Hi, I am adding my name to the declaration, even though I was 6 years old in 1989. That fact, by the way, is also something that tyrants tremble at, everywhere in the world, especially in America.
I am adding my name to the declaration, that I am also no better than anyone who did the massacres of many civilians (and rare instances of soldiers getting killed, sometimes by their own) in 1989, also those who under the guise of martial law, killed more than 10000 civilians afterwards.
And anything decent or whatever can count as "good" by the too-low standards of the fallen human race, is from Jesus and not a trait of me.And I also add my name to the request to the Chinese government to have a civil society, to remember the Constitution
Article 5: No person, group of persons, or government structures ororganizations are allowed to be above the Constitution and law
Article 25: The government must respond to the needs and concerns of the people, it must allow itself to be supervised by the people
Article 41: The government must allow criticism by the people
A free and independent press, not controlled by Central Propaganda Department, must be allowed to exist in China, in order to live up to the Constitution. The naive and backwards and feudal idea that government, as "high officials from the emperor", does everything, and people just shut up and stay ignorant and live in mud huts, that's not the world anymore. The world is no longer in the pre-industrial pre-printing press pre-information technology era, and any civilized government needs the input and the help of the people. The situation of the world is now drastically different from the 19th century, and the way people are, the high level of education and information access and intellectual ability that people have, it's not something that could have been foreseen by some narrow-minded marginal intellectual from the 19th century. I am speaking, of course, of Marx. Also, it's the wrong priority to expend enormous resources to try to match the industrial achievements of the West (like Mao Zedong did, while forcing 70 million Chinese to the death) like going into space and building carriers, while the lives of the average people (not in the big cities) are not going well at all. When Americans went into space in 1962, what was the living standards in the American countryside, even in the villages/towns most faraway from the capital city? Every two household could afford a car. When Chinese went into space in 2003, what as the living standards in the Chinese countryside, even in the villages/towns most faraway from the capital city? Aren't most people still on the very edge of poverty? Especially the non-Han ethnicities, whose land the Beijing government is eager to grab so as to have a large Chinese territory on the map, but at the same time those people have the lowest priority in any government care-taking, their areas also receive the least development. China also uses Tibet and Xinjiang to dump radioactive wastes. In 2003, the same year that the Chinese went into space, there was extensive cover-up of the SARS, and without a free and independent press, government at any level considers anything bad event to be a mistake, and mistakes must be hidden. The SARS was covered up until it spread to the rest of the world, endangering everyone. Even then China tried everything to obstruct the World Health Organization's inspections, and most people were not told to wear respiratory masks; the government has been putting prestige of a few above the lives of many, ever since 1949. Even under the Nationalists before 1949, there were independent press. With an independent press, not owned by the Communist Party or the Central Propaganda Department, the vast majority of the country's problems would get the creative and helpful input of everyone, and there wouldn't be the now-universal cover-up and do-nothing of the government, leading to much suffering and misery in every situation, whether it's mining accidents, natural disasters, diseases, earthquakes, earthquake safety before there is an earthquake, crimes (especially crime by government officials and Communist Party members), inaccuracies of information anywhere, all these can be immediately well-responded to, and much of it prevented. People can examine the mining conditions and help make it better and not lead to so many deaths. People can supervise the government officials, so they no longer have impunity in committing crimes and corruption. People can also voice their issues without needing to come to the Tiananmen Square. People can also voice their issues without having to consider a massive demonstration, which currently is the only way of voicing concerns to the government. The Communist government established offices where people can file "applications of petition", but when people who fill out those applications are immediately arrested and beaten afterwards, what is the honesty in having such an office?
Also, peasants are being bullied in pay extra taxes, which goes into the pockets of local officials to enrich themselves. A journalist named Gui Xiaoqi, and he was even a provincial official magazine publisher, took all
the statements and all the documents issued by the Central government in Beijing, that is, out of the mouth and hands of the highest government officials, and printed that into a book. There was nothing written by the author, it was a mere collection of everything the government said at the highest level, about peasants rights. The book sold well, but then it was banned and the book and the author was called "reactionary" (or, "counter-revolutionary" since reactionary in Chinese is merely the abbreviation of against-the-revolution-movement). Those were the government's own words, and their own words and documents are illegal? Gui Xiaoqi is still a fugitive and wanted for arrest by Jiangxi province.
Ma Hailin, a ranking officer in the People's Armed Police, published an article about official corruption, how Li Peng's family used his prestige to acquire considerable wealth. This was in Zhengquan Shichang Zhoukan (Stock Market Weekly), issue 93, November 24, 2001. The Propaganda Department immediately censored the magazine, and impounded all copies that were distributed. The magazine on December 1 2001 issued an apology about it, and that next issue was also banned, because even an apology acknowledged the existence of the previous article. The magazine's editor-in-chief, Wang Boming, son of Communist Party veteran Wang Bingnan, had to make several self-criticism (or, self-accusations of being guilty, for something that is completely not guilty, he merely reported an event). Ma Hailin was put under house arrest by his own unit.
From 1998 onward, Jiang Weiping, bureauchief of the Northeast China office of the Hong Kong newspaper We Wei Po, wrote articles exposing the corruption of top leadership in Liaoning Province. He was arrested in December 2000 and sentenced in 2002 to 8 years of jail for "revealing state secrets to foreigners" and "incitement to subvert state power". Jiang however was famous in the West because of this and was released early in January 2006.
Gao Qinrong, 43, was a member of the Communist Party and a journalist for Jizhe Guancha (Journalist Observer), a magazine from the official Xinhua News Agency. He exposed fraudulent waste of money and manpower in a major irrigation project in 1998. The article was published in the internal reference edition of People's Daily on May 27, 1998. Gao also reported this to Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. For this, he was arrested on December 4, 1998 and was sentenced to 12 years in jail on false/fabricated charges (I suppose like how you treated Gao Zhisheng) of "taking bribes, procurement of prostitutes and fraud." He is still in jail in Jinzhong Prison in Shanxi province. It's rather really criminal that the government didn't arrest the people he reported on, but arrested him instead.
China needs a civil government with an open press, and freedom to criticize the government as guaranteed in the Constitution.
The government knows that were there to be an assembly about this, most of the Communist Party members would throw in their support as well. It's also difficult to tell the soldiers, unlike in a pre-Internet age, that they have to go somewhere and get rid of dangerous counter-revolutionary bandits, especially since the soldiers in 1989 grew up their childhood under Mao and the officers grew up at least some of their adulthood under Mao. This generation of people isn't the same, and neither are the soldiers, and neither is the world the same. There is just way too much information, to falsely portray people as worth killing when they aren't.
In conclusion, I add myself to the statement of the Christian leaders. And for the sake of everyone's civil liberties, whether miners or peasants or journalists, or people victims of organized crime (whether by mafia or by government), migrant workers, people exploited by corruption officials, people falsely made "guilty" by the police through torture (I think that's more satanic than killing someone, and it is the most satanic thing a person can do), people being severely beaten by the police for merely petitioning, people getting punished as criminals by the state for any beliefs that contradicts the state's supremacy of prestige..... for the sake of everyone's civil liberties and to make a civil society, where people's lives are looked after first, and not a few people's prestige, I also endorse some collective petitioning by the population for a free independent press, without the Propaganda Department, without police harassment and atrocities, and that the government stops suppressing people's criticisms (including in Sichuan) with threats, spying, and violence. (and that's also putting the prestige of a few, above the lives of many)
