A
"Stone" Stirs Up a Thousand Waves -- a Review of the “Congress on
China’s Directions” of the Chinese Democratic Movement
-- Tian Mu
(published by: Yahoo News)

March 13, 2024 10:23 am
Internationally,
the times are turbulent, with democracy and autocracy confronting each other,
the United States and Europe competing with China and Russia, and the
international order since World War II facing challenges from the totalitarian
groups of China, Russia and Iran.
The world is at a crossroads.
Should it be subversion and regression, or should it continue to change
and move forward?
As far as
China is concerned, it has been in decline for a hundred years, the democratic
movement has hit rock bottom, and China has once again fallen into the
dictatorship of the Mao Zedong era.
There are two points in time before China's democratic movement: it has
been 35 years since the "June 4th" Massacre, and it has been 75 years
since the founding of the P. R. China by the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP). China's totalitarian dictatorship
is the enemy of freedom and democracy, and is the enemy of the modern civilized
world. It is acting perversely and
causing chaos in the world.
The CCP is the
chief source of chaos for the turmoil in the world and the sinking China. To revitalize the liberal and democratic
order in the world, the Chinese Communist dictatorship must be overthrown. The world is looking forward to the
"stone" to change China, and the righteous force to overthrow the CCP
has emerged.
The “Congress on China’s Directions” Is
the "Stone" Knocking On the Door
Wei Jingsheng,
Wang Dan, and Wang Juntao founded the “Congress on China’s Directions”. They each represent leading figures in
different eras of democratic movement for half a century in China.
From March 2
to 4, the first “Congress on China’s Directions” was held at the Hilton Hotel
in the Washington, DC area. There
were various reactions in society and on the Internet, including abuse and
criticism, and critical suggestions... ...
There are ripples, echoes, and responses, which are better than being
silent and unnoticed.
This author
has also heard and witnessed the criticism and accusations made by some friends
against the “Congress on China’s Directions”. I can understand that although the words
are sharp, they are well-intentioned.
It shows that society is paying attention and watching; it illustrates
that China will not continue to sink, lose its direction and be destroyed. This "stone" is the “Congress
on China’s Directions”, which arouses the public's hope and turns the hearts of
the people towards the development of constitutional democratic revolution in
China.
It is not
surprising that our society is discouraged and depressed. The road to constitutional democracy in
China is arduous, bumpy and dangerous.
As Wei Jingsheng pointed out: "China is in crisis today. It is the darkest moment in more than 40
years!" The Chinese democracy
movement must stand up and seize the day.
This author firmly believes that the “Congress on China’s Directions”
will create a new situation in constitutional democracy in China.
Overthrow the CCP and Rebuild the Republic
More than one
hundred years ago, the political program of the democratic revolution led by
Dr. Sun Yat-sen was: "Expelling the Tartars,
restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land
rights." After a bumpy and
staggering journey, China's democratic revolution fell into the hands of
totalitarian rulers again and again.
The CCP has reduced China to an autocratic dictatorship system in which
the whole country belongs to the CCP and the whole CCP belongs to Xi
Jinping. The CCP is the root of the
chaos. At the “Congress on China’s
Directions”, everyone spoke in unison, using a language that the average people
could understand, and stated the political program in simple and concise terms:
"Overthrow the Chinese Communist Party and rebuild the republic."
This is not a
simple political slogan, but the rallying cry of the “Congress on China’s
Directions.” It is an action, a
spirit, and a revolutionary political goal. The Chinese democracy movement is a
social change project with the participation of all people. It is a common cause for you, me,
others, and all the Chinese from all over the world. Let us unite under the banner of
"overthrow the CCP and rebuild the republic." These words transcend time and space,
people's hearts and public opinions, and will inspire and encourage the Chinese
people to work together to create a new world of a constitutional democratic
China in the future.
“Congress on China’s Directions” Launches
Revolutionary Roadmap
After careful
and intense deliberation and discussion, the “Congress on China’s Directions”
adopted the declaration of the first “Congress on China’s Directions”, namely:
a roadmap for China's future democratic process and the construction of a
democratic China.
The
declaration analyzes and discusses the history and current situation of
autocratic dictatorship in China, summarizes and draws on the experiences and
lessons of other countries around the world, and tries to learn and optimize
the modern constitutional system as much as possible. It also proposes plans and approaches on
how to overthrow the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party and to rebuild the
constitutional democratic system.
The
declaration summarizes the ten-point roadmap for rebuilding constitutional
democracy in precise and concise words, which naturally covers all aspects of
issues such as civil rights, rule of law construction, press and association,
economic development, farmers' land, nationalization of the military, ethnic
issues, international cooperation, etc. .
Upgrading Organizational and Action
Systems
Since the
establishment of the "Chinese Democratic Solidarity Alliance" in the
early 1980s, the overseas Chinese democracy movement has gone through more than
40 years, with complex organizations and numerous factions, with nearly one
hundred groups, each with its own agenda and purposes. Although they managed to keep the team
together, keep chanting, and keep the flag up, there were many fences
everywhere, and the efforts were scattered and the results were very little. If one just sends reports and summaries
to the organization's email group, one will just be self-pitying and
entertaining oneself.
The “Congress
on China’s Directions” will deemphasize mountains and organizations, gather
global pro-democracy organizations on projects and issues, and launch global
scale actions in a step-by-step and planned manner. Since it is an aggregated and staged
project process, looking forward to the future of Chinese democratic movement
work, we must also pay attention to "input and output" just like
economic work. Any project or issue
must have a plan, budget and execution effect prediction in advance. The experience, time and energy,
personal connections, and limited funds accumulated by the Chinese democracy
movement over the past decades are all capital invested in the project. Project implementation, design steps,
social outreach contacts, and media arrangements must take into account the
efficiency of action and social influence, so as to truly awaken the world,
activate the society, and inspire democratic revolution.
Both Political Parties in the United
States Congratulate and Support the “Congress on China’s Directions”
Faced with the
two wars between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, the global economic
recession, and the turbulent international political situation, both Democratic
and Republican parties in this year’s U.S. election are full of passion and
competition. However, facing the
Chinese government and the totalitarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party,
both two parties’ attitude is unanimous and unified. They all look forward to the
transformation of the Chinese political system, the establishment of a
constitutional democratic government, and integration with the world's liberal
and democratic forces, so as to provide a strong guarantee for world peace and
development, and the stability of international politics.
On March 4,
the “Congress on China’s Directions” held a press conference in the U.S.
Capitol. Several members of
Congress, such as U.S. Republican Representative Michael Gallagher (Chairman of
the Selected Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and
the Chinese Communist Party, who had just visited Taiwan) and U.S. Democratic
Representative Marcy Kaptur sent many senior staff to express their support
even though the Congress was on recess.
They expressed in front of the media their congratulations on the
convening of the “Congress on China’s Directions”, and also encouraged and
supported the Chinese democratic movement to regroup and embark on the new
journey. Congressman Kaptur's
communications director also read her message at the press conference.
Congressman
Gallagher helped borrow the venue where the “Congress on China’s Directions”
held its press conference on Capitol Hill.
Piero Tozzi,
staff director of the Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC),
attended the press conference and delivered a speech on behalf of Republican
Congressman Chris Smith, chairman of the CECC: "Democratic Taiwan can
prove that Chinese society can make a free and democratic system function
perfectly, and the people of mainland China can fight for freedom and human
rights on their own without external force. Currently, the Chinese Communist
government is violating human rights in Tibet, Xinjiang and other places and
ignoring the Chinese culture. As
Mencius advocated, "the people are the most valuable and the emperor is
despised. So for a tyrant, the
people have the right to overthrow him, because God is watching as people are
doing it."
All Ethnic Groups Work Together to
Overthrow the Rule of the Chinese Communist Party
Contradictions
among ethnic groups in China stem from the authoritarian rule of the Chinese
Communist Party. Man-made troubles
abound in the world, and the conflicts between the Han and Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Southern Mongolia are typical examples. Man-made conflicts and problems require
joint communication and resolution by all ethnic groups. For example, in the conflict between
Tibetan and Chinese, there is the "Middle Way Approach" as the basis
and direction for resolving the conflict between Chinese and Tibetans.
The people of
Tibet, Uyghurs, Southern Mongolia, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
and mainland China have suffered the same persecution and enslavement. They have all encountered threats,
intimidation, and brutal suppression by the Chinese Communist Party’s
dictatorship. The Chinese pro-democracy
movement has no choice. Only by
standing unswervingly with all ethnic groups, resisting the persecution and
bullying of the CCP, and uniting to work together to overthrow the rule of the
CCP will make a foundation for resolving and building a democratic China and is
the prerequisite for the ultimately solving the problems related to Hong Kong,
Taiwan, and other ethnic groups.
By learning,
drawing on and optimizing the governance strategies and spirit of democratic
countries, the “Congress on China’s Directions” will soon lead Chinese
democratic movement out of its trough and win the victory for the democratic
constitutional movement in China!
This will not
only be a "stone" causing thousands of waves, but also rocks piercing
the air, stormy waves crashing on the shore, and the rolling up of thousands of
piles of snow!

【專欄】一「石」激起千層浪 -- 中國民主運動「國是會議」述評
-- 田牧（Yahoo奇摩新聞）
2024年3月13日 週三 上午10:23
就國際而言，時代動蕩，民主與專制對峙，美歐與中俄博弈，「二戰」以來的國際秩序面臨中俄伊極權集團挑戰，世界處在一個十字路口，是顛覆與倒退、還是繼續變革與前行？
就中國而言，沈淪了百年，民主運動陷入谷底，中國再次跌入毛時代的獨裁統治。擺在中國民運面前的兩個時間點：「六四」事件至今35年，中共建政至今也已75年，中國極權獨裁與自由民主為敵，與現代文明世界為敵，倒行逆施、禍亂天下。
世界動蕩，中國沈淪，中共是亂源之首。要振興世界自由民主秩序，必須推翻中共獨裁政權。世人期盼改變中國的敲門「石」，推翻中共的正義力量脫穎而出。
「國是會議」是敲門「石」
魏京生、王丹、王軍濤創建了「國是會議」，他們分別代表了半個世紀中國民主運動不同時代的領軍人物。
3月2-4日，第一屆「國是會議」在華盛頓DC的希爾頓賓館舉行，社會上、在網絡上出現了各種反響，有謾罵攻訐的，有批評指斥的，有建言挑剔的……，有漣漪、有回聲、有反響，終歸比悄無聲息、神鬼不覺要強。
筆者也耳聞目睹了一些朋友對「國是會議」的批評與指責，我能理解，雖然言語犀利，但出於善意。說明社會在關注、矚目與觀望；說明中國不會繼續沈淪、迷失與毀滅。這一「石」，就是「國是會議」，激起社會眾心所望，人心歸向中國憲政民主革命的發展。
社會上的氣餒、消沈與灰心，不足為奇，中國憲政民主之路艱巨、崎嶇與險阻，正如魏京生所指出的：「當今中國處於危難之中，是四十多年來的至暗時刻！」中國民運必須挺身而出，時不我待、只爭朝夕。筆者深信，「國是會議」將開創中國憲政民主事業新局面。
推翻中共 再造共和
一百多年前，孫中山先生領導的民主革命，其政治綱領是：「驅除韃虜，恢復中華，創立民國，平均地權」，歷經坎坷與蹣跚的旅程，中國的民主革命一次次落入極權統治者之手。而中共使中國淪為全國姓黨、全黨姓習的專制獨裁體制，中共是亂源之根。「國是會議」上眾口一詞，用百姓聽得懂的語言，言簡意駭地直述政治綱領：「推翻中共，再造共和」。
這不是一句簡單的政治口號，而是「國是會議」的集結號，是行動，是精神，是革命的政治目標。中國民主運動是全民參與的社會變革工程，是你我他、天下華裔的共同事業，讓我們團結在「推翻中共，再造共和」的旗幟下，一語穿越時空、人心與民意，將振奮與鼓舞中國百姓，共同去開創未來憲政民主中國的新世界。
「國是會議」推出革命路線圖
「國是會議」經過認真而激烈的斟酌與討論，通過了第一屆「國是會議」宣言，即：未來中國民主進程和民主中國建設路線圖。
宣言分析與研討了中國專制獨裁歷史與時下局勢，及總結、借鑒世界各國的經驗教訓，並盡可能汲取與優化現代憲政制度，提出了如何推翻中共暴政、重建憲政民主制度的方案和途徑。
宣言用精準與簡潔的文字歸納了十條重建憲政民主路線圖綱要，其中自然涵蓋了公民權利、法治建設、新聞與結社、經濟發展、農民土地、軍隊國家化、民族問題、國際合作等方方面面的問題。
升級換代組織與行動系統
自上世紀八十年代初期「中國民主團結聯盟」創建以來，海外民運已經歷了四十餘年，組織繁雜、山頭眾多，近乎百餘團體，各有綱領、各謀其政。雖說做到了隊伍不散、口號不斷、旗子不倒，但是籬笆林立，處處欄柵，力量分散，成效甚微。倘若僅僅在組織網絡郵件群裏發發報導與總結，只是顧影自憐、自娛自樂而已。
「國是會議」將虛化山頭與組織，以項目、議題集結全球民運組織，有步驟、有計劃地展開全球規模化行動。既然是聚合展開、及分階段項目進程，展望今後的中國民運工作，就要像經濟工作一樣，同樣要重視「投入產出」，任何項目與議題，事先要有計劃、預算與執行效果預測。中國民運幾十年積累的經驗、時間與精力、人脈關係、及有限經費等，都是投入項目的資本。項目的實施，設計步驟，社會延伸聯絡，及媒體安排等，必須兼顧行動的效率性、社會的影響力，真正喚醒世人，激活社會，振奮民主革命。
美國兩黨祝賀與支持「國是會議」
面對俄烏與以哈兩場戰爭、全球經濟衰退，及動蕩的國際政情等，今年美國的大選，民主黨與共和黨激情湧動、競爭激勵，但是面對中國政府，面對中共極權統治，兩黨態度是一致而統一，他們都期待中國政治體制的轉型，建立憲政民主政府，與世界自由民主力量接軌，為世界和平發展，為穩定國際政治提供有力保障。
3月4日，「國是會議」在美國國會山莊舉行新聞發佈會，數位國會議員如美國共和黨眾議員麥克•加拉格爾（Michael
Gallagher，美國與中共戰略競爭特設會員會主席，剛訪問過台灣）、美國民主黨眾議員馬西•卡普圖爾（Marcy
Kaptur），因為國會休會期間，都派了多名高級幕僚到場表達支持。他們在媒體前表示：祝賀「國是會議」的召開，勉勵與支持中國民主運動重整隊伍，開啟新的征程。卡普圖爾議員的通訊主任還在新聞發布會上念了她的致辭。
「國是會議」在國會山莊舉行新聞發佈會的會場，是加拉格爾眾議員幫助借用的。
國會行政部門中國委員會幕僚長陶智（Piero Tozzi）親臨新聞發布會，他代表共和黨眾議員、國會中國委員會主席克里斯•史密斯（Chris
Smith）致辭：「民主的台灣可以證明，華人社會可以將自由民主制度完美地發揮，中國大陸的人民可以自己爭取自由與人權，這不需外力。中共政府如今在西藏、新疆等地違反人權，無視中國文化里孟子所主張的『民為貴，君為輕』，因此對於暴君，人民有權利去推翻他，因為人在做，天在看。」
各民族齊心協力推翻中共統治
民族之間存在矛盾，源於中共的專制統治。世界上人為制造的麻煩比比皆是，漢族與藏族、維吾爾族、南蒙古等之間存在矛盾，就是典型例子。人為制造的矛盾與難題，需要各民族共同溝通、化解。比如藏漢矛盾，就有「中間道路」，作為化解漢藏矛盾的基礎與方向。
無論是西藏、維吾爾、南蒙古、香港、台灣，以及中國大陸人民遭受的迫害與奴役是一樣的，他們均是遭遇了中共獨裁專制的威脅恫嚇和殘酷鎮壓。中國民運沒有選擇，只有堅定不移地與各民族站在一起，反抗中共的迫害與欺淩，團結起來齊心協力推翻中共統治，才是解決與建設民主中國的基礎，是最終解決香港、台灣與各民族問題的前提條件。
學習、借鑒與優化民主國家的治世方略與精神，「國是會議」將帶領中國民運早日走出低谷，贏得中國民主憲政運動的勝利！
這將不僅僅是一「石」激起千層浪，更是：亂石穿空，驚濤拍岸，卷起千堆雪！
