Foreword
Establishing a modern democraticsystem in China has been the goal of the Chinese nation for a century. To thisend, modern China successively experienced the Beiyang Government establishedafter the Xinhai Revolution, the Republic of China unified after the NorthernExpedition, and the People's Republic of China established after the ChineseCivil War. More than a century has passed since then, and China has not onlyfailed to achieve democratic republic, but has instead moved towards a morebackward party-state system and a one-party dictatorship. This is a misfortuneand a tragedy for the Chinese nation.
The fundamental reason why theChinese nation has reached this point lies in its cultural backwardness, lackof faith, and outdated ideology. This inevitably leads to the immaturity of thenation as a whole and the inability to form a mature civil society. Even today,it has failed to produce a mature political group capable of undertaking thegreat cause of national rejuvenation. In particular, ignorance and radicalismhave allowed communist utopias to spread rampantly in mainland China, causingunprecedented disaster for the Chinese nation.
1. The collapse of the CCP regimeis a prerequisite for the establishment of a democratic nation in China.
The CCP's one-party dictatorshipand totalitarian rule is the most direct and major political and institutionalobstacle to China's realization of a democratic republic and the establishmentof a free, democratic, and rule-of-law society. It is a stumbling block to thedemocratization of Chinese society. Without ending the CCP's one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule, it is impossible to establish a moderndemocratic society in China, let alone advocate, promote, or promote democracy!
Therefore, ending the CCP'sone-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule is a prerequisite for China toestablish a modern, free, democratic, and rule-of-law society. For details onhow to end the CCP's one-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule, please referto the article "A Political Solution to End the CCP's Authoritarian andDictatorship Rule" on this blog, which will not be elaborated here.
The question now is: after thecollapse of the CCP regime and the end of its one-party dictatorship, can Chinadirectly establish a democratic republic and enter a modern democratic society?This is a very real question facing every patriot who pursues democratizationin Chinese society and strives for the cause of democracy in China. It is alsoa question concerning the future of democratization in Chinese society andwhether China can smoothly build a free, democratic, and rule-of-law societyafter the end of the CCP's one-party dictatorship.
Some people may be optimisticabout this issue, believing that once the CCP regime collapses, the Chinesepeople will have the right to choose freely and can elect a democraticgovernment through voting. China can then enter a modern democratic society andbecome a free, democratic, and rule-of-law country.
However, the harsh social reality in China showsthat the collapse of the CCP regime only provides a premise and condition forChina to build a modern democratic society. The collapse of the CCP regime doesnot mean that China can directly achieve political democratization or smoothlybuild a modern free, democratic, and rule-of-law society. This is an issue thatChinese society must seriously face after the collapse of the CCP regime!
Why is it said that the collapseof the CCP regime does not equate to the democratization of Chinese society? Isthe collapse of the CCP regime merely a prerequisite for building a moderndemocratic society in China? Because to establish a modern democratic societyin China, simply removing the CCP regime as a roadblock and stumbling block isfar from enough.
To establish a modern democraticsociety in China, we first need citizens and a civil society, as well as astrong sense of rules and a sound legal system as guarantees. It is impossibleto build a modern, free, democratic, and rule-of-law society on the ruins of afeudal autocracy, in a society filled with the ideologies of lackeys, slaves,the ignorant masses, and mobs.
Therefore, after the collapse ofthe CCP regime, it is urgent to eradicate the Party culture, eliminate backwardideas and feudalistic traditional consciousness, thoroughly transform andrebuild the corrupt and backward society left by the CCP rule, and cultivate anew generation of citizens with modern civilized ideas. This is a prerequisitefor China to build a modern democratic society and the foundation forestablishing a modern democratic society. Otherwise, it will be impossible forChina to successfully build a modern democratic society.
Next, we will analyze in detailwhat kind of society will be left to us after the collapse of the CCP regime,and how to realize the century-old aspirations of the Chinese nation in such asociety:
II. The Nature of Chinese SocietyAfter the Collapse of the CCP Regime
First, it is essential tounderstand the nature of Chinese society after the collapse of the CCP regime,because the current state of society after the collapse of the CCP regime isdetermined by the nature of society. I think friends who have a little understandingof China and some political common sense know that China is a small-scalepeasant society with thousands of years of feudal autocratic rule. It has neverexperienced a real stage of capitalist development or a real free marketeconomy. It is a feudal, unified society that worships power, is autocratic anddictatorial, and has no rule of law.
After the CCP seized state powerin 1949, it further stifled the nascent national industry and commerce. Afterinciting peasants to brutally plunder the land of rural gentry, it thenconfiscated all the land seized by the peasants and deprived the people oftheir means of production and livelihood, forming an unprecedented party-stateownership system. This system impoverished the ordinary people of thecountry to the point of abject poverty, while simultaneously carrying outforced brainwashing and implementing a cruel one-party dictatorship.Ultimately, it transformed the people at the bottom of Chinese society from theoriginally simple and kind peasants into the common people, obedient citizens,and ignorant masses of today.
Although China's economy has developed significantlysince the reform and opening up, the CCP's refusal to carry out politicalsystem reform and its insistence on party control over everything has led tothe alienation of power and the prevalence of money-power transactions. Thishas transformed the traditionally "official-centric" social eliteclass into a privileged class and a powerful elite class, becoming a vestedinterest group.
More importantly, the concept of"great unification" that has prevailed in China for thousands ofyears has evolved from the unification of territory, weights and measures,calendar, and etiquette in the past imperial era to the "great unificationera" in the Communist era. Today's China not only wants nationalunification, government order unification, etiquette unification, ethnicunification, weights and measures unification, and writing unification, but hasalso gone to the extreme of wanting political unification, economicunification, ideological unification, cultural unification, and propagandaunification.
Today in China, from top tobottom, all localities, departments, and industries must Party, and must acceptthe absurdity of the Communist Party's absolute unified command, unifieddecision-making, unified deployment, and unified action.
In conclusion: Due to the rule of the CommunistParty, Chinese society today has degenerated into a unified society that iseven more backward than feudal autocracy. The basic quality of 1.4 billionChinese people is far inferior to that of the Qing Dynasty during its feudaltraditional society. Under the rule of the CCP, 1.4 billion Chinese people havebeen transformed into 1.4 billion powerless Communists, and the level ofcivilization in the entire society is at least a hundred years behind modern civilizedsociety!
III. The Political Situation ChinaWill Face After the Collapse of the CCP Regime
Politics is about how to govern acountry and the current state of that governance. Because the CCP practicesone-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule, the collapse of the CCP regimewill inevitably lead to the following political situation:
First, because the CCP regimeadheres to the principle of the Communist Party leading everything, all levelsof government departments and systems in the country must accept the absoluteleadership of the Communist Party. The national constitution and laws arerendered meaningless, and the National People's Congress is just a rubberstamp. Therefore, once the CCP regime suddenly collapses, the entire powerof the country will be completely paralyzed.
Second, due to the CCP's long-term adherence toone-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule, and its brutal suppression ofpolitical dissidents and social organizations, the entire Chinese society hasno independent political parties or social organizations, and no politicalalternatives. Under such circumstances, once the CCP regime suddenlycollapses, the entire society will be in a power vacuum and anarchy.
Third, due to long-standing ethnicconflicts and contradictions between local and central governments, if the CCPregime were to suddenly collapse, it would inevitably trigger a struggle forindependence among various ethnic groups and regions, leading to the rise oflocal forces, their growing strength and power, and the formation of asituation of regional powers and warlordism. China's political situation mayface an uncertain and turbulent period.
Fourth, due to the intensificationof internal contradictions within the ruling group, once the CCP regimesuddenly collapses, it will inevitably lead to the original departments andregions openly breaking away from the CCP and acting independently. Somepowerful figures may even take the opportunity to vie for the highest power inthe country, which could lead to the risk of a large-scale civil war.
Fifth, because the CCP's one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule have penetrated into every corner ofsociety, once the CCP suddenly collapses, China will face a society where theremnants of the Communist Party and its influence are widespread. It willhave to face nearly 100 million remaining Communist Party members, more than 80million Communist Youth League members, more than 3 million military personneland millions of police officers, as well as a large number of brainwashed andeducated fools and little pinks.
All of these will become hugepolitical obstacles to the reconstruction and transformation of Chinese societyafter the collapse of the CCP regime. We must not be blindly optimistic aboutthis and must be fully prepared.
IV. The Economic Situation ChinaWill Face After the Collapse of the CCP Regime
The economy is the foundation of a country, and the principle that the economic base determines the superstructure is a fundamental tenet of political economy. At its core, a society's economic system determines its political system, legal system, ideology, and so on—this is the norm in normal human societies. Modern democratic countries all operate on a free market economy foundation, and their political, legal, and ideological systems are all built upon this foundation.
Under the one-party dictatorshipand totalitarian rule of the CCP, this fundamental principle of politicaleconomy has been completely reversed. China's economic system is entirelydetermined by its political system, by the CCP's one-party dictatorship andtotalitarian rule, and serves to maintain political rule. Therefore, China'seconomy is a typical bureaucratic capitalist economy, with the entire economiclifeline of the country entirely under the control of bureaucratic and cronycapital. This is a distorted economic system, and it represents the biggestobstacle to political democratization in China after the collapse of the CCPregime.
The CCP adheres to a system ofparty control over the economy, making it the sole foundation for its one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule. The sudden collapse of the CCP regimeinevitably requires a complete economic collapse; otherwise, a massiveone-party dictatorship like the CCP would not easily collapse if its economicfoundation remained intact and the economy continued to function normally.Therefore, if the CCP regime were to suddenly collapse, it would leave behind asociety with a collapsed economy and an economic mess in dire need of recovery,primarily including:
I. National fiscal depletion,fiscal deficits and bad debts, mounting debt, unpaid military salaries, andunpaid civil servant salaries;
II. Business closures, companybankruptcies, factory closures, a real estate market collapse, and widespreadeconomic depression;
III. A surge in unemployment, witha large unemployed population roaming the country;
IV. Food shortages affecting 1.4billion people, etc.
In short, once the CCP regimecollapses, what it will leave behind, both in terms of economic foundation andeconomic reality, will be an unmanageable mess that must be fundamentally andthoroughly rebuilt. This will be an extremely difficult challenge!
V. The Cultural Landscape ChinaWill Face After the Collapse of the Chinese Regime
Culture is a nation's spiritualwealth and a reflection of its values. It encompasses knowledge, beliefs, laws,morality, customs, and more. In essence, culture embodies a nation's andpeople's ideology and behavior. An advanced culture can guide a nation'sprogress, while a backward and decadent culture becomes an obstacle and burdento social development. So, what kind of cultural situation will the CCP faceafter its collapse?
First, there is a lack of civic consciousness: After the collapse of the CCP, it will leave behinda society with a general lack of awareness of universal values. The peoplegenerally lack civic consciousness and a sense of national ownership. Due tothe CCP's one-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule, long-term informationblockade and brainwashing education, the whole society lacks basicunderstanding and awareness of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, humanrights, separation of powers, judicial independence, nationalization of themilitary, and universal values, as well as basic understanding and awareness ofmodern human civilization.
Second, there is the outdated and backwardtraditional concept of a unified system: national unity, unified government orders, unifiedleadership, unified decision-making, unified deployment, and unified actionhave been deeply ingrained in the minds of 1.4 billion Chinese people, whilenational independence, local autonomy, and federalism have become synonymouswith division. Adapting to local conditions, division of labor andresponsibility, and clear division of duties have all become means to underminethe Party's unified leadership. This is an important cultural foundation forthe autocratic rule in Chinese society and a huge cultural obstacle to China'sprogress towards a free, democratic, and rule-of-law society.
Third, there is the worship ofpower: The worship of power intraditional Chinese culture is rooted in the divine right of kings and thehierarchical power and social structure. This worship of power is not onlyreflected in the political system, the pursuit of power, and the insatiabledesire for power, but also in the people's worship of power, the belief thatpower is above the law, and that any means are acceptable for the sake ofpower. This is a huge cultural obstacle to the democratization and rule of lawin Chinese society.
Fourth, there is a lack of faith: After the collapse of the CCP regime, a societyseverely lacking in faith will be left behind. Faith is belief, the valuesand worldview that influence people's behavior. Under the rule of the CCP,the so-called communist ideology and worldview have completely collapsed.Universal values and religions have been severely suppressed and prohibited.People are generally spiritually empty and disorganized. The entire society,including the officialdom and the social elite, has been monopolized by moneyand material possessions. Money worship and corruption are rampant.
Fifth, collectivism: Collectivism is supreme in Chinese society, theembodiment of absolute correctness, and the standard and model of society. Itis mainly manifested in emphasizing the collective and despising theindividual, subordinating the individual to society, and requiring theindividual to absolutely obey the collective, the nation, and the country.Collectivism has become the most powerful excuse for the CCP to force thepeople to be absolutely loyal and obedient to the CCP regime, and has become amagic weapon for maintaining the CCP regime.
Sixth, an overemphasis on rule byman and a neglect of rule of law: Chinese tradition is permeated with a culture of rule by man. The Chinesegenerally pursue honest officials, wise rulers, good officials, and uprightofficials, while downplaying or even ignoring the rule of law and the checksand balances on power. In officialdom, interpersonal relationships are placedabove legal regulations. This culture of "rule by man" is the rootcause of power exceeding the law. The desire for upright officials and wiserulers, rather than placing hope in the rule of law, in institutional checksand balances, and in the mutual checks and balances of power, is another hugecultural obstacle to establishing a modern society governed by the rule of law.
The backward culture has led to ageneral lack of awareness of modern democratic systems among Chinese people.They lack basic understanding of modern democratic systems and the rule of law,as well as ideological beliefs, basic integrity, a basic sense of rules,morality, independent thinking, and a sense of ownership of the country. Thisresults in a huge ideological gap between them and modern democratic societies.These are all invisible ideological and cultural obstacles in China's journeyto build a modern civilized society after the collapse of the CCP regime. Theyare the invisible hand that hinders the democratization and rule of law inChinese society.
VI. The Current Situation of theCCP's Military Guard After the Collapse of the CCP Regime
The CCP is a power-hungry regime, but lacking legitimacy, it relies on the military to maintain its power and rule. The CCP seized state power through the military, and it continues to rely on the military to maintain its rule; the military is the main pillar of the CCP regime.
China's military obeys only theCCP; in effect, it is a party guard. Therefore, if the CCP regime were tosuddenly collapse, the CCP's party guard would inevitably face the followingsituation:
1. Because the CCP operates on theprinciple of "the Party commands the gun," and the army is onlysubject to and obeys the Communist Party, if the CCP regime were to suddenlycollapse, the army would inevitably be in a state of complete loss of control.In addition, the loss of central government funding would inevitably lead tothe failure and paralysis of the entire army's command.
2. If the CCP regime were tosuddenly collapse, the various military regions and branches, having lostunified command and support, would inevitably combine with newly emergingpolitical forces or establish their own military governments for their own survivaland interests. This would complete the transition from the CCP's SS to aregional armed force, and the entire SS would disintegrate.
3. After the sudden collapse ofthe CCP, the complete paralysis and disintegration of the military commandsystem will inevitably lead to the uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear,biological and chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction possessed bythe military, posing a huge hidden danger and threat to regional stability andinternational security.
This means that with the collapseof the CCP regime, the CCP army, which once served as the party's guard, facesthe risk of being completely out of control and becoming a major threat tonational and regional security. This is something that must be clearlyrecognized.
VII. The Social Reality China WillFace After the Collapse of the CCP Regime
First, we are facing a societythat lacks basic understanding and awareness of the outside world and universalvalues. Due to the long-term one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule of the CCP, Chinese society is isolated fromthe outside world. In particular, the CCP's long-term denigration and negativepropaganda of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, the separation of powers,judicial independence, and universal values has not only isolated Chinesesociety from the outside world, but also resulted in the entire society lackingeven a basic understanding and awareness of universal values.
Second, the collapse of the CCPregime will leave behind a society without any civil society organizations orpolitical forces: Under the CCP'sone-party dictatorship, the CCP severely suppresses civil society organizationsand strictly prohibits the existence of all civil society groups and politicalorganizations. Once the CCP regime collapses, it will become a society without anypolitical alternatives, a society that has lost its self-organization,self-management, and self-help functions.
Third, the collapse of the CCPregime will leave behind a society with a persistent and widespread influenceof the Communist Party: After the collapse of the Communist Party regime, nearly 100 millionCommunist Party members, more than 80 million Communist Youth League members,more than 3 million military personnel, and several million police officerswill remain in Chinese society, as well as a large number of brainwashed andeducated "little pinks". These remnants of the CCP regime will becomea huge obstacle to the democratization of Chinese society after the collapse ofthe CCP regime!
Fourth, the collapse of the CCP regime will leavebehind a society lacking democratic political talent: Due to the CCP's long-term information blockade andbrainwashing education, especially its malicious slander of modern democraticsociety and universal values, once the CCP regime collapses, China will face ashortage of democratic talent. There will be a serious lack of outstandingtalents with modern democratic awareness, knowledge of modern democratic rules,rich democratic and legal literacy, and experience in building democraticsystems. This will become a huge obstacle to China's social transformation.
Fifth, the collapse of the CCPregime will leave behind a divided society: Due to the CCP regime's bloody and brutal rule,hundreds of millions of Chinese people have died unnatural deaths, accumulateda large number of wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice and socialgrievances, and in particular, the rights of various ethnic minorities havebeen suppressed and forcibly Sinicized for a long time. Once theselong-accumulated social contradictions suddenly disappear when politicalpressure disappears, it will lead to a serious tearing apart of the entiresociety and may even lead to long-term social unrest.
The aforementioned harsh socialrealities are the main social obstacles to the democratization of Chinesesociety after the collapse of the CCP regime. These obstacles determine thatthe path to democratization in Chinese society after the collapse of the CCPregime will be extremely difficult and tortuous. It is impossible to establisha temporary democratic government after the collapse of the CCP regime andenter a modern democratic society overnight.
Therefore, if there is no adequateideological preparation or corresponding political contingency plan to dealwith the aforementioned nature of Chinese society and the current situationthat China will face after the collapse of the CCP regime, thedemocratization of Chinese society is likely to go through a long and tortuousprocess, and may even have to pay a heavy price for it. This issue shouldattract people's high attention and concern from now on.
VIII. The serious gap between theoverall quality of Chinese citizens and that of contemporary democraticsocieties
Above, we analyzed the serious problems China willface in the political, economic, cultural, military, and social fields afterthe collapse of the CCP regime. All of these problems are directly related tothe basic quality of the people. Currently, China exhibits a general lack ofnational quality, which can be considered a prominent social phenomenon. Thisincludes low levels of civilization, a lack of legal and rule-abidingawareness, a lack of independent thinking ability, a lack of spirit ofresistance, and a lack of basic moral cultivation.
This is a real problem that needsto be seriously addressed. Once established, the CCP's one-party dictatorshipmonopolized all social resources. The people not only completely lost theirpolitical rights but were also deprived of all property and freedom rights.State terrorism was used to forcibly reshape the thinking of the entire societyand the people, with long-term, systematic, and coercive indoctrination.Therefore, if the CCP regime were to suddenly collapse, what would inevitablybe left to Chinese society is a population of 1.4 billion people who have beensystematically indoctrinated by the CCP regime—a society whose overall nationalquality is vastly different from that of modern democratic societies. This ismainly manifested in:
1. Under the one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule of the CCP, culture, information, and newsfrom the civilized world are blocked and censored, completely isolating aperson from the outside world from birth.
2. Under the one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule of the CCP, a person lives from birth in acompletely closed and isolated society—the only society they can access. Theirideological level, level of civilization, cultural level, moral character,customs, and legal awareness can only be determined by this distorted society,and they grow and develop according to the direction set by this distortedsociety.
3. Under the one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party, Chinesepeople are exposed to Party culture from birth, indoctrinated withanti-humanity, anti-civilization, and anti-universal values propaganda andteachings, and are taught absolute loyalty and obedience to the Party. Thiscauses contemporary Chinese people to develop in a direction completelyopposite to contemporary human civilization from birth, towards a low level ofnational quality, and therefore naturally exhibit low quality, low morality,and a lack of independent thinking ability.
4. The gap in overall nationalquality means that this gap is widespread and universal: all social strata,including intellectuals, social elites, and civil servants in China, generallylack democratic awareness and modern legal consciousness. This is a serioussocial problem that Chinese society must face after the collapse of the CCPregime.
5. More importantly, the overallquality of 1.4 billion people will inevitably determine the basic quality ofChina's political forces after the collapse of the CCP regime. The gap in theoverall quality of 1.4 billion people will inevitably be reflected inChina's hastily implemented after thecollapse of the Communist Party, the result will inevitably be disastrous.
IX. Eight Major NationalTransformation and Reconstruction Projects Needed in China After the Collapseof the CCP Regime
We have previously analyzed the social situation China will face after the collapse of the CCP regime. The analysis shows that, as a whole, Chinese society will be significantly different from modern civilized society. It is unimaginable that a generation, brainwashed by the CCP for decades, whose minds are filled with Party culture, the concept of a unified empire, and feudal ideology, and who are completely ignorant of modern Western culture, Western civilization, and the spirit of the rule of law, could build a modern democratic society on the ruins of a society where the remnants of the CCP are everywhere, the economy is in complete collapse, the military is out of control, and the country faces division and disintegration. This is almost a fantasy.
To build the magnificent edificeof modern democracy, especially within the swamp left by the CCP'sauthoritarian rule, a solid foundation must first be laid. Otherwise, thehigher the edifice is built, the faster it will collapse. This foundationconsists of eight fundamental reforms necessary for democratizing Chinesesociety after the collapse of the CCP regime, while maintaining social orderand stability:
The first major task is to dismantle the centralizedsystem and establish a national administrative system with checks and balances: each ethnic group and region should establish agenuine administrative system with separation of powers, judicial independence,and checks and balances based on its local realities, ensuring the independenceand autonomy of each ethnic group and region. A centralized system whereeverything must be subject to the unified leadership, decision-making, command,and deployment of the central government, and where everyone must maintainconsistency with and resolutely obey the central government, is fundamentallyopposed to modern democratic systems. Therefore, there can be no true democracywith centralized systems, and the establishment of modern democratic systemsrequires the complete dismantling of centralized systems.
The second major task is toresolutely ban the Communist Party: Because the CCP practices one-party dictatorship and totalitarian rule,its tentacles of rule are everywhere on the 9.6 million square kilometers ofland, the remnants of its rule are everywhere, its remaining forces areeverywhere, and its ideology is everywhere. It is impossible to establish atruly modern democratic system in such a social environment. Therefore, toestablish a modern democratic system, it is necessary to ban the Communist Party,thoroughly investigate and punish its crimes, eliminate its influence, andcompletely eradicate its remaining forces.
The third major project is to abolish the so-called state-owned economy and establish a genuine free market economy: the so-called state-owned economy is the economy owned by officials, which means that power has monopolized the country's economic lifeline, the market, and the national economy and people's livelihood. When the basic necessities of life for ordinary people are monopolized by power, the people are merely slaves to power and cannot become true masters of the country. The economy is the foundation of politics; without economic freedom, there can be no political freedom, and without a market economy, there can be no democratic politics. Therefore, to establish a modern democratic system, it is essential to abolish state-owned and government-owned economies, completely break the monopoly of power over the economy and the market, establish a truly free market economy, return land and means of production to the people, and allow them to become citizens with independent personalities.
The fourth major project is thenationalization of the military: this means the military must belong to the state, political parties mustwithdraw from the military, military personnel must not interfere in politics,the military must become a national defense force and a defender of the nation,and the military must not be subordinate to any specific political figure orgroup. In other words, the military cannot be loyal to any political party orindividual, cannot be subordinate to any political party or individual, cannotbe ordered by any political party or individual, and cannot become a tool ofpolitical struggle. This is an important hallmark of modern democraticpolitics. Otherwise, true constitutionalism and democracy are impossible;therefore, the nationalization of the military is essential to achievingpolitical democratization.
The fifth major projectestablishes a well-developed civil society: Civil society refers to non-governmentalorganizations, which are various grassroots organizations formed on the basisof shared interests, goals, and values, such as independent trade unions,farmers' associations, and organizations protecting women and children. Civilsociety plays a crucial role by advocating for and providing public services,representing the voices of vulnerable groups, promoting social development,protecting human rights, and especially in overseeing public power. Civilsociety is the foundation of civil society, an important channel for citizenparticipation in national governance, and a significant hallmark of ademocratic society.
The sixth major project is tocomplete the reconstruction of culture: Culture is the spiritual wealth of a nation and apeople, and a concentrated embodiment of a society's concepts and values.Culture mainly includes language, customs, religion, values, and legal systems,all of which are closely related to the construction of a democratic system. Asociety permeated with Party culture and outdated traditional culture cannotpossibly establish a modern democratic system. Therefore, it is essential tothoroughly discard the dross of Party culture and traditional culture, andrebuild Chinese culture according to the principles of freedom, equality,fraternity, the rule of law, human rights, and contract, thus removing culturalobstacles to the democratization of Chinese society.
The seventh major project is toachieve independence and autonomy for all ethnic groups and regions: A crucial factor in building a constitutionaldemocratic society in China is enabling all ethnic groups and regions toachieve independence and autonomy. Ethnic and local autonomy is the foundationfor the democratization and rule of law of the entire country. It is difficultto imagine a society where even ethnic groups and regions cannot be independentand self-reliant, and where everyone must obey unified leadership, command,decision-making, and action in all matters, allowing the people to enjoydemocratic rights, the right to decide national affairs, and to truly bemasters of their own destiny. Therefore, after the collapse of the CCP regime,the first priority must be to achieve independence and autonomy for all ethnicgroups and regions; this is the foundation for national democratization.
As the beginning and starting point for theindependence and autonomy of all ethnic groups and regions, each ethnic groupand region must first complete its own independent constitution on the basis ofa national referendum, and establish a sound legal system as a legal guaranteefor the democratization of its own ethnic group and region.
Only when all ethnic groups andregions have achieved the rule of law can the whole of China achieve the ruleof law; only when all ethnic groups and regions have achieved democratizationcan the whole of China possibly achieve democratization. The democratizationand rule of law of all ethnic groups and regions are the foundation for thedemocratization and rule of law of the whole of China.
The eighth major project is to cultivate a generation of modern citizens with modern democratic consciousness: this is the most important of the eight fundamental reform projects needed for the democratization of Chinese society. To establish a modern democratic society, it is essential to have a generation of modern citizens with modern democratic consciousness, legal awareness, and independent personalities. Therefore, after the collapse of the CCP regime, it is necessary to completely end brainwashing education and traditional education, and cultivate a new generation of people with basic social responsibility, basic integrity, independent personality, basic awareness of the rule of law and rules, and adaptability to the democratic system in a fair, just, free, equal, and freedom of belief-based rule-of-law society. Without modern citizens with modern democratic consciousness and independent personality, there can be no modern democratic society.
The aforementioned eight majorprojects cannot be completed in a day; they may take ten, twenty years, or evenlonger. This period represents the transition between the collapse of the CCPregime and the democratization of Chinese society. The so-called transitionperiod is the time of change between two social systems. Given the currentsituation and major obstacles China will face after the collapse of the CCPregime, ensuring the completion of the "Eight Major Basic Reform ProjectsRequired for the Democratization of Chinese Society" will necessitate theadoption of some extraordinary measures and means. This is a topic thatrequires further discussion.
Finally, it should be noted thatthe "Eight Basic Transformation Projects Required for the Democratizationof Chinese Society" are indispensable for the democratization of Chinesesociety. In fact, once the "Eight Basic Transformation Projects Requiredfor the Democratization of Chinese Society" are completed, China willpossess the political, social, economic, cultural, and legal foundations forachieving political democratization, and the democratization of China will be anatural outcome.
X. International takeover afterthe collapse of the CCP regime will serve as a bridge to democratization inChina.
Above, we focused on analyzing thepolitical, economic, cultural, defense, and social realities facing Chinesesociety after the collapse of the CCP regime. Through this analysis, we canclearly see that after the collapse of the CCP regime, China, whether inpolitics, economy, culture, society, or the overall quality of its citizens,faces a huge gap compared to contemporary democratic societies. If Chinesesociety wants to smoothly navigate the transition period after the collapse ofthe CCP regime, it urgently needs the assistance of democratic countries aroundthe world to maintain social order and help complete the country'stransformation and reconstruction.
The eight major nationalreconstruction projects urgently needed by China after the collapse of the CCPregime, and the democratization of China, are tasks that today's overseaspro-democracy organizations and future local power brokers cannot undertake,nor can they be accomplished solely by the Chinese people themselves. Thisis not merely a matter of strength and power, but also a matter of capabilityand competence. Therefore, international takeover is necessary. This is anissue that post-CCP China must seriously confront. The necessity ofinternational takeover is as follows:
First, international takeover aims to maintain basicsocial order and security: to prevent a power vacuum and anarchy that couldlead to social chaos after the collapse of the CCP regime.
Second, international takeover aims to prevent themilitary from spiraling out of control: to prevent the uncontrolledproliferation of nuclear, biological, and weapons of mass destruction, whichcould endanger regional and international security.
Third, the international takeoverwas intended to ensure a smooth transition and transformation of Chinesesociety after the collapse of the CCP regime: to prevent social unrest andcivil war in China, and to stop conflicts and disputes between ethnic groupsand regions.
Fourth, international takeover isan important measure and guarantee for completing the eight major nationaltransformation and reconstruction projects required by China after the collapseof the CCP regime. After the collapse of the CCP regime, it is necessary tothoroughly transform the mess left by the CCP and carry out socialreconstruction. These are things that cannot be accomplished by the strengthand ability of Chinese society itself.
Fifth, and most importantly,international takeover is a bridge for China to democratize: internationaltakeover itself is the grafting of Western culture, universal values, socialcivilization, the rule of law, civil society, and democratic system. These aregenes that China lacked during its thousands of years of feudal autocracy andone-party totalitarian rule, and must be introduced to China throughinternational takeover.
China is a feudal society withthousands of years of history. After 1949, it suffered from the one-partydictatorship and totalitarian rule of the Communist Party. It is a societycompletely permeated by feudal traditional culture and Party culture. It is asociety whose traditions, thoughts and culture have been seriously polluted. Itis a society that has lost the ability to reform itself. International takeoveris the most convenient bridge and path for China to become a free, democraticand rule-of-law society!
XI. Five bases and reasons forinternational takeover after the collapse of the CCP regime
First, because the Chinese Communist Party is thelargest terrorist organization in humankind today: China is in fact a countryheld hostage by terrorist organizations, and has become the biggest destroyerof the international order, posing the greatest threat to world security andhuman society. This is the basis and reason for the need for internationaltakeover after the collapse of the CCP regime.
Furthermore, after the collapse ofthe CCP regime, it is necessary to control and transform the society it hashijacked and ruled, thoroughly eliminate the CCP's remaining forces andinfluence, remove its security threat to human society, and enable it to returnto civilized human society. This is entirely in line with the purposes andprinciples of the United Nations in maintaining international peace andsecurity, and is the due responsibility and obligation of the internationalcommunity.
Second, China will have no political replacement after the collapse of the CCP regime: The sudden collapse of the CCP regime will leave behind a complete collapse of the national political structure, total social paralysis, the threat of large-scale civil war and disintegration, the malfunction and paralysis of the entire military command system, the uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction, national fiscal depletion, massive debt, unpaid military and civil servant salaries, business failures, company bankruptcies, factory closures, a housing market crash, and food shortages. The interference and sabotage by the remnants of the CCP regime, the serious gap between the overall quality of the people and modern democratic systems, and a series of other serious social problems mean that without the intervention and assistance of external forces, such a society will inevitably suffer from long-term social unrest and internal strife. Therefore, it is imperative for the international community to take over the CCP regime after its collapse. Third, the eight fundamental reforms required for the democratization of Chinese society necessitate guidance and assistance from the international community: Given the significant gap between the overall quality of the Chinese population and that of modern democratic societies, it is difficult for the Chinese people and China's existing, immature political forces alone to shoulder the historical responsibility of social reform in the event of the collapse of the CCP regime. This includes breaking down the great unification，The realization of independence and autonomy for all ethnic groups and regions, the establishment of constitutions and social reconstruction in all ethnic groups and regions, and the cultivation of a new generation with basic social responsibility, basic integrity, independent personality, basic awareness of the rule of law and rules, and adaptability to the democratic system are essential. Therefore, it is imperative for the international community to take over the regime after its collapse.
Fourth, China lacks the politicalstrength and capacity for social reconstruction: Rebuilding a constitutional democracy cannot beachieved through empty principles and slogans such as the separation of powers,the nationalization of the military, and judicial independence. Maintainingnational stability and transformation requires strong political power andeffective measures and means, which China will not possess after the collapseof the CCP regime. It will then have to rely on the support and assistanceof the international community. This is determined by the objective realitiesof Chinese society after the collapse of the CCP regime; therefore,international takeover after the collapse of the CCP regime is inevitable.
Fifth, China lacks the foundation and experience for social reconstruction: After the collapse of the CCP regime, facing the "current situation China will face after the collapse of the CCP regime" and "the eight basic transformation projects required for the democratization of Chinese society," China needs to quickly and orderly build a free, democratic, and rule-of-law society. We can only humbly learn from Western countries, especially the Republic of China, and complete this task with the guidance and assistance of the international community, drawing on the experience of Western democracies and the Republic of China. We can no longer engage in so-called arduous explorations or create any "Chinese characteristics." Therefore, it is imperative for the international community to take over after the collapse of the CCP regime.
The above facts prove that afterthe collapse of the CCP regime, facing a society that has been thoroughlydomesticated by the Communist Party, a society that has been completelyinfiltrated by Party culture, and a society that has lost its ability to reformitself, international takeover is the only correct choice and way out!
XII. Basic Models of InternationalTakeover After the Collapse of the CCP Regime
First, let's look at two typicalsuccessful examples of international takeovers:
1. The Example and Model of WestGermany's Post-War Reconstruction: West Germany's post-war reconstruction wasalso a miracle and a model. Everyone knows that post-war Germany was devastatedand in dire need of reconstruction. However, West Germany, under the occupationand administration of the United States, Britain, and France, successfullyimplemented demilitarization, de-Nazification, and democratization. Ten yearslater, in 1955, the United States, Britain, and France ended their occupationof West Germany. By 1959 and 1960, West Germany's economy had surpassed that ofFrance and Britain, respectively. West Germany during the Cold War stood instark contrast to East Germany under communist rule. This successful modelshould serve as a reference for Chinese society after the collapse of the CCPregime.
2. The Example and Model ofPost-World War II Japanese Reconstruction: Following the end of World War II,at the request of the Japanese people, the US occupation authorities oversaw"democratization" reforms in Japan's politics, economy, and education.This was a highly successful model. After Japan's defeat and surrender in 1945,it began rebuilding on the ruins of war. In just about ten years, Japan'seconomy began to develop rapidly. By the 1970s, Japan had become the world'ssecond-largest economy. To this day, Japan remains one of the leadingdemocracies in Asia. This successful model should also be learned from byChinese society after the collapse of the CCP regime.
The two successful examples andmodels mentioned above provided two successful models for the internationalcommunity to take over after the collapse of the CCP regime, and also provideda reference for the social transformation and reconstruction of China in thepost-CCP era. More importantly, after the collapse of the CCP regime, Chinastill has the Republic of China as a beacon and model of democratization in theChinese world. All three pointed out the path and direction for China's socialtransformation and democratic system construction after the collapse of the CCPregime.
II. The main responsibilities of internationaltakeover include:
1. Taking over strategic locations and key facilities from the internationalcommunity after the collapse of the CCP regime; controlling nuclear weapons andweapons of mass destruction; maintaining China's border security and socialorder; 2. Assisting the provisional government in fulfilling itsadministrative responsibilities, establishing a provisional judicial system,formulating necessary provisional laws and regulations, and ensuring theirimplementation; 3. Handling some emergencies in a timely manner andalleviating public grievances; 4. Preventing military interference inpolitics; 5. Providing a certain number of democratic politicaladvisors, economic advisors, legal advisors, military advisors, and educationexperts to assist China in completing social transformation as soon as possibleand establishing a constitutional democratic system, etc.
III. Basic Model of InternationalTakeover:
The Republic of China (ROC) wouldprimarily promote and assist in establishing an international takeover body,led by the United Nations and composed of the United States, Japan, and otherdemocratic nations, to transplant the ROC's successful democratic model tomainland China. This would include, under the joint supervision of theinternational community, re-drafting the constitution, implementing ethnic andlocal autonomy, rebuilding the mainland's political, economic, and judicialsystems, reforming education, implementing the separation of powers,nationalizing the military, redistributing the means of production, andprotecting the inviolability of private property.
Fourth, international takeover isbased on shared interests:
Some netizens may question why thetakeover should primarily be carried out by democratic countries like the USand Japan. How can we guarantee that the US and Japan can successfully takeover? It's important to emphasize that the US and Japan have profoundconnections with mainland China in the political, economic, and militaryspheres. The collapse of the CCP regime and the stability and democratizationof Chinese society are closely related to the interests of the US and Japan.Therefore, helping China maintain stability and complete social transformationafter the collapse of the CCP regime, jointly building mainland China into afree, democratic, and rule-of-law society, not only aligns with the sharedinterests of the US and Japan but is also their inescapable responsibility andobligation.
First, let's talk about the United States. The CCP regime is the main enemy and competitor of the United States. The collapse of the CCP regime is itself the result of the long-term confrontation and cold war between the United States and China. In order to prevent the CCP regime from making a comeback, the United States naturally has to take over and transform China after the collapse of the CCP regime. Secondly, the United States is the world's policeman, bearing the responsibility of maintaining world peace and regional stability. As the world's policeman, the United States cannot sit idly by while the CCP regime collapses and nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction become out of control and proliferate, or while the power vacuum in China poses a security threat to neighboring countries. Thirdly, the United States is the creator of modern democracy. The fact that it was able to transplant modern democracy to a country with 1.4 billion people is also a great success of the modern democracy system created by the United States.
Japan bears an even greater responsibility. First, China and Japan are close neighbors, separated only by a narrow strait. A smooth democratic transition in China would eliminate the direct threat to Japan and ensure lasting friendship between the two peoples. Second, Japan launched its invasion of China during World War II, causing immense suffering and loss to the Chinese people, particularly severely weakening the Republic of China government and allowing the CCP to grow stronger. Japan bears an undeniable responsibility for the fall of mainland China to the Republic of China. Even Mao Zedong acknowledged this. Without the Japanese invasion of China, there would have been no victory for the Communist Party; thirdly, after the CCP's so-called reform and opening up, Japan was one of the countries that provided the most aid to help the CCP become the world's second largest economy, which ultimately made the CCP regime a direct threat to Japan and Taiwan; therefore, from any perspective, the Japanese government has a responsibility and obligation to assist in completing the social reconstruction work in mainland China.
Finally, China is a potentiallyhuge market. The United States and Japan are China's largest trading partners.China's social democratization and marketization of the Chinese economy willbring substantial returns and benefits to neighboring countries, especially theUnited States and Japan. The democratization of Chinese society will benefitnot only the Chinese people, but also the international community, especiallythe United States and Japan.
XIII, the Republic of China is abeacon and model of democracy in the Chinese-speaking world.
The Republic of China, establishedafter the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, was the first democratic country in Asia,a founding member of the United Nations, and a permanent member of the UNSecurity Council. In 1949, due to its defeat in the Chinese Civil War, it lostcontrol of mainland China. Since the 1990s, after the lifting of martial law inTaiwan, the Republic of China has rapidly transformed into a modern,multi-party, and freely competitive democracy through continuous politicalreforms, including constitutional amendments, parliamentary elections, anddirect presidential elections.
Today, the Republic of China respects universalvalues such as freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. Withits political integrity, economic prosperity, advanced technology, and thehappy and healthy lives of its people, it has become a beacon and model ofdemocracy in the Chinese-speaking world. The Republic of China's successfuldemocratic experience in Taiwan has accumulated valuable experience for thereconstruction of mainland China after the collapse of the CCP regime,providing a ready-made model for the future democratization of Chinese society.
Benjamin Franklin, one of the authors of theAmerican Declaration of Independence, famously said, "Where liberty is,there is my country." If there were only one China in the world today,I think all discerning people would agree: only freedom and democracy matter.Who would want a regime that is the most autocratic, dictatorial, backward,bloody, and brutal anti-people, anti-human, and anti-civilization regime in thesocialist world to represent China?
The reason we emphasize the role of the Republic ofChina as a beacon and model of democracy for mainland China is twofold: First,the Republic of China is the only legitimate government and the only legitimaterepresentative of China; second, the Republic of China and mainland Chinabelong to the same Chinese nation, share a common language and culture, andthe Republic of China's experience in democratization is more suitable formainland China and easier for Chinese society to accept, without language orcultural barriers. Therefore, the Republic of China today carries the futureand hope for China's democratization.
XIV. The Republic of China shouldbecome an active promoter of international takeover.
Firstly, the reason why the Republic of China shouldbe an active promoter of international takeover after the collapse of the CCPregime, rather than a participant or the main force in the takeover, is becausethe Republic of China was originally the legitimate representative of China. Theoccupied areas of mainland China were territories that the Republic of Chinalost control of. The Republic of China's participation in the takeover was aninternal affair of the country. Therefore, the Republic of China was not aparticipant in international takeover.
Secondly, after the collapse of the CCP regime, theRepublic of China, as the sole legitimate representative of China, shouldlegally take over the lost territory that originally belonged to it. However,due to the current limitations of the Republic of China's actual nationalstrength, it is difficult for the Republic of China to take over such a hugemess of 9.6 million square kilometers of land and 140,000 people left behind bythe CCP regime with its own military, financial, and resource strength. As thesole legitimate representative of China, the Republic of China has the right torequest the international community to assist in management, transformation,and reconstruction. Therefore, the Republic of China should become an activepromoter of international takeover after the collapse of the CCP regime.
Third, the core objective of international takeoveris to rebuild the Republic of China in mainland China. It involves theinternational community assisting the Republic of China in recovering themainland and transplanting its own constitution, political system, economicsystem, education system, judicial system, and democratic achievements tomainland China. After international takeover, the social reform andreconstruction left by the CCP regime will be carried out. In fact, this is torebuild the Republic of China in mainland China. Therefore, the Republic ofChina should be an active promoter of international takeover after the collapseof the CCP regime!
XV:Returning to the Republic ofChina is the best path to democratization in Chinese society.
The Republic of China is a modelof democracy in the Chinese world today, the first democratic republic in Asia,and the sole legitimate representative of the Chinese nation. The Republic ofChina and mainland China belong to the same Chinese nation, share the samelanguage and culture. The valuable achievements of the Republic of China'sdemocratization are most suitable for mainland China and most easily acceptedby mainland Chinese society. Therefore, returning to the Republic of China isthe best way for Chinese society to democratize after the collapse of the CCPregime, and it is also the common aspiration of the Chinese nation.
First, returning to the Republicof China is not simply about the Republic of China occupying and rulingmainland China. The foundation of this return is cultural, ideological,religious, moral, value-based, and social system recognition. Therefore, returningto the Republic of China essentially means recognizing its culture, ideology,beliefs, morality, values, and social system; it means replacing theCCP-imposed party culture with the culture, ideology, beliefs, civilization,and values of the Republic of China; and it means replacing the CCP'sone-party dictatorship with freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and humanrights.
Second, theperiod of international takeover after the collapse of the CCP regime was theperiod of reconstruction of the Republic of China in mainland China. The entiretakeover process should be the process of mainland China returning to theRepublic of China. The social reform during the entire period of internationaltakeover was the process of eliminating party culture and all feudal,autocratic and dictatorial ideologies and cultures. The so-called socialreconstruction was to transplant the democratic achievements of the Republic ofChina today, as well as its advanced political, economic, educational andjudicial systems, to mainland China, thereby realizing the century-old ideal ofdemocratic republic in mainland China!
Third, the entire period ofinternational takeover after the collapse of the CCP regime was also a periodin which all ethnic groups and regions in mainland China achieved completeindependence and autonomy. A free, democratic, and rule-of-law society is builton the foundation that people of all ethnic groups and regions can fully enjoytheir right to be masters of their own destiny. A unified society cannot be atruly free, democratic, and rule-of-law society. Therefore, the period ofinternational takeover was also a period of gestation for China to implement afederal system. In the future, a free, democratic, and rule-of-law Chinawill inevitably be a federal republic, a Greater China Federation.
Fourth, we have every confidenceand reason to believe that after the collapse of the CCP regime and thesubsequent international takeover, when Chinese society faces the world again,it will certainly be a truly free, democratic, and rule-of-law-based GreaterChina Federal Republic, or several truly free, democratic, andrule-of-law-based federal republics. Just as the Qing Dynasty reformiststatesman Zheng Xiaoxu predicted: "The Qing Dynasty perished in therepublic, the republic perished in communism, and communism perished in jointrule." History has fortunately proven Mr. Zheng Xiaoxu right!
It is important to emphasize thatregarding the democratization of Chinese society, some friends have proposedrebuilding the Republic of China, establishing a provisional democraticgovernment through consultation among various factions after the collapse ofthe CCP regime, or even achieving democratization through peaceful evolution,peaceful resistance, or armed revolution. These ideas are all divorced from theobjective realities of Chinese society and are fundamentally unrealizablefantasies. As for the proposals by some scholars to achieve democraticnation-building in China through one-party leadership, multi-party cooperation,political system reform, and consultative democracy, these are even morewishful thinking!
Others believe that Taiwan'spursuit of independence today constitutes a betrayal of the Republic of Chinaand that it will never reunify with the mainland. This is a grave misconceptionand a manifestation of a mindset focused on unification. In reality, Taiwan'sindependence is a fait accompli, setting a precedent and leading the way formainland China.
[b][u]Not only shouldTaiwan become independent, but all ethnic groups and regions in mainland China,including Xinjiang, Tibet, Inn
