Why is the CCP incapable of rationality?

The world doesn’t want Leninism with its shopping malls

By Chris Patten

“The Chinese have been so smart in so many areas. They devised the “one country, two systems” formula for Hong Kong. Is it really beyond the capacity of their political system to work out a formula for Tibet that recognizes its cultural and religious autonomy within the Chinese state?”

I think that the roblem with having a working two-systems plan with Tibet is that Tibetan people have been persecuted by the Communist Party.  They have tragic stories to tell and they seem to be pretty willing to stand up for themselves. The two systems of Hong Kong is different.  I think that the CCP KNOWS that resolving the Tibet issue is not at all as simple as some people are saying.  It is rationally suggested that the CCP should simply let the Dalai Lama back in and give them greater autonomy or at least allow them to voice their opinions and sentiments.  It seems easy right?  But the CCP has committed crimes against several groups and countless individuals throughout China.  These are grievances that the CCP is currently struggling to hide, twist and downplay.  So they can’t simply allow people to voice their sentiments pertaining to a whole range of issues surrounding today’s China.  The CCP is keeping everyone on a very tight rope, maximizing the coercive powers of money.  I do think that is what is keeping them afloat, the fact that they are still able to hide the facts from not only Chinese people, but most people in the world.  I do think that if repressed persons were allowed to speak, the world would not be talking about China’s ‘miracle’, they would be agast at the severe crimes hidden behind a dynamic and effective veil of corruption.

I do think all of this coming out and being a discussed topic is necessary for people to come to an understanding and for truth to be more and more prominent.  That will come when people who respect truth know the truth.  Now there are a lot of people who know, but only a handful who know AND care.  

Given the situation that the communist party has backed itself into, I don’t see how it can come out, how it can justify it’s actions without the protection of the professional liars in the party.  That’s why my only choice is to support the no more CCP movement.  I think a better way can replace the CCP very well.  

The Global Human Rights Torch Relay travels around the world to speak up about the situation with China

I do not yet know a lot about this movement, but I am a fan of peaceful solutions and this seems to fit the bill.  If you go to the site, you can click ‘Relay Route’ and see when it comes near you.  Please let me know the atmosphere if you happen to attend.  I am really wishing for some resolutions about China and what will happen next.  

I know that the CCP has cracked down even harder on dissidents leading up to the Olympics in order to have the appearance of social harmony as they call it.  So I definitely think that the Olympics is being used by the Chinese government as a propaganda tool.  It is a real pity for the Chinese nations that their own government is ruining something they have been looking forward to like this.

“The Human Rights Torch Relay (HRTR) is a global grassroots campaign to raise awareness prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics of the Chinese communist regime’s human rights crimes, providing a platform for all persecuted groups to speak. The HRTR strongly condemns the arrest of 1878 Falun Gong followers since January 1st 2008; Chinese regime’s ruthless crackdown in Tibet; support of corrupt regimes in Burma and Darfur; and persecution of Christians, lawyers, reporters and all who have effectively become “prisoners of the Olympics” as a consequence of China’s pre-Olympics whitewash. 

The Tibetan, Burmese, and Vietnamese communities, the Darfur Support Network (Sudan), Chinese democracy groups, student groups, former Olympians, and representatives from sports and politics are among the relay participants. The HRTR was initiated by the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG).”

I have heard “Olympic Spirit” recently in debates about the torches and China and human rights.  What does it mean?  Maybe setting aside differences and being friendly among nations for a good-time event.
