CHINA: Entschieden gegen die Diktatur – "Chinesen haben erkannt, in welcher Lage sie sich befinden"

In China, protests resumed, the situation worsened in the megacity of Guangjou. Protesters broke barriers and used objects to break barriers. Security forces in white suits roamed the streets with information and protective shields. They tried to control the situation and used Protesters detained in several Chinese cities are reportedly currently protesting against strict coronavirus regulations. Now I would like to talk about the situation in China with Professor Alexander Gerlach, a China expert and political scientist at New York University. Good morning teacher, hello. They are visiting my parents in Worms on the Rhine and are back in Germany, but of course they are still closely watching the situation in China.

How do you evaluate the current situation? How dangerous? Can he really lead, that is, the protests that are now breaking out? They are, so to speak, the tip of the spear, but since May there have been around 735 protests of this type, the non-governmental organization has counted them and the economist has evaluated them. which means that people have been on the edge of their seat for quite some time, and not only because of the coronavirus measure, there were other crises as well, there was no more money in the ATMs, then there was a real estate bubble that has room, that It means people are now fed up and fed up, sorry and it's not like that in China.

As we know, one is simply allowed to stand in the street with white pieces of paper and protest, which means that something is being unleashed here that I have accumulated over months, if you will, in these two more than two years of lockdowns and it is the largest democratic movement of the people who have been asking for freedom and democracy since 1989, of course, we all remember the photos from the tieramentplatz. when the regime brutally repressed these uprisings, because there is a danger that this democratic movement could become so strong that it could become even bigger and that it could lead to changes in the wrong policy, so absurd, that the opposite is the opposite.

In this case, we still keep in mind that from Hong Kong, there were up to 2 million people on the streets, it became 7 million. In terms of numbers, the population proportions are now very different from those of China, which was brutally defeated. It must be said that the Corona virus was useful for the leaders because then they could officially ban any gatherings, so to speak, but I think so, if now you have the choice between excessive changes and too much politics or we build boys' clubs. and the girls will then have the second. We are already seeing the second variant in China, but the people who later leave quarantine do.

The same people in white protective suits were also beaten directly on the street, which means that this is "The red march that Beijing uses. Security circles have already said that these protests, which are, so to speak, controlled from the foreigner, they must be put down. There was a protester there in Beijing and he quoted and said and acted on what he said you are not allowed to watch foreign media, we cannot travel abroad, where is the foreign country supposed to instigate us here? China It's already actually a dictatorship if you look at all of this and what you're doing has also described this gigantic security apparatus and the brutal suppression of any uprising, yes, I think that's certainly the case, so there's no first country, so it has very few democratic elements, so the surveillance state, the facial recognition with which, by the way, it has already been demonstrated, of course, that it is not really a dictatorship and has all the business, so to speak, tailored to him with him at the center and as leader of the movement, which of course you can clearly see fascist features in this dictatorship, but that is now Maybe it is more because of the catheter and the university and this definition Definition you see that people in China don't like ne products for millions Shanghai has 26 million inhabitants who then were locked up overnight and that's it, now all the Chinese women have it and the Chinese have recognized what they are in, what situation they are in and that is why this protest movement will not diminish for the moment, they see that it will and in terms of numbers Markus is still not that strong. like the one that the protesters chanted, give me freedom or bring me death, no, there is already a certain determination in the place and, of course, what results from this hopelessness after three years of confinements and with no end in sight, until to what extent foreign countries could do so.

Are these people also supportive or is it really useless because China has now closed itself to such an extent that no contact can be established or it is very difficult to establish contact through detours? Well, you just have to decide Do that. We have seen it now. Things that Iran has as Foreign Minister at the UN, so to speak, becomes the voice of this movement, along with others with other countries, then pushes for a resolution and you just have to do it. as a federal government or is it addressed above all to the SPD, if the Greens and the FDP are united there and are clearly in favor of human rights and civil rights.

It just has to be said that with China we have to take different paths and, for example, it was completely out of place for Ping to be elected president for the third time in October, to proclaim and then read to ennoble the Chancellor by selling our security architecture and visiting the Chancellor , well that means the federal government has to be clear about the responsibility it is for the Chinese but also for the entire region Taiwan is just one example and imagine how big it would be if it were successful, sometimes just the moral support It is enough to ensure that China becomes an open country, that China becomes a democracy, that people are free and able to live in peace would be a great advance and with a China like that the whole world could live in a completely different way and That is why that has to be our long-term objective and not the short-term medium term.
