Why the CCP Should Step Down and Actually is on the Way Out of China Shengde Lian Why the CCP Should Step Down and Actually is on the Way Out of China By Shengde Lian, executive Director of Free China Movement http://www.freechina.net/ January 8, 2005 The so-called "Reform" led by the Chinese Communist Party started in 1978 has proved to be a completely failed attempt to save it's doomed life. The CCP and its government have failed in its ideology; it's promise to Chinese people of an equal and a just society, not to mention the freedom and the democracy in a true Republic the Chinese people have established in 1912 and had been fighting for during the previous two republican revolution. All the 55 years of totalitarian rule under CCP is too long and has adequately proved the unwillingness and inability of the CCP to transform the Chinese nation to a democratic one with hope and future. The longer the CCP is in power the more lost the Chinese nation is suffering politically, economically and environmentally. Before 1978 the CCP and its government only had monopoly on political power and this unbalanced and checked power had led to the death of more than 80 million Chinese people during peacetime. But the nation's assets were at least under the name of state-owned and at least economically the people were equal to certain extent. Since 1978 due to the expansion of communist's power from political area to economic area, the CCP and government officials and their followers have converted tremendous amount of state owned assets into their own pockets as "private properties" while the majority of the people's living standard compared to those privileged one percent of the whole population is expanding. The obvious result if the "leadership class" of the PRC, namely the workers and the peasants became totally deprived of any property share they suppose to have under the PRC Constitution and millions have to stand up and fight for their basic rights to welfare, rights to get paid and the rights to have their own labor union before the CCP's illegal conversion of national property into their private hands are complete. The fact is the conversion of national property and transfer of it is almost complete and the Chinese people is left with almost no resource to build a new republic where the government is of the people, by the people and from the people. Imagine of the national asset is a big circle composed three parts, one third of it is used in the economy to has a sustained growth, the second one third is supposed to be enjoyed by the people and the third is supposed to be kept for our offspring. Under 55 years if CCP leadership, the much of the first one-third of the asset/resource has been wasted and stolen by the rulers. Much of the second one-third of the asset/resource has been taken away from the majority of the powerless people and much of the environment and other resource has been destroyed. The CCP is just doing one thing--to stay in power as long as possible and transfer as much asset as possible before it's doomed death in history. Hereby the Chinese people has a very challenging task ahead of us tight now: to end the CCP totalitarian rule ASAP in order to lower the loss the nation is suffering and then to work together to complete the third republican revolution so a true republic will emerge in China. In the new republic the people will mange themselves through elected officials and the people has full participation in the resource allocation and development policy setting. In the new republic the political power is balanced and checked. In the new republic there is independent press and all the fundamental rights will be protected. In the new republic China will become free. In the new republic true justice and stability could be achieved. (01/08/2005 13:13)
