China Issues Dubious “White Paper” on Human Rights prior to June 4
2014-05-28 04:47 AM EST
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has launched widespread arrests,detention, clamp down, kidnapping and monitoring of activists, dissidents, and people of religion, earlier than expected, in order to destroy the June 4 Memorial in China. The CCP’s recent publication of the “white paper” on China's Human Rights in 2013 claimed ‘progress’ made in China. Some people call it deceptive, while others believe the ulterior motive behind the white paper is to divert attention away from the 25th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre.
As the world is focusing on China’s human rights abuses for the 25th anniversary of June 4 Massacre, the CCP State Council published the White Paper dubiously called: "Progress in China's Human Rights in 2013" on May 26. In about 21,000 words, the White Paper covers nine aspects such as democracy, freedom of speech, personal rights, and so forth. It bleats that "China's progress in its human rights undertaking is there for everybody to see."
Chinese activist Hu Jia comments that the white paper is published with an ulterior motive.
Hu Jia, activist: "It is clear that June 4 is approaching. Within 10 days prior to June 4, the human rights White Paper is to pave the way to whitewash the historical facts and deflect any discussion of social reality about the June 4 Massacre. It is to stir the muddy water and dilute the issue of human rights in China."
Hu Jia believes that human rights abuse issues in China are obviously made more prominent by the fact that the CCP is talking more about human rights in China.
Hu Jia: "I have to say that it is actually very simple. Just ask the person who wrote the White Paper to come to my place, I have a group of plainclothes downstairs. They have been there to stop me from going out for more than 93 days now. If he can explain it clearly what the so-called ‘progress’ is, I would say I really and totally admire him."
Earlier, Hu Jia was warned: Do not participate in the June 4 memorial activities. If he goes to Tiananmen Square in black, Beijing will put him in jail for at least 12 years on the charge of "inciting subversion of state power."
The Chinese netizen Mr. Zhou strongly disagrees with the CCP’s so called human rights White Paper.
Mr. Zhou, Chinese netizen: "It is total BS. I feel there are more violations against human rights this year, such as ‘tea drinking’, deletion, and blocking Internet accounts. Detention is common, arrest is done for many casual reasons. No trial for any of these prolonged and extended detentions. I despise the so-called White Paper."
It is understood that the report on 2013 human rights in China is the 13th White Paper the CCP has published since 1991. This year, the CCP listed the controversial Internet speech to show that Chinese people “enjoy the expanded space of freedom of speech.”
Mr. Zhou: "The so-called freedom of speech is about the gossip of your neighbors. I don’t think there is any freedom to express opinions on social issues. Democracy? I do not see any democracy. The police arrest people at will, without a warrant or subpoena. We don’t vote, we can’t decide anything the government is doing. Do you call it democracy?"
Early this year, human rights defender Cao Shunli died of torture during detention. The Marxist regime has intensified suppression of human rights activists and dissidents with the approaching of the June 4 Memorial. There are arrests, restrictions of freedom, and forced travel on a large number of dissidents. It is the opposite of what the CCP has claimed.
Many people believe there is an ulterior motive behind the the so called White Paper before the 25th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre.
Xing Tianxing, commentator: "I believe it is the routine lying tactic of the CCP, especially when human rights abuses are criticized by the international community. They are trying to white wash with these types of articles or books. They are further brainwashing the people because they know these tactics would only work on the Chinese.”
Many people believe that the CCP would not have to conduct arrests or be concerned about what the community has to say about China’s human rights issue if the CCP was confident of its human rights standards Any arrest and stability maintenance will only show the instability and the fear of the regime.
