者明年能够参加我们在西班牙的大会，特别希望他们能够利用一年的时间更充分准备一下，发表更多的非常有质量的论文，让我们这些追求民主的人能够一步一步地走下去，实现中国的民主，实现中国的自由。这是我的希望。"
