[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Dr. Lin Yimin, chairman of the Fuhe Association, pointed out that the fire in Urumqi, China killed ten people and triggered protests and anger from the people of the whole of China. This may evolve into a modern version of the "Road Protection Movement".

Lin Yimin believes that under the totalitarian rule of the Communist Party, China has a high degree of control over news. In the past, there were quite a few tens of thousands of protests and even riots in various parts of China, but the outside world can only hear rumors. Only Hong Kong, as a window to the outside world, can fight for The world knows.

Today, Urumqi is a fierce fire, but it has ignited protests all over China, and the news blockade has failed, and the news of the protests continues to "over the wall".

Coincidentally, Iran, another authoritarian totalitarian country and an ally of China, is also undergoing nationwide protests.

The tipping point of the Chinese protests was Urumqi, which was originally a remote area that was not taken seriously; the tipping point of the Iranian protests was a Kurdish woman, who was originally a suppressed minority in Iran, but they all aroused the same hatred across the country, no? Because the tipping point itself is valued by people, and it is all because the people's tolerance for tyranny has reached its limit.

Lin Yimin said that during the Chinese protests, the Chinese people shouted out the famous saying of Patrick Henry, one of the founding fathers of the American independence movement, "give me freedom or give me death!" But in fact, the situation of the Chinese people is far worse than not being free. The fire in the building in Urumqi alarmed the Chinese people because of their insistence on sealing the airspace. Opposing the totalitarian government is certainly a dead end, but sitting at home is the same as being burned to death. Since it is dead anyway, it is better to stand up and die than to die on your knees. .

The greatest ability of the totalitarian government to intimidate the people is to take lives, but when the people are worse than death, and they are dead anyway, then the control of totalitarianism will be invalid. Fear it to death.” Most Taiwanese are watching China’s nationwide protests from the sidelines. However, Taiwan and the world have received so much news about the protests, which reflects an extraordinary situation, showing that China’s high-handed control power is on the verge of reaching a critical mass. At this point, it is likely to evolve into the modern version of the "Road Protection Movement".

He further pointed out that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the nationalization of the railway was promoted, and the Sichuan-Han Railway was short-lived. How should the equity rights be determined? There was a dispute between the government and the people. , the crowd became angry and turned into riots in various places. For this reason, the Manchu Qing dispatched new troops from Hubei to Sichuan to suppress it, leaving Wuchang empty and triggering the Wuchang Uprising.

Lin Yimin believes that Taiwan must closely observe the current situation, because this big protest may trigger the collapse of the Chinese regime again like the "Road Protection Movement". If you are lucky, it may become an opportunity for China's democratization, but if you are unfortunate, it may trigger China's civil strife and even civil war have disrupted the global supply chain, flooded tens of thousands of refugees, and even caused war spillovers.

In any case, it will have a considerable impact on Taiwan.

The enemy of the people of Taiwan is the CCP regime that bullies Taiwan, not the Chinese people who pursue democracy and freedom. Standing on the standpoint of universal values, we and other democracies around the world support the Chinese people in their struggle for human rights and democracy. At the same time, we are concerned about the situation in China It is also necessary to closely observe with allies such as the United States, Japan, India, Australia, and Britain, and take precautions. When any situation occurs, we can immediately act together with our allies and respond prudently.
