All right, I'm making fun at the Left with this "dissident frogman" thing, because to be on the Left in our liberal democracies, knowing what we know about the inescapable outcome of such ideologies, is like pushing dumbness up to provocation (yeah, well, I know not all of them are that dumb. Some are dangerously starving for power over the society).However, I don't forget that under Communist dictatorships (Don't you dare to repress my Right to Redundancy.) dissidents are being arrested, convicted and jailed, just for posting political information on their websites.
Huang Qi has been sentenced to five years in prison, mostly for listing on his site (http://www.6-4tianwang.com/) information on people " who had disappeared into police custody, usually for their own political or religious beliefs. ».
The Communists call that "subversion".
As if it wasn't enough, Huang Qi's wife, Zeng Li, explains in her open letter (dated July 5, 2001. Huang Qi was arrested in June 2000, charged with subversion in January 2001, tried in secret on August the same year and convicted 11 days ago. He's been in prison since his arrest.) that a government official told her once:
After your husband is sentenced, don't expect your son to go to school or to have any future.Communism and China: almost 80 years of crime, terror and oppression. And counting.
As Jean-François Revel wrote once:
The only way to improve Communism is to get rid of it.Indeed.
Chinese Communism needs some serious improvement actually.
