The Voice of America Window on the World and VOA Connect Programs Broadcast VOA Interview with Wei Jingsheng: The CCP’s “Continuing the Red Bloodline” Proves It Is a Regime of the Red Families

On July 7, 2021, the Voice of America Window on the World and VOA Connect programs broadcast its host Zhiyuan’s interview with Wei Jingsheng. The following is a brief introduction.

The 245th anniversary of the United States’ Independence has just passed, and the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has also come to an end. However, the comparison of the two countries with completely different systems, and the analysis and comments about Xi Jinping’s "July 1" speech are still continuing. What does Xi Jinping's speech mean "to continue to carry forward the glorious tradition and continue the red bloodline"? Voice of America reporter Zhiyuan interviewed Wei Jingsheng, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, to explore related issues.

Voice of America: Mr. Wei Jingsheng, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP and the 245th anniversary of Independence of the USA have just passed. How do you feel about the experience of living in these two countries which have completely different systems?

Wei Jingsheng: first of all, as long as there is no violation of the law, most basic human rights are protected in the United States, no matter what a person says or does. Everyone here lives in a free and stable life, and everyone celebrates the day of American independence from their hearts, unlike the situation in China and North Korea. The environment in China created by the CCP with its suppression of human nature is fundamentally different from that of the United States.

Voice of America: Xi Jinping’s speech on July 1 stated that "For one hundred years, the CCP has carried forward the great party-building spirit, built the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists in the long-term struggle, and tempered a distinctive political character. History is endless and spiritual generation passed on from generation to generation. We must continue to carry forward the glorious tradition, continue the red bloodline, and always carry on and carry forward the great party-building spirit!" What do you think of Xi Jinping's emphasis on "continuing the red bloodline"?

Wei Jingsheng expressed that this actually is Xi Jinping's admission in public that what the CCP wants now is the so-called feudal system of the past China, such as the inheritance of sons from the father, etc. This is exactly the lineage theory criticized by the CCP itself many years ago. This time the CCP recruited a group of descendants of the so-called founding fathers (of the PRC: People’s Republic of China) for the show, which exactly illustrates that the CCP’s regime is not a government of the people, but the regime of the so-called Red Families. Mr. Wei further analyzed the circle of children of cadres in Beijing, and pointed out that this shows that Xi Jinping is becoming increasingly unpopular in this circle.

Wei Jingsheng pointed out that the history of the CCP is a history of fabrication, but this history of the CCP is actually not easy to compile. For example, the important coup by Lin Biao was not included in CCP history this time, which is hardly convincing. The internal struggle of the CCP is fierce, with examples of expelling the Party Secretary-Generals of its own, etc. On the surface, the CCP supported democracy and freedom, but in fact it has been a history of cruel struggles and ruthless strikes against others since the era of its separatist rule in China. The CCP is actually not a real political party, but a gang group, and its internal struggle is getting more and more intense. These internal fights have made the common Chinese, even the early idealist Communist members, become very hostile to the current CCP.

Voice of America: Xi Jinping’s speech on July 1 seems did not talk about democracy, freedom and constitutionalism from the beginning to the end, but emphasized that "the Chinese nation has a history of more than 180 years in modern times, the 100 years since the founding of the CCP, and 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. All these years of history have fully proved that without the CCP, there would be no New China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History and the Chinese people chose the CCP." What do you think?

Wei Jingsheng responded: It was indeed the Chinese people who chose the CCP in the 1940s and 1950s. However, since the CCP came to power, it intensified its evil actions and killed hundreds of millions of Chinese. Although the CCP advertised democracy and freedom in its early days including during Mao Zedong era, but since Deng Xiaoping, it hasn’t even bothered with superficial portraits for itself. It doesn’t even bother to put on sheepskins. It just claims to be a wolf, and even declares to the world that it is a wolf warrior. Because the CCP has realized that the people no longer believe in it, such a regime cannot last long.

Wei Jingsheng pointed out: Now the CCP can only promote nationalism to incite the Chinese people and let these people vent their dissatisfaction and hatred. But this is a double-edged sword. Most people in China have a difficult life. For example, Premier Li Keqiang even said recently that 600 million Chinese earn less than 1,000 Chinese Yuan a month, with which is difficult to maintain their essential lives.

美国之音VOA连线及时事经纬节目采访魏京生：中共“赓续红色血脉”就是红色家族的政权

2021年7月7日，美国之音VOA连线及时事经纬节目播出了其主持致远对魏京生的采访。以下为内容简介。

美国独立245周年纪念日刚刚过去，中国共产党成立100周年大会庆典也已经落下帷幕，不过，对两个制度完全不同的国家比较引起的思考，以及习近平“七一”讲话引起的各方分析评议仍在继续。而习近平讲话中所说的“要继续弘扬光荣传统、赓续红色血脉” 又是什么意思？美国之音记者致远连线采访中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生探讨相关问题。

美国之音：魏京生先生，中共建党100周年，美国独立245周年纪念日刚刚过去，对于生活在两个制度完全不同的国家的经历，你的感受？

魏京生：首先，只要没有犯法，在美国有最基本的人权保障，不管一个人说了什么，或做了什么。大家生活很自由且安稳，大家发自内心地、由衷地庆祝美国的独立。不像中国、北朝鲜的情况。中共压制人性所造成的环境与美国是根本不同的。

美国之音：习近平“七一”讲话称“一百年来，中国共产党弘扬伟大建党精神，在长期奋斗中构建起中国共产党人的精神谱系，锤炼出鲜明的政治品格。历史川流不息，精神代代相传。我们要继续弘扬光荣传统、赓续红色血脉，永远把伟大建党精神继承下去、发扬光大！”对于习近平强调“赓续红色血脉”，你的看法？

魏京生：这其实是习近平在公开承认中共目前就是中国过去的所谓封建制，如父继子承，家天下等。这正是多年前中共自己批评的血统论。这次中共找了一群所谓开国元勋的后代来作秀，正说明中共政权不是人民的政权，而是所谓红色家族的政权，是打天下就要坐天下的政权。魏先生就北京干部子弟的圈子进行了更进一步的分析，并指出这说明习近平在这个圈子里越来越不得人心。

魏京生指出，中共的历史就是一个编造的历史，但中共的历史其实不大好编，如重大的林彪事件这次竟没编入党史，这很难令人信服。中共内部斗争激烈，如开除了多个自己的总书记等等。表面上中共支持民主自由，但实际上自其割据时代起就是你死我活的残酷斗争、无情打击的历史。中共其实不是一个真正的政党，而是帮派集团，且内部斗争越来越激烈。这让老百姓乃至早期的理想主义式的共产党党人都非常仇视现在的中共。

美国之音：习近平“七一”讲话从始至终似乎没有谈到民主自由宪政，却强调“中华民族近代以来180多年的历史、中国共产党成立以来100年的历史、中华人民共和国成立以来70多年的历史都充分证明，没有中国共产党，就没有新中国，就没有中华民族伟大复兴。历史和人民选择了中国共产党。”你的看法？

魏京生表示：1940及1950年代的确是中国人民选择了中共。但中共执政以来，变本加厉，杀害了上亿人口。虽说包括毛泽东的早期，中共还标榜民主自由，但自邓小平以来，连表面文章也不做了，连羊皮都懒得披了，直接就宣称自己是一只狼，甚至向全世界宣布自己是战狼。这是因为中共已经领悟到老百姓不再相信他们了。这样的政权不可能长久。

魏京生指出：现在中共只能宣传民族主义来煽动老百姓，让他们来发泄心中的不满与仇恨。但这是个双刃剑。中国大多数老百姓日子过得艰难。如李克强总理说，有6亿老百姓每月收入不足1000人民币，难以维系生活。
