Wei Jingsheng: The Beijing Olympics could be the Worst One in Olympic History

By Ming Fu and Yuhan Li of Sound of Hope, July 24, 2008

With only two weeks in the countdown for the opening of the Beijing Olympics, the Beijing regime has imposed many strict tactics, from blackouts and clampdown to martial law right before the games, causing complaints from the masses all over China. Mr. Wei Jingsheng made remarks that these Beijing Olympics games could be one of the worst in Olympic history due to the organization by the Chinese communist government.

On the eve of the Olympic Games, the Chinese communist regime brutally suppressed the Tibetan people by sending more troops into the Tibetan region, tightened its monitoring and controlling over petitioning citizens all over the country, forbade non-Beijing petitioners to enter Beijing, put those still petitioning in Beijing into jail, put strict control over foreign tourists, and so on. It has been reported that the whole country will have Internet server blackouts during the period of the Olympic Games. All these actions taken by the Chinese communist regime against human rights are beyond comparison in Olympic history, except perhaps the case of the Nazis and Hitler in 1936.

Reporters from Radio Sound of Hope interviewed Mr. Wei Jingsheng, the famous human rights activist. Wei remarked that when Hitler's Germany was organizing the Olympic games, there were also calls for opposition; Hitler released several Jewish prisoners at that time, in order to hoodwink the world and put a golden touch on his face. Hitler deceived the world. Now the Chinese communist government is following the Nazi's example and intend to achieve the same result. The only difference is that the Beijing regime has more sophisticated tactics and tricks than Hitler, to deceive the international community.

(Wei's voice) "It has been taking opportunities in trade and using economic tools to control the media in western society and to influence western politicians, and using some fabricated and manipulated news to cheat the people in western world. In this aspect, the Chinese communist government is the same as the Nazis."

However, Wei Jingsheng pointed out, the situation at this time is not exactly the same as 1936. The world now has more freedom in media and higher speed in information exchange and expressing opinions, so the voice of criticizing the Chinese communist regime is still very loud from the international society.

(Wei's voice) "That is why the Chinese communist regime has not yet achieved all its goals. It failed to hide its evil innermost intentions completely. Therefore, the voice of criticizing the Chinese communist regime is still very loud from the international society."

Wei Jingsheng commented, right now the Chinese communist regime may be facing more obstacles internally than internationally. (Wei's voice) "The Chinese communist government has bigger trouble than Hitler had (in 1936), because nowadays Chinese people are not as easily deceived as the German were people then. The Chinese people, after suffering under the dictatorship for several decades, understand more and more clearly about the evil nature of the communist system. To a different extent, all the Chinese people have an attitude against the Communist regime, despising or, at least, distrusting the regime. Therefore, the Chinese communist regime may be facing more obstacles internally than internationally right now. You can see, recently, many activities by ordinary people against the government have become shocking. A clear target is the Beijing Olympics. They would make trouble to the Chinese communist regime, during the Olympic Games."

Wei Jingsheng said that under such circumstances the communist regime is suppressing even more strongly inside China, with Beijing being almost under martial law. Such tight control may backfire and draw even stronger reactions by the ordinary Chinese people. This is already a failure for the Beijing Olympic Games and probably is leading to the worst Olympic Games in history.

(Wei's voice) "The communist regime is facing huge obstacles inside China and is taking all types of severe measures to suppress the people. Beijing city is currently almost under martial law. Such tight control would force the Chinese people not to tolerate it any longer. From this view, we can say that the organization of this Olympic Games is already a failure. The communist regime is losing its decorative shining face. Moreover, many activities by ordinary Chinese people against the communist regime, during the Beijing Olympics, could likely make these games the worst in Olympic history. Although we are not predicting how bad it could be, however, we can tell for sure that it will not be so peaceful during these Olympic Games."

魏京生：北京奥运可能成为奥运史上最糟糕的奥运

【大纪元7月24日讯】(希望之声记者傅明、李玉涵采访报导)距离北京奥运只剩下两个多礼拜的时间，在奥运前夕，北京当局在全国施行了许多严密的戒严措施，民众怨声载道。魏京生先生表示，此次的北京奥运，可能会被中共办成奥运史上最糟糕的一次奥运。

中共在奥运前夕在西藏地区加派军队镇压藏民，严密监控各地访民禁止他们到北京上访，关押在北京上访的访民，严格控管外国的观光客等等；据悉在举办奥运期间将全国封网，中共如此危害人权的做法，在奥运史上除当年的希特勒之外，无人可比。

记者采访了著名人权活动家魏京生先生，他表示，当年德国希特勒办奥运时也曾激起反对的声浪，为掩人耳目，他放了几个犹太人粉饰他的形象，欺骗了西方国家；中共现在也想搞成那样。但是中共欺骗国际社会的手段，比当年希特勒要高明的多。

他说："它利用贸易机会、利用经济的各种手段来控制西方的媒体、控制西方的政治家，制造一些假的新闻来欺骗西方的老百姓，这一点它和纳粹是共同的。"

不过魏京生说，现在的情况和1936年毕竟又不太一样，国际社会舆论比当年更加自由，资讯传播速度也比当年更快，所以国际社会对中共政府的批评声音还是相当强烈。

他说："所以现在共产党的想法没有完全得到实现，它想隐瞒的事情也没有完全隐瞒住，所以国际社会对中国政府的批评声音还是相当强烈。"

魏京生还表示，现在中共在国内遇到的困难可能比国际社会更大："中共政府这次遇到的麻烦比当时大的一个原因，是中国的老百姓已不像当时的德国老百姓容易欺骗，中国老百姓经过这几十年的时间对中共的罪恶已经看的越来越清楚了，大家对共产党都是抱着不同程度的反对的态度、鄙视的态度；至少是不信任的态度，所以中共在中国遇到的困难可能比国际社会更大一些。最近你看很多老百姓的反抗活动非常剧烈，目标比较明显的就是针对奥运会的，要在奥运会期间给共产党制造麻烦。"

魏京生说在这种情况共产党在国内的镇压更厉害，北京几乎被戒严了，相对的也更引起国人的反弹，此次的奥运可以说是已经算不成功了，甚至可能成为历史上最糟糕的一次奥运会。

"共产党在国内遇到的困难那么大，各种镇压活动搞的非常厉害，而且像北京几乎是戒严了，弦绷的那么紧，对老百姓来说也更加不能忍受，所以奥运期间可以说共产党已经搞得不成功了，也不会让共产党觉得那么有光了。但是中国老百姓针对共产党的这个奥运会采取的各种行动，可能会使这个奥运会成为历史上最糟糕的一次奥运会，糟糕到什么程度我不敢说，但肯定来说，这回奥运会不会那么平安的度过。"
