Epoch Times--According to a high-level source in Beijing, key leaders in the
Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Politburo have reached four points of
consensus that will be announced on or around the 18th Party Congress.
The tenor of the decision is that China will take the path of democracy.
The news has been circulated hurriedly in Beijing.
According to the source, the four points of consensus are:
1. People from all walks of life, political parties,
and social organizations should send representatives to form a
preparatory committee for a new constitution. They will draft a new
constitution that protects the rights of citizens to freely form
associations and political parties.
2. It will be announced that the Chinese Communist
Party has finished its historical mission as the ruling party. Party
membership will need to be re-registered, with the free choice to
re-enter the Party or leave it.
3. “June 4,” Falun Gong,
and all groups who have been wrongly persecuted in the process of
devoting themselves to China’s realization of democracy will be
redressed and receive compensation.
4. The military will be nationalized.
The claim from the source cannot be verified, but it is said to be a
matter of discussion among high-level leaders. The source also said that
a democratic party has already been formed in the Beijing Academy of
Sciences, and that over 30 scholars in the Academy have gotten involved
in the movement, forming a “Chinese Scientists’ Liberal Democratic
Party.”
The four points of consensus are supposed to be announced on or
around the 18th Party Congress, according to the source. The congress is
supposed to be held this fall, in October or November, though there
have been rumors that it will be postponed amidst the current political
uncertainty associated with Bo Xilai’s downfall.
Shi Cangshan, an independent China analyst in Washington responded to
the news: “The domino effect set off by the Wang Lijun incident is
still going on, and the Party’s behind-the-scenes operations are being
exposed.”
Shi said that the reason Party leaders would want to announce four
consensuses such as the above is to take the initiative on its
inevitable decline. “The group that has engaged in these massive
persecutions of the Chinese people, including the persecution of Falun Gong,
is being exposed, and this is deeply implicated with the demise of the
CCP. Better that they take the initiative, which will benefit themselves
and the world.”
