Eighteen civic and human rights groups in Taiwan held a press conference in front of the Legislative Yuan on Wednesday (December 9), titled “Human Rights Stubborn Activists Unite Against China”.
Invited members of Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Hong Shen Han, said the CCP’s actions over the years have made it clear that its totalitarian and violent nature is a very big scourge in the world.
He said: “The CCP has entered a very bad, vicious cycle, in order to solve the pressure of their own internal communist struggle, so they often need to seek more violent repression outside, and after the external violent repression, may have a negative perception of other countries, international conflicts, and this conflict will ignite internal dissatisfaction with the communist rulers. .”
Hong added that the Chinese Communist regime has been creating generations of exiles, from the earliest Tibetans, to Xinjiang, and now even some young people in Hong Kong have entered this state.
As long as the Communist Party maintains its current status quo, it is difficult to talk about world peace or the arrival of real human rights.
Justine, secretary-general of Taiwan-Hong Kong Border Town Youth, said that tomorrow is World Human Rights Day, which is also the 163rd day that the Chinese government bypassed the Hong Kong Legislative Council to enforce the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law.
In fact, the purpose of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law is not to protect national security, but to protect the regime and to suppress all voices opposing the regime,” she said. Therefore, the Hong Kong version of the national security law cannot be compared to the national security laws of civilized countries.
Justine also pointed out that for Taiwan, which experienced the White Terror and 38 years of martial law, what is happening in Hong Kong now is a recreation of the White Terror and totalitarianism, and what is worse, with the current technological advances, the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government behind it have more tools to suppress and monitor people.
Justine stressed that the Chinese government is taking action to fully liquidate Hong Kong and suppress free and democratic voices in Hong Kong, Hong Kong needs the help of the international community, there is still a long way to go, and the battle has just begun.
I hope that all sectors will continue to pay attention to the situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan will continue to stand with Hong Kong.
He also pointed out that since 2017, concentration camps have been built in East Turkestan, and according to the U.S. State Department, at least 2 million Uighurs have been put in so-called re-education camps, which are in fact concentration camps.
According to the Tibetan Taiwan Human Rights Link, from 1959 to the present, the Chinese Communist Party’s violations of human rights in Tibet have intensified with the advancement of science and technology, and Tibetans have been systematically discriminated against in their own land and forced to accept China’s assimilation policy.
Taiwan’s civic and human rights groups also made four demands, including that the Taiwan government should counter China’s economic infiltration and strengthen its overall democratic defense mechanism, advocate for the establishment of a human rights mechanism through APEC, immediately establish a refugee mechanism, and that the Chinese government must adhere to international human rights principles and standards of justice.
The groups also pointed out that in the face of authoritarianism, people around the world share a common destiny, and that in the face of power, it is imperative that all be united in solidarity and continued concern for those in distress.
