Q: Where did you sign Charter 08? A: On the Utopianet website Q: Why didn't I see it there? A: It was removed by the authorities Q: Do you know who the author of Charter 08 is? A: Utopianet says that it is Wang Huning (secretary of central secretariat of the Communist Party of China, and the director of its Policy Research Office). Q: Do you agree with everything in Charter 08? A: At least 70-80 percent Q: What don't you agree with? A: Charter 08 calls for amending China's Constitution, but I think that real, substantive change requires the drafting of a new constitution. Q: Some say that Charter 08 calls for amending the constitution, but in reality seeks to draft a new constitution. What else do you disagree with? A: Charter 08 talks about creating a national social security system, but I am a libertarian and do not favor a welfare system. But I more or less agree with the rest of the content. Q: Li Xiaobo has been arrested over his Charter 08 participation, what is your view on this? A: He is courageous, sincere, and perseveres in the face of great obstacles. Hu Jintao has said that he does not want to create martyrs, but this action turns Liu Xiaobo into a symbolic civil rights champion. Q: I've heard that you visited Liu Xiaobo's wife Liu Xia. A: I have visited her twice. Q: I express my respect for you. A: That is not necessary. Q: What influence do you think Charter 08 has had on society? A: The influence is significant. I have heard of at least two couples who have split over their divergent views toward Charter 08 and willingness to sign the petition. Q: What does this signify? A: That Charter 08 is not just some peripheral phenomenon. © Copyright 2008 by Boxun News Top of Page |
