摘要(外文): | Dr. Sun Yat-Sen predicted, as early as a hundred years ago, that China would become the most populous nation in the world. However, he also said the government of most developed countries with civil rights is impotent. In less developed countries without civil rights, the government is more capable. The Communist Party-ruled China seems to be just the case. During Chairman Mao Zedong's administration from 1949 to 1976, people were fully under the autocratic rule of the Chinese Communist Party and had no ownership rights. During the cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976, China was a country in absolute despotism and under totalitarian rule. Before Communist rule, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen had already proposed for democratic reform from the bottom up. He stated that the unit for civil rights should be counties. Civil rights from 3,000 counties are akin to laying a foundation of 3,000 stones, and a solid basis of local self-government will be built. Dr. Sun Yat-sen said: let local people handle local affairs autonomously, and a republic nation will form naturally. In the Wucan village of Guangdong province, the villagers Committee election was held on March 3, 2012. The candidate list was no longer supplied by the higher authorities in the Chinese communist party; rather, candidates were selected by the villagers based on ability. Since this marks the first time an election is conducted autonomously by the people in the People's Republic of China, this event has attracted global attention. Whether the success from this democratic movement can spread outward and upward to make China a genuine People's Republic is the focus point of the world. |
