What gives this particular
headline some credence is the particular fact that the secret police
organization has been specifically neutralized ahead of the upcoming Party
summit. It is thus unimaginable that the
new leadership will ever allow those rains to be loosened again as they could
expect to be the first victims.
The other thing that gives this
credence is the remarkable ideas been expressed at the very top regarding the
future role of Christianity in China
itself. This is not obvious but it
reflects a subtle change in attitudes that is likely unstoppable.
These may be two palm trees in a
windstorm now blowing through China
as yet unseen. It is certain that the reformists
have a firm grip on control right now and they are making sure nothing tips the
cart over.
So we can be nervously optimistic
that the greatest peaceful transition in the form of governance ever made in
human history is about to happen. It is
never going to be easily topped.

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.”
