| 【Human Rights】 So the Chinese people only deserve “One-party participatory democracy”? |
Liu Xiaobo |
| October 19, 2005 saw the publication of "China's Construction of Democratic Politics" by the Information Office of the State Council. Though it is the first white paper on the construction of democratic politics ever issued after the CCP came to power in 1949, it contains nothing new or constructive. The whole report is babbling with far-fetched demonstrations that China is special in culture and situation, that the CCP's power is supreme above all conceivable things and that the CCP remains great and wise whatsoever. |

| 【Tibet】 Statement concerning the dialogue process with China |
Lodi Gyari |
| We feel if the Chinese side is really serious in wanting to address the grievances of the Tibetan people and to provide them with the same rights that are provided for in the Chinese Constitution and the relevant statutes on minority rights, we should do that through our channel and across the dialogue table. His Holiness the Dalai Lama continues to be committed to the dialogue process and we are ever ready to continue the discussions. |

| 【Special Cases】 Appeal to release Chinese writer Dr. Liu Xiaobo, now charged of inciting subversion of state power |
Liao Tienchi |
| To arrest and charge Dr Liu Xiaobo is a severe violation against human rights, and also a threat to the practices of democracy in other countries. We strongly appeal to the German government to remind the Chinese government that to charge and put on trial Dr. Liu Xiaobo is a violation of China’s own constitution as well as Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which China is a signatory. The Beijing government should release Mr. Liu Xiaobo immediately and unconditionally.

| 【June Fourth 】 Tyranny is blind in China, but not justice |
Liao Tienchi |
| People would liken the plight of the Uighurs to that of the Tibetans. Although you are not forced to go exile like Dalai Lama and his people, you are forced into exile in your own homeland. Chinese communist party seeks to stamp out your culture, language and religion. You must celebrate your own history and culture, and share it with the world. Do not let the Chinese government , master of manipulation ,interpret your history. In seeking allies in your movement, do not forget the Han Chinese who have been just as much victims of the Communist Party as you have. Although justice in China is not blind, Tyranny is. It is only with solidarity among all victims of Communist oppression that a victory over the evils of injustice can be won.

| 【June Fourth 】 Racing with Terror |
Zhou Qing |
| I believe that terrors and lies are the most important methods that all dictators exercise to maintain control. They can apply the resources of the whole country, for occupying, overriding and terrifying citizens at any cost. Meanwhile, they constantly produce lies to distort history and reality. The terror and lies are spreading over the whole country of China, to pollute and to drug the people in various social groups. I would define this as “National Terrorism”. |

| 【Around The World】 Obama intel pick works for Chinese government |
|
|
There was concern the deal would give China a major foothold in the U.S. economy and would also boost Chinese influence and political clout worldwide, particularly in Asia, where Unocal maintained major holdings in Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam and Bangladesh. |

| 【Dialogue】 Discussing Counterrevolution with Chen Fengxiao |
Li Changyu |
| Does "power from the barrel of a gun" require a nation-wide sweep in which 710,000 people are killed and millions are labeled "counterrevolutionaries" to impose a "stable regime"? Looking back at the 60 years since the founding of the PRC, it appears that the crux of consolidating power lies in whether the people enjoy true democracy and freedom, whether the economy can bring prosperity, and whether the people can effectively monitor the government. |

| 【West Meets East】 China's 8888 versus American Initiative |
Cao Changqing |
| If the Chinese people really want to "take off," they must first of all abandon their dependence on externals and groups. They need to acknowledge their own indomitable spirits -- using "my" brain and hands to create "my" world and not allowing amorphous outside powers to control and swallow "myself" up. |
