To Your Excellency CCP Secretary-in-General Mr. Hu Jin Tao and all the standing
committee members of CCP Political Bureau,
Glad to know that your party is going to offer an amending plan for the CCP
Constitution at the Third Plenary Session of the 16th General Assembly which
will be held in October. This is a time-sensitive significant act, showing the
political ambition, vision and a good starting point in the political reform of
the fourth generation of leaders of the Chinese party in power.
Chinese Shadow Government is a supervisory government like a party not in
office, it is the shadow of the figure of the party in power and its government.
Whatever the party in power and its government does, CSG will supervise,
disclose, promote or oppose whatever is relevant. The goal and aim are to
supervise the party in power in managing state affairs lawfully, promoting
political reform, pushing China to progress, realizing democratization and
republicanism, and enriching the people and country. Chinese are not quite used
to this modern government form yet. It will be good once they are used to it.
To manage a huge nation of 13 hundred million people is not an easy thing. It is
even more difficult to change this country from a poor, backward one to a rich
and advanced one, from feudalism and totalitarianism to democratization and
republicanism. We certainly have noticed that, since the economical reform and
the practice of open-door policy, the party in power has been working hard and
has had some very noticeable achievements in many aspects. But we also noticed
that, it is very difficult for Chinese reform to go any further. It is due to
the deep-rooted problems, the limits the CCP embodies. China has to reform; the
party in power has to change completely.
Chinese people¡¯s expectation to the party in power is to serve people, not to
grant favors. This is the first class universal standard. If you can do this,
you have the people; if you can¡¯t, or won¡¯t, you will have to leave the
office. People don¡¯t want to see either the drama of the false constitution
polity by Cixi, the last Empress of Qing Dynasty, or the false republicanism by
Yuan Shi Kai, let alone the re-play of Guangxu Reform which was so weak that it
collapsed under a little bit pressure.
CCP has a very good self-correcting system. Yet, as the saying goes, the person
who is involved is often dazzled. The invest interest rules that you can¡¯t
carry out the surgical operation by yourself. All these, affect not only China,
but also the stability of the party in power. China is like a giant with
inveterate illnesses. It staggers onto the strongly competitive world stage. The
doctors among the audience are very concerned.
To amend the constitution is a good starting point in treating China the giant.
But to heal, it depends on an accurate diagnosis and the medication and the
accurate administration of the medicines. Here we have 8 motions for the
amending of the Constitution. It is an effort to confer with the primary doctors
of the party in power, to diagnose for China, to serve Chinese people.
The first 5 motions here touch the dead knots in current Chinese politics; the
last 3 motions are the key points in current Chinese politics. All these, are
inevitable issues for anybody. It¡¯s just about when and who will face these
issues. The diagnosis and prescriptions are all here. We hope the party in power
will do what it has always claims: ¡°Being perseverant in doing good for the
people¡¯s interests, being willing to correct mistakes for the people¡¯s
interests¡±.
Here are the 8 motions:
1. Remove the item of ¡°Marxism and Leninism as the basis of People¡¯s Republic
of China¡± from the Constitution. This is the root of Chinese problems.
2. Establish a protection system for the Constitution, to ensure the polity of
the Constitution.
3. Practice two party political system and regular elections for the party in
power. End the one party dictatorship and Chinese style party leader hereditary
system.
4. Establish personnel retirement system, to root out the modern monarchy in the
Chinese style of ¡°ruling behind a curtain and ruling until death at the
throne¡±.
5. Establish specific goals in modernizing China, including in aspects like
politics, economy, culture, management, military, and offering the liberty
concerning human rights in speech, organizing, gathering, moving, and double
citizenship, etc., to meet the international standards.
6. Practice the system which allows both public and private properties to exist.
7. Introduce the government operation system which has three distinctively
different and independent parts: legislative, executive and judicial powers.
8. Establish the social administrative system which emphasizes ¡°legality,
morality, and emotions¡±
All the said 8 motions will be discussed in details in the appendix.
