Can Olympic boycott rescue the overseas pro-democracy movement?
The overseas pro-democracy movement on the political qualifications are very some of the resources,For example June 4, for example were imprisoned. These past, once abundant, it seems that can always be used by children and grandchildren. However, this is not the case.
In China,the memories on Wei Jingsheng, on June 4 are beginning to indifferent to the aged people, And to those who were born after 80’s,they almost know nothing about that . As for what the overseas pro-democracy movement have done in recent years, in addition to still remain in the domestic dissidents and some well-informed sources, the general public are very few people know. This is the misery of overseas pro-democracy movement.
On the other side, Tibet independence is increasing its momentum and energy, looting all the overseas pro-democracy movement of the limelight, the original” Elder brother” today almost only ran to accompany, this made the elite shortness of breath. And the struggle for power between the elite increase the internal friction. At present the most important thing is how to make new contributions and revive the glory . But this is not an easy task, no less than Shudao difficult.
An organization or a group of people, always want to prove their worth with their words and deeds. Tibet independence organization created various incidents, all with this type. At this point the overseas pro-democracy organizations, of course, have to seize this straw to make new contributions ,to make their own voice, otherwise, the momentum has been sluggish even afraid to being on the decline.
The elite have already set some good action plans, only wait to be implemented, such as forced entry the custom. It is said that Pan Qing, Wang Dan and his ilk are choosing the right time,want to forced through the customs, under the banner of "I want to go home" , to creat momentum for the boycott of the Olympic Games. As we all know, to the elite, they have been on exile for a long time , re-set foot on the homeland, it is said that their personal safety will be official threatened. This point, the elite as if are some fears, usually absolutely will not brave to do so.And now, Beijing has focused the world's media attention, the matter of reducing risk factors, so they want to try. For example, with a few reporters accompanying, forced entry the custom,once the Chinese government make any reactions,the world will know it, they can win the sympathy and tears. With the international media's potential to achieve its own aims, this is the tactic usually used by overseas pro-democracy movement, that is the pressure.
The Olympics is a sporting event, which is not only a matter of China, but also all countries in the world too. It is true that 08 Olympic Games held in Beijing,the government is the sworn enemy of the pro-democracy movement elite, but the Beijing Olympics is all the Chinese people's great achievements. Boycott the Olympic Games, in fact, would go against all the Chinese people.
After torch relay blocked in Paris and CNN incident, the overseas Chinese set off an upsurge of patriotism .we would like to know there will be more difficult for the overseas pro-democracy movement to make trubble with the Olympic Games. Chinese people usually may be tray of loose sand, but once facing the national interests and national self-esteem humiliated, the Chinese people will have a surprising solidarity and cohesion, and it is the reason why the Chinese nation for thousands of years of going.
At this point ,in the face of China, in the face of the Chinese people at this time, any obstruction and destruction of the words and deeds with the Olympic Games will undoubtedly have a huge risk. If the Pro-democracy elite take the wrong steps, the loss will not only be the already limited desire of the people, they will become the public enemy.
The pressure from the proprietors and overseas media anti-China made the overseas pro-democracy movement have to choose again, after all, their lifeline is in the hands of the proprietors and the media. If no action ,the proprietors will look ugly, public opinion will criticize, the overseas pro-democracy movement almost on their last legs, this time will be worse. Lost the support and concern of the overseas media and proprietors, the pro-democracy movement will really come to an end.
This is the dilemma. Forward, is difficult; retreat, difficult too. Overseas pro-democracy movement intent to make new contributions to use the Beijing Olympics, it is very difficult. That Signboard "anti-communist patriotic" at this moment can not save the pro-democracy movement elite, instead they have become a heavy burden, therefore, either to defiance of world opinion to take risks, or to accept the current silence of this embarrassing situation. Of course, if they waved their hands with foreign passports, do not take themselves as Chinese, it’another matter. However, the Chinese people never allow the outsiders to find fault with our own things .If the elite really make themselves as foreign citizens then their so-called overseas pro-democracy movement will become the world laughingstock .After all, they are not Sun Yat-sen.
