从中国到海外，我亲眼见证并参与了国际社会与海外民运对中共的施压，但收效甚微。我深信，中共最恐惧的，是国内民众的觉醒与抗争——这也是终结其独裁统治最有力的手段。
疫情期间的白纸运动便是明证。在那场漫长而严苛的封控中，无人知晓何时是尽头。然而，一个偶然的契机点燃了民众积压已久的愤怒，他们走上街头，抗议封控，呼吁解封。仅仅几天后，全国封控骤然解除。从随后的医院挤兑、药品短缺表明，中共当时毫无解封准备，但还是迫于政权稳定还是解封了。
真正推动变革的，是民众的抗争之力。
因此，身处海外、期盼中国自由民主的我们，应致力于启发国内民众。传递中共的历史真相，唤醒公民权利意识，激发对自由民主的追求。我们需尝试有效的信息传递方式——或隐晦的、或绕过审查的，或借助技术手段的。
被启蒙后的国内民众就会觉醒，这股力量暗流涌动，一旦历史契机到来，中共的独裁统治或将轰然崩塌。
What the CCP Fears Most Is the Awakening and Resistance of Its Own People

From China to overseas, I have personally witnessed and participated in efforts by the international community and overseas pro-democracy movements to pressure the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Yet, the results have been minimal. I firmly believe that what the CCP fears most is not international condemnation, but the awakening and resistance of its own people—this is the most powerful force capable of ending its authoritarian rule.
The White Paper Movement during the COVID-19 lockdowns serves as clear evidence. During those long and harsh lockdowns, no one knew when it would end. Yet a single incident ignited the long-suppressed anger of the people. They took to the streets to protest the lockdowns and demand reopening. Just a few days later, the nationwide lockdowns were abruptly lifted. The ensuing overcrowded hospitals and medicine shortages revealed that the CCP had made no preparations for reopening—it acted not out of public health planning, but out of fear for its own political stability.
It was the people’s resistance that forced change.
Therefore, those of us overseas who long for freedom and democracy in China must focus our efforts on awakening the people inside the country. We must spread the truth about the CCP’s history, raise awareness of civil rights, and inspire the desire for freedom and democracy. We should explore effective means of information dissemination—whether indirect, evasive of censorship, or aided by technology.
Once the people are enlightened, they will awaken. That awakening is an undercurrent of immense power. When the right historical moment arrives, it may well bring about the sudden collapse of the CCP’s authoritarian regime.
