Wang Jun, Chairman of CDP Hu Jintao, General Secretary of CCP
In the open letter, Wang Jun, chairman of CDPWU, pointed out:
pro-democracy, against-oligarchy
Beijing,
Mr. Hu, Jintao:
Hong Kong Zhong Tong Agency on 10-10-2007 “quoted informed source from Beijing”: Hu Jintao, general secretary of China communist party, will not appoint his successor on the 17th session of China communist party national congress, and he won’t do it later. Most Chinese believe it is a progress for China society that Hu Jintao did not appoint anyone as his successor. However, we China Democracy Party believe that Hu Jintao not appointing his successor shows that China political system is progressively changing from autocracy to oligarchy. Here I would like to congratulate Mr. Hu Jintao, no matter positively or passively, you now actually stand at a very critical cross historically.
The first important feature of autocracy that the highest leader appoints his successor, and the way that China communist party appoint its highest leader started from China communist highest dictator Mao Zedong, and then followed by its second dictator Deng Xiaoping, who appointed his successor. At the time Deng Xiaoping was dying, Jiang Zeming, though he was the one to succeed Deng in position, but was not the one to succeed Deng’s actual power. Because, the second important feature of autocracy that dictators, out of jealousy, won’t like to transfer his power completely to his successor, some may even murder the successors. Such an evil drawbacks make the third feature of autocracy, i.e. the new dictator must set up his personal authority through severe death penalty, which very often leads the state into periodical struggle, reform, removing someone in power by force or even bloodshed. Deng Xiaoping, though he put an end to the right of other leaders’ life-long tenure, he never released the highest power in his hand till his death. Nowadays China’s internal and external environment have changed greatly, and since you Mr. Hu Jintao took post as general secretary of China communist party, you should promote the state ruled by law and make state decisions more scientifically and democratically; publicity hope that democratic politics irreversibly becomes the main tune in China, and dictatorial way of appointing successor to the highest leadership should be terminated historically. Sure you understand the reason.
According to the source, China communist central committee political bureau held session of meeting day before, and discussed the work that China communist central committee political bureau did since the 16th session of China communist party national congress 6th central committee conference, and it reiterated the implementation of democratic centralism principal and collectively deciding all important issues through collective discussion. The key part of the tune is that China communist party senior leaders determined to push forward democratic politics and it has set up as system that important issues will be discussed and decided by core group collectively. It is hoped that such a system won’t be just an empty word. We believe it shows that China communist party autocratic system has gradually faded out historically, but it has to be noted that China communist oligarchy politics is now fading in historical stage. We China Democracy Party believe that though oligarchy is a progress in democratic course comparing to autocracy, it is nothing to be proud of, or feels it’s the goal we have been pursuing, instead, quite a distance ahead and great effort should be placed in the course of democracy. Only through this way Mr. Hu Jintao could become a leader of world level politicians. Otherwise, no matter what “collective decision through collective discussion”, “culture and train a team”, or “set up a system for scientifically selecting and training a team of successors”, it is just making round turns within oligarchy, far from world current trend of democracy. We China Democracy Party believe that only after having set up a goal to eliminate oligarchy eventually, such saying as “Hu Jintao pushes forward democracy within China communist party”, “China communist party, under the leadership of Hu Jintao, is moving toward more open and more democratic”, could be true and reliable. Only after having eliminated autocracy, and then oligarchy, could China communist party limit its functions within the law, and could it “accomplish role change from a revolutionary party to a party in power”, and “promote society harmony”. In fact, in early March 2007, Voice of America reported, Li, Junru, a theorist for China communist party, pointed out that there won’t be an issue for China communist party to appoint the 5th generation successor for its leadership after a democratic system set up within the party. Factions’ joint influence and leadership will be a new trend within China communist senior core, and from now on, anyone who is good at balance, conciliation and acceptable to all factions will be the new leader for China communist party. This is obviously a level of oligarchy.
World opinions believe that political competition under oligarchy can not be done openly and is not legalized, so China political democracy is still at its initial and early stage. But this direction should be affirmed, as the change trend will lead to the development of China politics to system. Therefore, quite some people hope that Mr. Hu Jintao, while choose the successor for the 5th generation leadership, will take a progressive way to allow potential candidates to enter political bureau collectively, so as to form a group of successors, and then decide the successor through internal democratic election; and a democratic system for successor will be formed gradually. However, we China Democracy Party believe, democracy system is not only the elite politics, but also grassroots politics. Because its open side could allow different social interest groups to find political group or leaders to represent their interest, so as to form a prelude for democracy development. It is especially the Chinese people that need to elect their leaders to represent and protect their interest and rights.
We China Democracy Party believe that in the term of Mr. Hu Jintao, oligarchy will be abandoned and internal party democracy be directly realized, so that China communist party members can elect its central committee members and its central political bureau members, even more senior leaders. This is also my personal expectation on China political course after the 17th session of China communist national congress. I believe that if this course is not realized for sure, China communist autocracy system remains won’t be eliminated; China communist oligarchy course cannot be interrupted, and China communist will face the tide of democracy revolution eventually. To completely eliminate dictatorship, darkness and corruption and realize democracy in China, and to connect with international civilization, so as to guarantee each and every Chinese human right and life with dignity, is the desire of China ordinary people and also the historic current. Mr. Hu Jintao needs to think about how to deal.
Wang, Jun
