On October 1, Asian American groups in Los Angeles joined together in a rare show of solidarity in response to the global October 1 boycott of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They protested against the CCP’s brutal crackdown on human rights, calling for “No to China, No to Freedom Now” and demanded the return of freedom to all communities subjected to the CCP’s oppression and suppression.
In front of the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Los Angeles, Asian groups including the Taiwanese Public Affairs Association Los Angeles Chapter, Uighur Organization of Los Angeles, Visual Artists Association of Los Angeles, China Democracy Platform, Vietnamese Community Organization of Southern California, Hong Kong Forum Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Committee of the Chinese Democratic Party gathered together.
They raised their flags in protest of the Chinese Communist Party’s tyranny against Mongols, Uighurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Taiwanese and Chinese, and demanded the return of freedom to all oppressed ethnic groups.
Mr. Chen, a democracy advocate from mainland China, said, “Today is October 1st, not a national day, but a national mourning day. All of us who are pursuing democracy and freedom are standing in front of the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles to raise our voices together to expose the genocidal crimes committed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the past 71 years.”
Mr. Chen counted the number of direct deaths caused by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from the “armed insurrection to split the country to the current Xinguan virus”, including the persecution of ethnic minorities in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia, the Korean War, land reform, anti-civil war, the Three Anti-Five Anti-Rightist Movement, the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Four Purges, the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution, the 1989 June Fourth Incident, and the suppression of Falun Gong. He also pointed out that the number of dead people in Hong Kong is impossible to estimate. He pointed out that the number of the dead is incalculable.
Li Xin, also from China, has been working on the mission of “overcoming the wall” by founding the “Overcoming the Wall Association” to open up information channels for people in China. He said, “It is right to expose the crimes of the Chinese Communist Party because it is so heinous. However, the Chinese people don’t really know about it because the firewall is completely blocking them. The firewall is the last cloth of shame for it.”
Li Xin’s Over the Wall Network platform not only imports information from China, but also exports domestic information to the international community. He solicited the perceptions of many people in China about reality and selected some of them to bring to this 11 Global Connections event.
Ms. Hillary, who is from Taiwan, told VOA that she supports Taiwan’s independence.
Erkin Sidick, who has lived in the United States for many years, is a senior advisor to the World Uyghur Congress. The Uyghurs are in danger, facing extinction,” he told VOA. The Chinese government has stepped up its efforts since 2017, and now the Uyghurs are going extinct,” he told VOA. An agency representing the Xinjiang government says that in the year 2020 alone, four million Uyghurs will be relocated to China’s Han Chinese provinces as forced laborers.”
Paul, from Hong Kong, is also based in Los Angeles. He told VOA: “I came here today to participate in the boycott of China. Today is supposed to be China’s National Day, but we want to tell the world that no one outside of China should be celebrating; we want to tell the world that people, whether they’re Hong Kong, Taiwanese, Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, or even Indians, are somehow oppressed by China.”
As the Chinese Communist government’s repression of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia has escalated in recent years, the collaboration of global resistance forces is growing by the day.
