| 【Special Cases】 Appeal to release Chinese writer Dr. Liu Xiaobo, now charged of inciting subversion of state power |
Liao Tienchi |
| To arrest and charge Dr Liu Xiaobo is a severe violation against human rights, and also a threat to the practices of democracy in other countries. We strongly appeal to the German government to remind the Chinese government that to charge and put on trial Dr. Liu Xiaobo is a violation of China’s own constitution as well as Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which China is a signatory. The Beijing government should release Mr. Liu Xiaobo immediately and unconditionally.

| 【June Fourth 】 Tyranny is blind in China, but not justice |
Liao Tienchi |
| People would liken the plight of the Uighurs to that of the Tibetans. Although you are not forced to go exile like Dalai Lama and his people, you are forced into exile in your own homeland. Chinese communist party seeks to stamp out your culture, language and religion. You must celebrate your own history and culture, and share it with the world. Do not let the Chinese government , master of manipulation ,interpret your history. In seeking allies in your movement, do not forget the Han Chinese who have been just as much victims of the Communist Party as you have. Although justice in China is not blind, Tyranny is. It is only with solidarity among all victims of Communist oppression that a victory over the evils of injustice can be won.

| 【June Fourth 】 Racing with Terror |
Zhou Qing |
| I believe that terrors and lies are the most important methods that all dictators exercise to maintain control. They can apply the resources of the whole country, for occupying, overriding and terrifying citizens at any cost. Meanwhile, they constantly produce lies to distort history and reality. The terror and lies are spreading over the whole country of China, to pollute and to drug the people in various social groups. I would define this as “National Terrorism”. |

There was concern the deal would give China a major foothold in the U.S. economy and would also boost Chinese influence and political clout worldwide, particularly in Asia, where Unocal maintained major holdings in Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam and Bangladesh. |

| 【Dialogue】 Discussing Counterrevolution with Chen Fengxiao |
Li Changyu |
| Does "power from the barrel of a gun" require a nation-wide sweep in which 710,000 people are killed and millions are labeled "counterrevolutionaries" to impose a "stable regime"? Looking back at the 60 years since the founding of the PRC, it appears that the crux of consolidating power lies in whether the people enjoy true democracy and freedom, whether the economy can bring prosperity, and whether the people can effectively monitor the government. |

| 【West Meets East】 China's 8888 versus American Initiative |
Cao Changqing |
| If the Chinese people really want to "take off," they must first of all abandon their dependence on externals and groups. They need to acknowledge their own indomitable spirits -- using "my" brain and hands to create "my" world and not allowing amorphous outside powers to control and swallow "myself" up. |

| 【CIC News Express】 Maoist Skeleton Begins to Emerge from CCP Closet |
China Information Center |
| Apart from the intensification of social contradictions in China, the theoretical impasse confronting many Chinese citizens has led to a revival of Mao worship. In June 2007, a "red sect" with Mao at its core began to make its presence known on the Internet. At the end of 2008, Wuyou Zhixiang began preparations for a series of ceremonies dedicated to Mao, which were formally announced early this year. On December 26, a Maoist Communist Party was established on the anniversary of Mao's death. |

| 【Around The World】 Two Telling Details from the Obama Inauguration |
Liang Wendao |
| We have to understand that for members of Congress and former Presidents alike, the veneration of the American political elite is not aimed only at Obama personally, but at the Presidency, the executive leader chosen by the people through election. Put more precisely, they are presented not only with a specific individual, but with a system, an abstract position created by the people. |
