Wei Jingsheng: Trump Should Help the Chinese to End Communism

-- The White House Announcing the National Day for the Victims of Communism Releases Important Signals

 

 

(Epoch Times, November 10, 2017) (Reporter Li Chen from Washington, DC) The well-known Chinese human rights activist Wei Jingsheng told Epoch Times on November 9 that during Trump's visit to China, in addition to talking about human rights publicly, Trump should also help dismantle the Berlin Wall-like information blockade of the Communist regime so as to help the Chinese themselves end communism.

 

U.S. President Trump made his first state visit to China from November 8 to November 10.  The topics of meetings between the two sides attracted a lot of attention.  Meanwhile, November 9 is the 28th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany.

 

Big Trade Orders Should Not Hinder Human Rights

 

As to whether the 250-billion trade agreement between China and the USA will solve the trade deficit between the United States and China, Wei Jingsheng said: "These hundreds of billions of dollars will help ease the trade deficit this year or next, thus meeting the accountability to the people of the United States. "

 

However, Wei believes that the big trade order "should not prevent Trump to talk about human rights issues.  If Trump does not do anything on human rights, he will be scolded at when he comes back to the USA, by both the Congress and ordinary people."  "Trump should talk about this human rights issue.  I think Trump should not give up this goal, just because of the money presented to him."  "In fact, human rights is a very important card for the USA."

 

National Day for the Victims of Communism Releases Signals

 

On the eve of Trump's visit to China, the White House announced November 7 as the National Day for the Victims of Communism.

 

Wei Jingsheng said: "This is an important signal."  This is a "hard-line stance on human rights" by the Trump administration.

 

"The communist system itself is a violation of human rights.  So it has risen to the institutional level."  "The announcing of this national day is a very important move.  In effect, it is telling the Chinese Communist regime: we are concerned about this," Wei Jingsheng said.  "It also shows that the Trump administration is concerned about human rights while paying attention on trade."

 

Trump Should Openly Talk about Human Rights with the Chinese Communist Regime

 

Wei Jingsheng expressed that from the experience of the past years, only when the Western government openly discusses human rights with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), will it see results.

 

"Of course, Trump should talk about human rights openly.  Public talk will put pressure on the CCP.  There will result little pressure when talk secretly with the CCP.  The CCP can release a few people and do something to fool and to pass, while there was no real improvement for human rights in China."

 

"The issue of Falun Gong is also included in the overall issue of human rights.  This is also an issue regarding prisoners of conscience, being persecuted due to freedom of belief."

 

Remove the Berlin Wall-Like Information Blockade

 

Wei Jingsheng thinks that in addition to the issue of prisoners of conscience, freedom of the media and freedom of information are also very crucial.

 

"The suppression has not only become more and more against printed media, film and television, but also against online media and self made media."

 

He said that the Golden Shield project in Mainland China has sealed the Internet so much that not only the websites are blocked, but also the law enforcement departments of the CCP can directly control Weibo, WeChat and even arrest people.

 

An information blockade, "exactly reflects that the CCP lacks self-confidence -- it is even afraid of what the others say."

 

Wei Jingsheng suggested to Trump "to learn from President Reagan, and do some solid and pragmatic work to give more support and assistance to the Chinese people in terms of human rights.  He should help the people within China to resist the autocratic regime and allow the Chinese people themselves to stand up and to solve the problems of the Communist regime internally, rather than from the outside."  "The Soviet Union and Eastern European countries should be very good role models."

 

Wei believes that if the Berlin Wall of free speech was dismantled, then the day to push down the Berlin Wall of Communism will be just around the corner.  "I think it is very important to tear down the wall against the media, the Berlin Wall that seals the media and free speech.  If this wall is removed, I think the Communist Party would be finished soon."

 

"If the Chinese people do not stand up themselves, then no one could do much from the outside.  There was a foundation of public opinion when Gorbachev and Yeltsin resolved the Berlin Wall issue at that time."

 

Wei said that after obtaining free information and gaining their spiritual freedom, the Chinese people will choose to abandon the CCP and will "automatically solve the issue for the collapse of the CCP's autocratic regime."

魏京生:川普应帮助中国人终结共产主义

-- 白宫宣布共产主义受难者纪念日释重要信号

 

 

【大纪元2017年11月10日讯】(大纪元记者李辰美国华盛顿DC报导)美国知名人权活动家魏京生11月9日向大纪元表示,川普(特朗普)访华期间,除了应公开谈人权问题,还应帮助拆除中共信息封锁的柏林墙,从而帮助中国人自己起来终结共产主义。

 

美国总统川普11月8日至10日对中国展开首次国事访问,双方会谈议题备受外界关注。而11月9日,也是德国柏林墙被推倒28周年纪念日。

 

贸易大单不妨碍谈人权

 

对于中美签2500亿贸易协议是否能解决美中贸易逆差问题,他说,"这几千亿,缓冲一下今年或者明年的贸易逆差,能够起到缓解作用 。对(美国)老百姓有个交代。"

 

但是,他认为贸易大单"不妨碍川普提到人权问题。如果川普在人权问题上什么都不做的话,回来要挨骂的,美国议会和老百姓会不高兴。川普必须要谈这个(人权)问题。我觉得川普不会放弃这个目标,不会见钱眼开的。""人权,其实是美国很重要的一张牌。"

 

共产主义受难者纪念日释信号

 

川普访华前夕,白宫宣布11月7日是全国共产主义受难者纪念日。

 

魏京生表示:"这是一个重要信号。"这是川普政府"在人权方面作出的一个强硬姿态"。

 

"共产主义制度本身是侵犯人权的,已上升到制度层面了。""宣布这个纪念日是一个很重要的动作。实际上是告诉中共政府,我们在关注著这个。"魏京生说,"这也表明川普政府"在关心贸易的同时,也在关心人权。 "

 

川普应和中共公开谈人权

 

他表示,从过去多年的经验来看,西方社会政府要公开和中共谈人权才会见成效。

 

"川普当然是要公开地去谈(人权)。公开谈才会对中共有所压力,秘密谈对中共的压力很小。中共可以放几个人,做一点事,这事就唬弄过去了,而国内的人权状况没有改善。"

 

"法轮功问题也是包括在整体人权问题之中的,这也属于良心犯的问题,由于信仰自由而遭到迫害。"

 

拆掉信息封锁的柏林墙

 

魏京生认为,除了良心犯的问题,媒体自由、信息自由也很关键。

 

大陆"不仅仅是平面媒体、影视媒体,而且对网络媒体、自媒体方面的打压越来越严重"。

 

他表示,大陆金盾工程把网站封得很厉害,中共执法部门可以直接管制微博、微信,甚至抓人。

 

信息封锁,"正好说明中共缺乏自信,连别人说话,它都怕"。

 

魏京生建议川普,"他应学习里根总统,做一些扎扎实实的工作, 在人权方面给中国人民更多的支持和帮助。帮助内部人民反抗专制政权,让中国人民自己起来,从内部来解决共产主义政权问题,而不是从外部去解决。""苏联和东欧国家应该是很好的榜样。"

 

他认为,如果言论自由的柏林墙被拆除,那么共产主义的柏林墙被推倒也就指日可待。"我觉得很重要的是要拆掉媒体的这堵墙,媒体封锁、言论自由的柏林墙。这堵墙如果拆掉了,我想共产党可能就差不多了。"

 

"如果中国人民自己不起来,那么外面谁也没办法。戈尔巴乔夫和叶利钦当年解决柏林墙问题的时候,是有民意基础。"

 

他表示,获得自由信息,在精神上获得自由后的中国人会自动选择抛弃中共,"就会自动地解决中共专制政权垮台的问题"。
