"Issues and Opinions" Program: Wei Jingsheng Talks about Hong Kong's Future

-- Bao Shen and Yu Zhou, Voice of America'

 

18.02.2015 23:20

WASHINGTON --

Recently, several universities in Hong Kong conducted student elections.  Some candidates put forward propositions to no longer participate in the rally commemorating the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing in 1989.  These propositions received repercussions.  Some analysts said that this showed the candidates were being manipulated by the Beijing regime, while other analysts said it showed an awakening of Hong Kong's local consciousness, and even the rise of the Hong Kong independence conscience.  What far-reaching impact will the recent vigorous Sunflower Movement in Taiwan generate for the democracy and future of Hong Kong?  What changes have Hong Kong's younger generation had with self-awareness, self-identity, and political aspiration?  Is the "One Country, Two Systems" proposal about Hong Kong already dead and existing in name only?  What direction is the relationship between Hong Kong and Mainland China moving toward?  Is there the possibility for Hong Kong's future to be like Taiwan?  Or, is Hong Kong the possible future of Taiwan?  The VOA continues its invitation for Wei Jingsheng, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, to talk freely of his views.

 

Wei Jingsheng told VOA's "Issues and Opinions" that it is not a well thought out proposition to no longer participate in rallies commemorating the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing in 1989.  That is because refusing to show solidarity with the democratic desire of the Mainland Chinese absolutely does not mean that Hong Kong will be free from the harm of the Communist dictatorship.  During the process of pursuing democracy, everyone should support all the others.  The Communist regime has been using its mouthpiece of official media to provoke and exaggerate the conflicts between the people of Hong Kong and Mainlanders.  Its purpose is to split the forces striving for democracy.  Wei Jingsheng also pointed out the pro-independence slogan that was proposed in Taiwan was not for independence but for the purpose of realizing democracy.  And now Taiwan has realized that democracy.

The following comments from the viewers were posted under the VOA video link （http://www.voachinese.com/content/voaweishi-20150218-voaio-1/2648680.html）within 25 hours after the show.

 

Comment 1: by "Eliminate the Communist Party"; at 19.02.2015 21:48:

Undoubtedly, the democracy movement in Hong Kong is a good start for people in Mainland China.  However, I think they have made a great mistake strategically, by not sufficiently dealing with the Communist Party that is shrewd and astute.  They should seek out or organize some experts and thinkers to conduct analysis and guidance, instead of doing something that could be harmful to the democratic movement.

 

Followed comment by Chen; from Guangzhou; at 20.02.2015 12:57:

Absolutely right!  Mr. Wei talked very reasonably!  Now the Communist bandits are provoking Mainland Chinese to hate Hong Kong, just like they have been encouraged to hate Xinjiang and Tibet.  In this way, when the Communist bandits take harsh measures agains the people in Hong Kong, they will have no worries.  For the purpose of seizing power and protecting power, these Communist bandits will use any smothering measures.  The democrats in Mainland China are looking at Hong Kong.  This is what the Communist bandits worry about most.  So now these Communist bandits use some bad habits that the Mainlanders have to sow discord between people in Mainland China and Hong Kong.  I hope the compatriots in Hong Kong will see this clearly and do not get fooled.  Listen to the views of related experts in the world and thus do not get capsized!

 

Comment 2: by "Looking Clearly at the Communist Party"; from Mainland China; at 19.02.2015 19:52

We support a democratic constitutional road for China.  The problem is that there is no organization that can oppose the Communist Party now, or be able to support China after the Communist Party and thus avoid turmoil in China without damaging people's safety.  Of course the reason that there is no such organization is because of the intensive suppression the Communist Party has done against the civil society in not allowing any force to grow in the past several decades.  The Communist Party grew into a prairie fire from a single spark, so they are very experienced and will do whatever it takes to prevent any other sparks.  This is sad for the Chinese nation; how do we have a self-rescue after we got on the pirate ship?

 

Comment 3: by anonymous author; at 19.02.2015 19:49:

Wei Jingsheng might be the first president in China after it realizes democracy.  That is because his mind, insight, vision and grace are all ready for it.  The Chinese people would be able to have pride in this kind of president.  This is the style a world-class leader should have.

 

Comment 4: by Liang; from Canada; 19.02.2015 14:06:

As a person from Hong Kong, I am very concerned about the democracy movement in China.  I also understand that if there were no democracy in Mainland China, it would be impossible for Hong Kong to expect anything different.  But the general people in Hong Kong are too realistic.  I have contacts with a lot of friends in Mainland China, and find they have gone through years of brainwashing, do not know the West much, and are infected with corrupt habits.  They are discontented with the society and think that China will be strong in the future, but lack the ability to analyze.  Of course there are some intellectuals that have insight of the current situation, but that was just a few.

 

Reviews of 5: Author: anonymous 19.02.2015 11:48:

China is right at the dawn like the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1989.  It is very difficult to reverse now.

时事大家谈：魏京生谈香港前途

宝申, 雨舟

18.02.2015 23:20

华盛顿-

 

香港几所大学不久前进行学生会改选，部分参选人提出不再参加六四纪念集会的主张，引发各界反响。有分析称，这显示参选人受北京操控，被"赤化"；也有分析说，这是香港本土意识、甚至是香港独立意识的抬头。不久前轰轰烈烈的太阳花运动对香港民主和香港前途会产生什么样的深远影响？香港年轻一代的自我认识、身份确定、和政治诉求发生了何种变化？"一国两制"在香港是否已经名存实亡？香港与大陆的关系正在朝什么方向发展？香港未来是否有可能走上台湾之路？美国之音继续请中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生畅谈他的看法。

 

魏京生对美国之音时事大家谈说，不参加六四纪念集会不是一个正确的主张，因为拒绝声援大陆民众的民主诉求绝对不等于香港将免受独裁之害；在追求民主的过程中，人人必须支持人人；中共利用手中的官媒喉舌，挑动和渲染陆港民众之间的矛盾，就是为了分化两地，以分裂民主诉求的力量；台湾的独立派之所以喊出独立口号，并非为了独立，而是为了达到实现民主的目的，台湾做到了。

评论之1:

作者: 铲除共产党 19.02.2015 21:48 

香港的民主运动对大陆人民来说无疑是开了一个好头，但我觉得他们一直以来的在策略上存在着很大的失误，不足以应对老谋深算的共产党。他们应该寻求或组织一些专家智囊团进行分析和指导，不要盲目的做一些有损民主运动的事情。

说得太对了！

魏先生说的很入理！现在共匪就是挑拨大陆人民仇恨香港，就像仇恨新疆、西藏一样，这样一旦共匪要对香港人动手，共匪就没有后顾之忧了。共匪为了夺权、保权，啥阴招都会使用的。大陆民主都看着香港呢，共匪最担心的是这点。现在共匪就以大陆人被共匪惯坏的一些习惯来挑拨大陆与香港人的关系。希望香港同胞明鉴！不要上了共匪的当，还是要多听听全球相关专家的意见，才不会翻船！

 

评论之2：

作者: 看清中共 发自: 大陆 19.02.2015 19:52 

支持中国走民主宪政的路，问题是中国现在还没有任何组织有能力和中共对抗，或者有能力在中共退出后能撑起中国的力量，让中国不要发生动荡，波及百姓的安危。当然之所以没有这股力量，也是因为中共几十年来对民间组织力量的强力打压，和不允许任何力量发展壮大。中共就是星星之火可以燎原不断发展壮大起来的，所以他们非常有经验和不惜一切代价杜绝另外的星星之火。这是中华民族的可悲，上了贼船，如何自我解救。

 

评论之3：

作者: 不具名 19.02.2015 19:49 

魏京生或许会成为中国民主实现之后的第一任总统。因为头脑、见地、眼界和风度都具备了。中国人将可以为有这样的总统感到骄傲。这才是世界级的领导人的风范。

 

评论之4：

作者: 梁 发自: 加拿大 19.02.2015 14:06 

身为香港人，我是十分关心中国的民主運动，也明白大陸沒有民主，香港也休想。而一般香港人还是太现实。接觸了不少国内朋友，发现他们經过多年洗腦，对西方了解不多，也感染了貪腐陋習，他们对社会不滿，又以为中国將來会强大，無分析能力。当然也有知識份子洞察時局，不过是少数。

 

评论之5：

作者: 不具名 19.02.2015 11:48 

中国正处在89苏联解体的前夜，很难逆转了。
