| The simplest way to understand the nature of the Chinese Communist Party is to look at the relationship between the party and the armed forces and the relationship between the party and the courts and the relationship between the party and lawmaking. | |
| So just by looking at these three aspects, it's absolutely clear that all the armed forces. | |
| are controlled, completely controlled by the party. | |
| All the courts are completely controlled by the party, and all the lawmaking agencies are completely controlled by the party, and the laws are instruments of the party. | |
| And so remember, we just talked about the United Front strategy is a huge strategy. | |
| So Mosadung used to say that we have three most important weapons. | |
| Number one is propaganda. | |
| Number two is military. | |
| Number three is United Front. | |
| So the United Front is as important as everything else. | |
| So here, United Front would cover everything, including foreign relations, including religious, including how they deal with intellectuals, how they deal with China experts, so any China expert involving China would automatically fall into their United Front strategy. | |
| So they are going to create all kinds of confusion. | |
| So this creation is on purpose. | |
| So just let you have an illusion that looks like China is free. | |
| And indeed, if we are talking about the situation twenty years ago and at that time, since I'm an economist, so many of my colleagues, including a large number of Nobel laureates, when they visited China and then when they came back to the United States, they report to everyone that China is free. | |
| So when you're not challenging the Communist Party, then sure, you can say whatever you want to say. | |
| Particularly for economists, they are not going to call for civil society, they are, they don't emphasize on civil society. | |
| Most of them even don't care so much about human rights. | |
| So if you don't talk about human rights, you don't talk about civil society, you don't talk about the CIF organization, and you don't challenge the communists, sure, then you say whatever you want to say. | |
| say whatever you want to say. | |
| However, even at that time, whoever tried to establish an independent organization with a political goal. | |
| Political goal doesn't mean you want to challenge communists for the power. | |
| The political goal could be very local. | |
| Just protecting your own property rights, you are in trouble. | |
| Whoever tried to do that, you are in trouble. | |
| But if you self-censored or you have no interest. | |
| interest on those issues, then you have a feeling that you are free. | |
| So this is the United Front is the key. |
