A 23-member delegation of the Chinese Democratic Movement (CDM) has arrived here to support a Tibetan exiles' demand of autonomy from China.
Addressing the media, Chin Jin, the head of the delegation, appealed to the world leaders to help restore democracy in China.
"I want the world leaders should have a kind of obligation to help Chinese and Tibetan people to achieve what they want. Chinese people want democracy and Tibetan people want a meaningful autonomy. I think the democracy in China and autonomy for Tibet is two sides of one coin. We should work together," said Chin.
CDM is a loosely organized political movement in China against continued one-party rule by the Communist Party of China. The movement began during Beijing Spring in 1978 and played an important role in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
The members of the CDM delegation are from six countries i.e. USA, Australia, Germany, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan, besides Taiwan and Hong Kong. (ANI)

A Chinese pro-democracy delegation backs Tibetan exiles' autonomy demandA one-party regime can promote a culture of unanimous consensus and a single mind of brainless echoes and thoughtless endorsements. Dissentions, doubts and individual judgments are less tolerated and even discouraged in the name of ‘harmony’. This kind of Beijing duck like regime is dangerous if the leadership is blind, deaf, power hungry, corrupt, manipulative and distorts justice. China can fall into the trap of the 1-party Stalin-like regime that cannot shake off terror, horror, murders and tyranny during his lifetime. After all, Stalin with the unconditional support of his one party and meeting zero resistance was the one person in human history that had outperformed Hilter, and had caused the highest human toll in Europe and in Russia. No one within that 1-party system can nor dare to remove him off during his long reign of terror. Millions died and suffered up until his time of death, and yet he is still hailed as a hero today. Tyrants can be removed in a democratic system, not so in a 1-party setup where weaknesses are naturally covered up by the uncontested 'gang in power & followers in crime'. It is the Emperor’s new clothes culture. Do we want to risk a repeat of the same in China? Besides, is this kind of spoon-feeding, unquestioning mentality healthy for China’s youth and its future? |
