Warning After the New Year of 2022

-- Wei Jingsheng

The Chinese New Year's habit is to report good news but not bad news – to the degree even to seal the mouth of the Kitchen god, even other Chinese gods and Buddhas are forced to report good news but not bad news. Now the New Year has passed and I can talk about the truth. This year is really going to be a tough time; every Chinese should prepare in advance.

Even the Chinese Communist Party’s Secretary-General Xi Jinping, who claimed that “The east is rising, the west is declining”, had to say: There is an overall problem in the Chinese economy, and everyone must prepare for a hard life ahead. Sure enough, when the United States stops infusing blood to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the so-called economic miracle in China vanishes. The former finance minister in China said the statistics were seriously falsified. Even after the fraud, statistics say that 4.37 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) closed their doors last year, ten times as many as three years ago, and this is only among the SMEs that account for half of the tax revenue in China.

Who is the most unlucky one? Xi Jinping did not say that he would stop state-owned enterprises from becoming bigger and stronger, nor did he say that he would stop harvesting large, medium and small classes, nor did he say that he would save that half of the tax revenue. He only asked his Wolf Warriors diplomats to continue their “good stories about China”, to continue to oppose the United States and democracy, to continue to seal the mouths of the common Chinese, and to continue to walk on his road of autocratic revival to become an emperor.

The rich Chinese who have colluded with the CCP government with their business are still rich even when they lost some of their properties. The entertainment stars who were punished yet still could maintain their good lives; the more than 80% of the Chinese people who are struggling to survive can only bear the evil consequences and live in misery. However, it is not difficult to fool the ignorant public, who would envy and be jealous of rich people; crazy about stars. Even the Internet Police know how to cheat the money from the CCP. It is no wonder that thousands of people who are dissatisfied with reality want to commemorate Mao Zedong -- that is, they want to use this as an excuse to do things for themselves.

Is there any way out of this predicament? George Magnus, a scholar at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, said: “It requires policies to which Xi’s China is opposed, and might just remain a mirage.” The prescription is not a secret: it is China's successful market economy of more than 2,000 years, coupled with the freedom and democracy as in the Western world that guarantees it. This truth has been proven by mankind for hundreds of years, but Xi Jinping and his foolish followers just don't want to understand.

Why? Xi wanting to be an emperor is one reason. Thousands of bureaucratic capitalists, who are effectively local emperors, are the iron fans of Secretary-General Xi. They will not tolerant the CCP model to be changed. Otherwise, who will protect their illegal interests? They are very clear that they can carry out super-economic exploitation, with all their thanks to the so-called China model, designed by Deng Xiaoping and promoted by Xi Jinping -- that is the “Chinese characteristics” that Westerners do not understand, yet it is a model of authoritarian political management of the market economy that has existed in China for more than 2,000 years.

The ancient Chinese model once led to the collapse of the Qin Empire after a short period of time. Since then, the dynasties have all changed to a mode of relative freedom and tolerance, by restricting the officials and the emperors. It was superior to the feudal serfdom that prevailed in the world at that time, otherwise China would not have maintained its leading position in the world for more than two thousand years, and there would not have been the great development of ancient Chinese economy, society and culture. On this issue, the so-called progressive scholars of the May 4th Movement tried to use the method of in alignment with Western theories to say that China was a feudal society. This has not only misled the Chinese for a hundred years, but also helped to establish a set of theories for the CCP, and meanwhile has misled most scholars and the general public in the West.

However, one of the views of the May 4th literati is correct; that is, the traditional Chinese autocratic political model, no matter how tolerant and open, is no longer suitable for the development of the modern world. It must be overthrown and to learn from the democracy, freedom and advanced civilization of the West. However, under the selfish suppression and wrong policies of the Western countries, the cult model of the integration of politics and religion from the Soviet Union triumphed. Since then, China has been plunged into an irreversible disaster.

To change the misfortune of the Chinese people and the misfortune of China nation's destiny, we must go back to the correct conclusion of one hundred years ago: study the democracy, freedom and human rights of the West. In terms of freedom and human rights, ancient China was superior to the West. What it lacked was a democratic system that guaranteed freedom and human rights. A hundred years later, it has also proved that only the Western democratic system can better guarantee freedom and human rights. Learning from the Soviet Union's integration of politics and religion plus serfdom, can only make the fate of the Chinese revert back to more than 2,000 years ago, at least not higher than that of the Qin Dynasty.

Even if the serf system changed, the Deng Xiaoping model without democracy and human rights is still a backward model. It can neither catch up with democracies nor care about the lives of ordinary Chinese. A slave is a slave, how dare you think yourself as the master of the dynasty?!

过年之后的警告

-- 魏京生

中国人过年的习惯是：报喜不报忧，甚至要封上灶王爷的嘴，连神佛都被迫报喜不报忧。好在年已经过了，可以说些实话了。今年可真是要过苦日子了，大家要提早准备。

连声称东升西降的小习书记，也不得不恬着脸说：经济全面出问题，大家要准备过苦日子。果然，美国不给共产党输血，所谓的经济奇迹就烟消云散了。中共前财政部长说统计数据造假严重。即使造完了假，统计数据也说，去年有四百三十七万家中小企业关门大吉，是三年前的十倍，这仅仅是占税收一半的中小企业。

谁最倒霉呢？习近平没说要停止国企做大做强，也没说停止收拾大中小韭菜们，也没说要拯救那一半的税收。他只说让战狼外交们继续说好中国的故事，继续反美反民主，继续封住老百姓的嘴，继续走他的专制复兴，通往皇帝之路。

官商勾结的富豪们损失了财产仍然是富翁；娱乐明星们被收拾了不影响过好日子；在生存线上挣扎的那百分之八十以上的中国大众，只能承担倒行逆施的恶果，过苦日子了。不过忽悠愚昧的大众还不是很难，对富翁羡慕嫉妒得仍然红眼病；粉丝对明星仍然粉得不要命；五毛们也仍然能骗共产党的钱。难怪成千上万对现实不满的人要纪念毛泽东，也就是想要打鬼，借助钟馗。

有什么办法走出这个困境呢？英国牛津大学的学者马格努斯说了：不改变共产党的模式，那就是海市蜃楼。药方不是秘密，中国成功了两千多年的市场经济，加上保障它的西方自由民主就是药方。这个被人类几百年来证明了的道理，小习和他的傻冒追随者们就是不愿意懂。

为什么呢？想当皇帝是一个原因，想当土皇帝的成千上万官僚资产阶级，是小习书记的铁粉。改变了共产党的模式，他们的脸往哪儿搁？他们的非法利益谁来保障？他们很清楚能够进行超经济的剥削，全靠邓小平设计，习近平发扬的所谓中国模式--也就是西方人不懂的中国特色，实行了两千多年的，专制政治管理市场经济的模式。

中国古代的模式，曾经导致秦帝国维持了很短时间就灭亡。从那之后的王朝，都改变成为对官方和皇帝有约束的，相对自由和宽容的模式。它优于当时流行世界的封建农奴制，否则不会保持两千多年的世界领先地位，不会有中国古代经济社会文化的大发展。在这个问题上，五四那帮半土不洋的所谓进步派学者，企图用对接西方理论的方式，说中国是封建社会。这既误导了中国人一百年，也帮助建立了中共的一套理论，顺便误导了西方大部分学者和民众。

不过五四文人们的一个观点是正确的，就是中国传统的专制政治模式，无论多么宽容开放，也已经不能适合现代世界的发展了。必须推翻它，学习西方的民主自由和先进文明。然而，在西方国家自私的打压和错误政策下，来自苏联的政教合一的邪教模式胜利了，从此中国陷入了万劫不复的灾难之中。

要改变国人的不幸和国家命运的不幸，就要回到一百年前的正确结论：学习西方的民主自由人权。自由和人权，古代中国优于西方，缺的就是保障自由和人权的民主制度。一百年后的今天也证明了，只有西方的民主制度能够更好地保障自由和人权。学习苏联的政教合一加农奴制，只能让中国人的命运倒退回两千多年前，至少不会高于秦朝。

即使改了农奴制，没有民主人权的邓小平模式，仍然还是落后的模式。它既不可能赶上民主国家，也不会关心老百姓的生活。奴隶就是奴隶，你以为你是赵家人哪？
