World should follow India in fighting against China, says Tiananmen Student Leader Zhou Fengsuo

Lauding the steps taken by India to counter China’s expansionist insurance policies, Zhou Fengsuo, co-founder and President of Humanitarian China and Tiananmen Student Leader requested different international locations to observe India in tackling China.

Speaking to a webinar titled ‘Emperor Has No Clothes: China Under Xi Jinping,  Zhou Fengsuo mentioned in the present day the good democracy of India is dealing with a totalitarian regime of China and I see an enormous position for India.

“What can India do to confront Xi Jinping’s China? There are a lot of issues that I am deeply concerned about. First is the interaction with Taiwan. It is a liberal and thriving democracy. During my last five visits to Taiwan, I was amazed to see how wonderful it has done. The country has no match because Taiwan knows CCP very well. This is why they were alert during the Covid-19 and were able to contain it. They need recognition. I hope India could establish a formal diplomatic relationship with Taiwan. Before that, we could have a lot of exchanges. Another important issue is the Hong Kong crisis. Think about national security law. Never in world history, we have seen a law that could prosecute people outside their country. I hope India can do a lot of this. The third issue is the Chinese firewall,” mentioned Zhou Fengsuo.

Zhou additionally added that India is a really robust tech energy. We must battle on the firewall know-how collectively. There have been web canons impacting the enterprise of firms deployed by China. Any nation that advantages from the worldwide web shutdown is China because it has constructed its personal web surrounded by partitions. We must battle collectively towards China to maintain the web free and open. We can work collectively to interrupt the firewall. This can also be a software for CCP for brainwashing. It is sort of a fortress.

Sharing his story and wrestle at Tiananmen Square, Fengsuo mentioned, “My story begins from the Tiananmen protests in 1989, which represents the dream for freedom and democracy in China. It was for the primary time in China that Chinese individuals have been capable of specific their love for freedom. Since then I’ve been working to take ahead the legacy for freedom of democracy in China sooner or later.My organisation Humanitarian China works for supporting human rights in China. Every yr we assist 100-200 political prisoners from China. The variety of such political prisoners is growing day-to-day. Our thought is to offer ethical assist of connecting individuals exterior with individuals dealing with persecution in China – supporting the liberty motion.”

On China’s position in spreading the COVID-19 pandemic, Fengsuo mentioned, “Very recently, a Professor of Peking University, sentenced for several years in prison and during the pandemic he wrote an open letter criticising China for spreading the virus and asked the world to take action. Wuhan is somehow like Tiananmen. People were not allowed to talk. There is no way for people to speak out. This pandemic has become a global threat because of the totalitarian CCP regime. It is shocking to learn that a Medical General said that China released the vaccine on February 26. This is extremely shocking!”

He argued that the Chinese Communist Party is a menace to your complete world and mentioned that everybody should realise China’s human rights state of affairs because it has an impression on individuals everywhere in the world together with India. The world ought to have understood how a regime who’s killing its personal individuals will not be a menace to your complete world? The even larger tragedy was the silence of Western powers. I applaud India for banning all these apps.

Regarding the debates on Xi deviating from CCP powers, Zhou Fengsuo opined that CCP is a monster, an evil. It has been the identical years in the past. For instance, the Party Secretary who was supporting the scholars in Tiananmen and was favouring opening China politically was kidnapped. Every step after that was a pure extinction. Xi Jinping, Hu Jintao, all needed to undergo this course of. Xi Jinping needs to be Mao 2. For Mao, the affect was morally and politically within China. He was simply an emperor of China. But exterior China, his life was restricted simply to the Communist world. Xi Jinping comes out from it and is working to develop China. They need to occupy the world. They is not going to cease. That’s why it turns into essential for India. Xi Jinping declared himself because the everlasting chief. BRI is likely to be economically and technologically essential for China, however it’s also a navy success. He will additional go after that course of. There can also be some background of him. He was not a mainstream princely. His father was a labourer and was on the margins. Jinping was by no means on the centre. As a consequence, when Xi grew up, he suffered loads from psychological insecurity. A whole lot of this must be defined by this. People who’re near him have been shocked by this variation.

Speaking to the webinar Thinlay Chukki ,a Special appointee for Human Rights at The Tibet Bureau, Geneva, mentioned that in Tibet  there was a bloodbath of 1.2 million Tibetans and greater than 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed.

“All the thirty rights that are enshrined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, have been destroyed by China. These rights are only in letter and never allowed to be practiced. When it comes to freedom of religion, we are not even allowed to keep portraits of His Holiness Dalai Lama in our homes.” mentioned Thinlay Chukki.

Chukki  additionally added ,enforced disappearances should not new phenomena in Tibet. Our 11th Panchen Lama was kidnapped alongside together with his household when he was simply 6 years previous. Today he has turned 25. China has categorically refused to launch him. In his place, China has appointed its personal Panchen Lama who’s from a household of CCP cadres. The monks are pressured to sing and dance to songs claiming victory of China. They are even pressured to spit on footage of the Dalai Lama.”

On Chinese makes an attempt of fast demographic change in Tibet, she mentioned, “China is working on an intense demographic change in Tibet. According to a very recent report, the population of Tibetans in Tibet is around 6 million and there are 10 million Chinese staying there. If you look at urban areas, there are 10 Chinese on every one Tibetan. Every policy executed by Xi Jinping is aimed at the sole objective of the sinicization of Tibetans and their unique identity and culture. Out of 154 self-immolating Tibetans, most of them have been monks and nuns. In one of the most touching stories, Tenzin, a 23-year-old girl self-immolated herself, leaving behind a 6-year boy. It shows that being Tibetan is so difficult, we can’t even say our prayers in front of His Holiness Dalai Lama.”

The webinar was organised by Law and Society Alliance and Defence Capital and moderated by senior journalist Bipindra NC and advocate H Vaidynathan.
