北约东扩是引爆乌克兰危机的罪魁 ~ 26 Feb 2022
https://news.gmw.cn/2022-02/26/content_35546740.htm

• 俄罗斯总统普京2月24日清晨发表电视讲话，宣布在顿巴斯地区发起特别军事行动，但表示并无占领乌克兰的计划。乌克兰总统泽连斯基当天晚些时候宣布，乌克兰与俄罗斯断绝外交关系。至此，俄乌刀兵相见。与二战后许多战争场景不同，此次战争在两个以斯拉夫民族为主体的国家展开。应当说，乌克兰问题有其复杂的历史经纬，局势演变至今是各种因素共同作用的结果。一些清醒的战略界人士认为，美西方延续冷战思维的北约东扩，是引爆此次乌克兰危机的罪魁祸首。

• 當冷戰結束、蘇東陣營土崩瓦解之後，作為其對立軍事聯盟的北約卻持續擴張。這一戰略究竟是對維護和平做出了貢獻，還是對和平構成了威脅，至今仍然爭論不休——而這也成為促使俄羅斯對烏克蘭採取軍事行動的主要因素之一。

But for many it also brought poverty and war. What remains of the dreams of that time?

Fact check: Do Vladimir Putin's justifications for going to war against Ukraine add up? ~ 25 Feb 2022
https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-do-vladimir-putins-justifications-for-going-to-war-against-ukraine-add-up/a-60917168

• Shortly before launching a full-scale war on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin outlined his reasons for the attack. Russia, he said, must "defend itself" and "denazify" Ukraine. Much of this is false.
• Putin's statement is a propaganda narrative that lacks any basis. Putin uses the term denazification, which refers to the Allies' policy for Nazi Germany after World War II. They wanted to rid the country of Nazi influences and remove incriminated individuals from their posts.
• However, the comparison with Ukraine is wrong, Andreas Umland, an analyst at the Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS), told DW: "This talk of Nazism in Ukraine is completely out of place," he said. "The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is a Russian-speaking Jew who won the last presidential election by a huge margin against a non-Jewish Ukrainian candidate."

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10546575/Why-Putin-invaded-Ukraine-Despotic-leader-dreams-recreating-Soviet-Union.html

• How 'despot' with dreams of recreating the Soviet Union spun a false narrative he was 'ridding Ukraine of neo-Nazis' to start his long-planned war... that the West has been 'ignoring' for years.
• Putin has previously said that the fall of the USSR robbed Russia of its place among the world's great powers and put it at the mercy of the West.
• The attack has come to Ukraine on all fronts, with bombs and missiles striking targets across the country, ground forces rolling in from Belarus, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk, and paratroopers dropping on Kharkiv.

https://www.npr.org/2022/02/07/1078929982/a-look-at-the-debate-over-nato-expansion-eastward-thats-at-the-heart-of-conflict

• Whether NATO should expand to include countries once under Soviet influence — including Ukraine — is a question that has dogged U.S. and Russian officials for 30 years.
• There's a grievance at the heart of the standoff between NATO countries and Russia over Ukraine. Russians say the U.S. and its NATO allies broke a key pledge. They claim the West promised Russia in the 1990s that NATO would move not one inch to the east「北約不東擴一英寸」.
• Putin recently said, you cheated us shamelessly. The U.S. and NATO say that's nonsense and they've always had an open-door membership policy.

Vladimir Putin: The rebuilding of ‘Soviet’ Russia ~ 28 Mar 2014
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26769481

• The world was stunned when Russia invaded Crimea, but should it have been? Author and journalist Oliver Bullough says President Vladimir Putin never kept secret his intention to restore Russian power - what's less clear, he says, is how long the country's rise can continue.
• Russia has been a great power for centuries, and remains so. It has always had and still has legitimate zones of interest ... We should not drop our guard in this respect, neither should we allow our opinion to be ignored," he said.
• His domestic policy was to restore stability, to end what he called the "revolutions", that had brought Russia low. His foreign policy was to regain Russia's place in world affairs.
• Those two core aims have driven everything he has done since. If only people had been listening, none of his actions would have come as a surprise to them.
• Since then, he has seized every opportunity history has offered him, from the attacks of 11 September 2001 to the Ukrainian Revolution of 2013, in his bid to secure his aims. He has been tactically astute and ruthlessly opportunistic. At home and abroad, he wants Russia to regain the prestige it held when he was growing up.

• 東航墜機事件牽動人心，這個事情對我們有什麼警示的作用呢？現在中國的內外部環境是，外部政治壓力越來越大，內部則是經濟發展停滯。
• 這種環境，只能是倒過來逼迫大型國企變本加厲的加強黨文化的建設，造成管理僵化，增加風險的可能，並且大型國企會把為數不多的優質資源牢牢抓在手裏，地方運營企業的問題以後會更多。

Jim Bianco: Recession or inflation - Which will the Fed choose? ~ 25 Mar 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSfKreBuH38

• These days, the Federal Reserve is walking a knife's edge. High inflation is forcing its hand, and to tame it, the Fed has returned to Quantitative Tightening, hiking rates by 0.25% and promising 6-7 more hikes within this year.
• But if the Fed hikes too much too fast, it risks driving the economy -- which has been slowing dramatically recently -- into recession.
• A painful recession or persisting inflation. The Fed may very likely be forced to permit one in order to contain the other. If indeed faced with that choice, which one will Jerome Powell pick?

All that's stopping a full-blown food crisis? Rice ~ 25 Mar 2022
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/foreign-trade/all-thats-stopping-a-full-blown-food-crisis-rice/articleshow/90430870.cms

• Rice matters because it’s the staple diet for half the world’s population, including about a billion undernourished people living in Asia and West Africa.
• The worst food riots during the 2007-08 crisis weren’t about the price of bread, but the cost of a bowl of rice. Right now, rice is all that’s standing between us and a full-blown food crisis.
• The world is once again facing a critical juncture in food prices. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has upended one of the world’s most important breadbaskets, pushing the cost of wheat to an all-time high. Vegetable oil and corn prices are also surging. Food-importing nations are understandably worried.
• Thankfully, there’s enough rice this time around for prices to remain subdued.

Stagflation nightmare — Will prices keep rising even as a European war puts damper on economy? ~ 19 Mar 2022
https://www.todayonline.com/big-read/big-read-stagflation-nightmare-will-prices-keep-rising-even-european-war-puts-damper-economy-1849221

• By threatening the supply of key commodities, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine all but guarantees that over the next few months there will be a significant pickup in U.S. inflation from its already high level. International oil prices have already climbed to a seven-year high of some US$110 a barrel. That alone could add something like 1.5 percentage points to U.S. inflation. At the same time, grain prices are now skyrocketing on the fear that Russian and Ukrainian wheat exports will be disrupted, while doubts have surfaced about the continued supply of a number of key metals of which Russia is a dominant producer.
• With inflation likely to be boosted by the Russian oil-price shock to more than three times the Fed’s inflation target, the Fed would seem to have little alternative but to raise interest rates to prevent inflation expectations from becoming unanchored.
• Should the Russian crisis together with higher interest rates be the trigger that causes the U.S. asset-price and credit-market bubble to burst, the U.S. economy could have a hard economic landing. If that proves to be the case, Biden will have to explain not only why inflation spiked under his watch but also why the economy relapsed into recession.

• Russian consumer sentiment has fallen sharply in recent days in the wake of increasingly punitive economic sanctions and a more protracted war in Ukraine.
• Severe sanctions have resulted in a balance of payments crisis and a sell-off of the ruble, leading Moscow to impose capital controls and many Russians to line up at ATMs to withdraw cash.
• While the ultimate impact of the Ukraine invasion on the Russian economy remains highly uncertain, average Russian consumers are already feeling considerable pain.

关于东航没有正面回答MU5375维修记录问题大家怎么看 ~ 23 Mar 2022
https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/485940106

• 官方在新闻发布会上答非所问，有点避开了国外新闻记者的提问。据我了解到，此次事发的飞机型号737NG存在pickle forks出现裂纹全球1000架有百分之五有这个问题，波音公司在美国设立了维修点，但是东航没有把飞机送去修，送过去需要排队长达六个月。东航他们自己设立了维修工程师，说得到了美国波音公司的批复，这个批复也不是得到了授权，但是东航自己就开展了维修工作。
• 当时维修波音737NG这个记录，他们还给自己拍了一个短片，短片中可以看到东航连钻孔的工具都不完整。需要逐级扩孔绞孔，如有专业的工具就可以一步到位。不知道此次坠机事故是否跟这有关联？以上是我个人了解到的看法。希望大家也不要带节奏等官方通报为准！

• 海因里希法则（Heinrich's Law）又称 “海因里希安全法则”、“海因里希事故法则” 或 “海因法则”，是美国著名安全工程师海因里希（Herbert William Heinrich）提出的300∶29∶1法则。这个法则意为：在机械生产过程中，每发生330起意外事件，有300件未产生人员伤害，29件造成人员轻伤，1件导致重伤或死亡。海因里希法则是美国人海因里希通过分析工伤事故的发生概率，为保险公司的经营提出的法则。这一法则完全可以用于企业的安全管理上，即在一件重大的事故背后必有29件轻度的事故，还有300件潜在的隐患。
• The 300:29:1 theory was created by American engineer William Heinrich to demonstrate the relationship between unsafe behavior patterns, like backing without looking, and accidents. The 300:29:1 theory states that for every 300 unsafe behaviors performed, there are 29 minor accidents and 1 serious accident.

• 我們知道，世界第二大經濟體出現的主要原因是中國用廉價的勞力、廉價的水、廉價的空氣、廉價的資源以及廉價的土地改造作為生產基地的條件，世界各處的生產業都跑到中國去了，中國就佔了這份的利益。這個利益得來不易，犧牲也很大，將來我們需要支付。今天得來的利息要付出去，得來大的獲益要在將來一併分出去，比如自然生態，比如土地不夠用。所以大家要謹慎，我希望中國保持戰戰兢兢，保持繼續成長的動力，我們還有許多路要走。

China’s dangerous game around Covid-19 vaccines ~ 4 Mar 2021
https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/04/chinas-dangerous-game-around-covid-19-vaccines

• As wealthy nations have reserved most of the Western-developed vaccine doses expected to be produced this year, China has offered to fill the demand from developing countries desperate to halt the pandemic. Two major biotech companies, the state-owned Sinopharm and privately owned Sinovac, have sold abroad or received international orders for more than 800 million doses.
• At the same time that President Xi Jinping urged nations to “come together against global challenges” and “international cooperation on Covid vaccines,” however, Beijing has mounted an aggressive disinformation campaign inside and outside of the country to sow doubt about Western-made coronavirus vaccines.
• A new report by the social media research firm Graphika also uncovered a massive, clandestine, and increasingly sophisticated pro-Beijing digital disinformation network that has been spreading vaccine propaganda on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. While it is difficult to attribute the network to a particular government since the platforms allow a degree of anonymity, the campaign’s timing and messaging have been closely aligned with that of Chinese state media.
• Beijing is playing a dangerous game. To scare people off from taking vaccines – by not disclosing data on the safety of its new vaccines and discrediting others’ vaccines – is only going to prolong the pandemic. This is something that no one, least of all Chinese authorities, should want.

Covid: How Hong Kong's deadly outbreak was avoidable ~ 30 Mar 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu-8fc_4IJY

• Hong Kong’s situation is the product of several specific policy failures, which stem partly from Beijing’s decision to take greater control of the financial hub after 2019’s pro-democracy protests. Above all, the city’s government utterly failed at vaccinating older adults, botching public-education campaigns and allowing misinformation about the shots to run rampant among those residents. Hong Kong is still reporting hundreds of Covid deaths each day, overwhelmingly among unvaccinated older people.
• It remains unclear, however, how Hong Kong can move toward substantially looser policies without a similar shift occurring on the mainland.

• 《来生不做中国人》是一本由作家钟祖康所著的书。因为内容被中国当局形容为 “意识不良”，故此书在中国列为禁书，中国市民也只能够阅读序言的部份，但已经引来热烈的讨论。
• 书本现在已被译成多种语言版本在不同地区发售。书名的起源是一个在2006年9月4日相关的网上调查。网易文化发起了一个调查，题目为 “如果有来生，你愿不愿意再做中国人？”。
• 在十二天期间，有65%的人表示说不愿意再成为中国人。这个调查启发了作者采用了《来生不做中国人》作书名，调查后来也被中国政府删掉。
• 该书的内容主要是收录作者在这么多年在《开放杂志》里面发表的文章，出版的方式跟作家柏杨的著作《丑陋的中国人》有点像。其内容是围绕着反思中国人在笔者眼中现在的“失误”、抨击中国文化和北欧的优胜之处从而跟中国比较。书本收录了以下的文章（见表一）。

• 冯崇义认为，中国之所以坚持这种灾难性的防疫政策，主要是因为这个政策是来自 “定于一尊、一锤定音” 的中共领袖习近平，而习近平坚持这种破产的政策并非是因为不了解实情。
• 他说：“即使是毛泽东当年在1959年开庐山会议的时候各方面的信息，包括他派遣他自己的警卫下去收集的信息都足够充足，他不是不知情。他是知情的，现在习近平有更多信息收集渠道，可以知道清零政策执行的实况，包括经济危机、人道灾难。但他为什么还要这样做？我刚才已经讲了，这是他的政治逻辑使然。”
• 在冯崇义看来，习近平从中共前独裁者毛泽东那里继承下来的政治逻辑是：“我们要知道这个专制政权它最关注的是政权危机，不是经济危机、社会危机。如果他的评估是这些经济危机、社会危机不会引发政权危机，他是很冷血的。就象当年的大跃进、大饥荒死了那么多人，毛还是一意孤行，把本来是要反左倾庐山会议开成了反右倾的会议，继续变本加厉地饿死更多人。” 据信有几千万人死于以毛泽东为首的中共当局1950年代末和1960年代初制造的大饥荒。
• 在批评人士批评以习近平为首的中共当局把防疫这样的科学问题当作政治和意识形态问题来处理，以政治压倒科学、压倒民生和经济之际，中国官方媒体的宣传似乎在应和批评者的这种批评。

China has the most democratic government in the world

By Tan Kin Lian
December 7th, 2021

I consider the People’s Republic of China to be the most democratic government in the world.

First, we have to understand what is a democratic government. It is a government “by the people, for the people”.

The government must be freely elected by the people and must work for the well being of the people. I consider this to be the true test of democracy.

Most western countries did not produce this outcome. Their system benefits the wealthy elite, and the ordinary people suffer a drop in their living standards. This has happened in recent decades.

These countries allows the people to change the government more regularly, but the frequent changes do not produce the structural changes that improves the lives of the people.

In contrast, the PRC government was able to bring over 400 million people out of poverty and improve the living standards for the people at large.

Let me elaborate on the following important features of the PRC system of government.

1. The people vote freely and democratically to elect their deputy in the local people’s congress. The elected deputies vote for their leaders at the higher levels, i.e. the provincial and the national government. China adopts this multi tier system because it has a large population.

2. Their national policies goes through consultations at various stages. They get the experts and academics to study the issue and present their recommendations. These are evaluated by their policy making committee and a draft law is presented. Feedback is obtained on these laws from the relevant people and are further discussed. The final draft law is presented to the National People’s Congress for adoption. When it reached this level, the draft had already been actively discussed and agreed at the lower levels.

3. Any citizens that is unjustly affected by the actions of the authority can submit their grievance to a proper channel. The grievance will be addressed at the local level. If it cannot be resolved, and the issue affects many people, it will be taken up at the higher level. This system worked quite well and produced a satisfactory outcome.

In international surveys of trust in government, the PRC government obtained the approval of over 90% of the people. This is the highest approval rating of any government in the world.

I consider the PRC government to be the most democratic in the world as it is freely elected by the people and receives the highest approval rating of the people.

• Foreign investors reduced their holdings of Chinese bonds by more than USD 15 billion in March, a record high and the largest withdrawal from China in a single month. It was the second month in a row that foreign investors sold Chinese bonds. Massive outflows from China will continue in April, based on data collected by market research, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday (8 Apr).
• According to the report, analysts believe that possible factors for investors to sell include concerns about the geopolitical risks of investing in China, broader economic uncertainty, and China’s market yield advantage over the US bonds is waning. International investors also pulled more than US$7 billion from onshore Chinese equities through the Hong Kong market in March.

Russia-China trade stifled by yuan's surge against ruble ~ 3 Mar 2022
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/russiachina-trade-stifled-yuans-surge-against-ruble

• The yuan hit a record high against the ruble this week -- surging by as much as 25% on Tuesday (Mar 2) alone -- as sanctions were levied against the Russian central bank. Some Chinese banks have suspended trading of the currency pair, with signs of distress showing up in the widest ever bid-ask spread.
• The sudden spike, and how it has put off currency trades, raises questions over the strategic relationship between both countries as Russia’s ties with global markets get cut off one by one. Total bilateral trade between the two countries was valued at US$112 billion in 2020.
• The PBOC also has a multi-billion dollar currency swap (¥150 billion vs $1,750 billion in ruble) with Russia’s central bank, allowing the two nations to provide liquidity to businesses to continue trading.
• The PBOC could offer a swap or exchange dollar reserves for Russia’s gold reserve, according to Capital Economics, though any dollar assets newly acquired by Russia’s central bank would still be sanctioned.

陈丹青: 母语与母国 (新加坡南洋理工大学无界限讲堂2014年3月16日）
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH0uDuZniCc

• 母语与母国，这个题目在南洋理工大学是很具有敏感性的。南洋理工大学的前身是1955年建立的（私立）南洋大学，曾经是全球唯一的一所海外华文大学。在1980年被李光耀关闭，并入了国立新加坡大学，变为国立新加坡大学南洋理工学院，并且终结了华文教学，而使用英文教学，直到1991年才重组为新加坡南洋理工大学。
• 因此，南洋理工大学是李光耀先生压制华语的历史标记之一，成为了李光耀先生在新加坡华人心中的污点之一。李光耀先生逝世于2015年03月23日，该系列讲座在2014年举行，李仍在世。这显示了新加坡虽然是威权国家，但仍具有一定的开放性。
• 南洋大学及其所代表是迁民社会在本地的华文教育与中华文化的传承。在新加坡建国和国家建构过程中，由于英文教育成为国家主流教育，新加坡塑造超越族群的国家文化，迁民文化需面对双重效忠的矛盾。一方面，他们必须效忠国家及其文化，另一边厢效忠自己的母族文化。
• 南大正是在这样的族群文化的冲击中，建立起自身的价值观和特征。南洋大学的演变折射出了迁民社会如在新加坡从早期的数量优势、政治弱势，到争取地位、维护利益，在到屈服于强势主流中，被迫淡化族群文化特征，乃至最后在国家化的作用下，完成对国家文化的集体效忠。

The Great Sparrow Campaign was the start of the Greatest Mass Starvation in History ~ July 30, 2019
https://www.treehugger.com/the-great-sparrow-campaign-was-the-start-of-the-greatest-mass-4864032

• History is littered with environmental disasters, but few compare to the one kicked off in 1958 in China. That was the year Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China, decided that his country could do without pests like sparrows. The impact of this ill-conceived decision — along with many other policies he put in place — caused a domino effect of destruction. Three years later, as many as 45 million people were dead.
• How did this happen? It all started nine years after the Communist Party of China took power. That year Zedong initiated what he dubbed the Great Leap Forward, a massive social and economic campaign that, among many other things, turned farming into a collective, state-sponsored activity. Individual, private farming was banned as part of China's transformation into a communist system.
• During the Great Sparrow Campaign, as it has been called, hundreds of millions of sparrows were killed, mostly because people chased them until the birds were so tired that they fell out of the sky.

除四害 打麻雀|中共建政後最荒唐的一場群眾運動， 美好的 “願望” 總是帶來民族災難 (历史上的中共全民打麻雀运动)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgtwyAq4krc

• 1958年元月，中共開始了 “趕英超美” 的 “大躍進” 運動。2月，公開發出了 “除四害” 的指示。於是，“除四害” 這場所謂的 “人民戰爭”，在中國轟轟烈烈開展起來。成了大躍進運動的第一場群眾運動。60年代初的大饑荒終於發生，1994年2月出版的《中華人民共和國歷史紀實》一書〝大饑荒〞一文中說，“1959年至1961年的非正常死亡和減少出生人口數，大約在4,000萬人左右。……中國人口減少4,000萬，這可能是二十世紀內世界最大的飢荒。〞而更為殘酷真實的數據，已經被周恩來下令徹底銷毀。

Lockdowns expose China’s dysfunctional trucking industry ~ 20 Apr 2022
https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/20/china-shanghai-covid-lockdown-trucking-food/

• In China, 76% of freight travels by road, but the industry is fragmented. Almost all Chinese truckers are owner-operators: Around 90%t own their own vehicles. (In the United States, that figure is about 9%.) Moreover, major vendors in China don’t have their own fleets; instead, even major supermarkets move their goods on a contract basis with independent truckers.
• China’s 28 million truckers have fallen down the status ladder in the last few decades. Today, average gross income for truckers is around $20,000 a year—nearly twice the national average, making them relatively highly compensated. However, they are also subject to arbitrary and uncertain costs; as independent operators, they have no safety cushion. Many truckers are still paying off significant loans on their vehicles.
• Vehicle upgrades are often out of financial reach, so China’s trucks are largely unrefrigerated, causing problems for the cold storage chain. The rate of damage to fresh cargo is estimated at 20% to 30%, much higher than in developed countries, which has fostered food safety concerns among the public. The cold chain issues have worsened food shortages, with drivers often forced to dump unrefrigerated goods if they are delayed.

• 这两年，EP和SP的标准不断被提高，现在还有可能要面临更多竞争，如果无法在短时间内拿到PR，那么未来是否能够留在新加坡，都要打上一个问号。
• 不仅如此，被身份牢牢约束的外国人们，享受不了PR和公民的福利，想回国又担心受到工作的牵制，就像一朵飘零的浮萍。

• 因此，美国把中俄同盟重新定位为「邪恶轴心」。就是比二次大战时的轴心国那样的侵略者还要邪恶的国家。
• 而美国在完成这个定位后，接下来，一旦送交白宫完成签署之后，将来就是美国正式跟中俄这个同盟直接对抗。

• 中共国家主席习近平与俄罗斯总统普京2022年2月4日在北京举行会面。

• 2017年，日本尼康关闭了无锡中国生产子公司；2019年，三星关闭了中国惠州最后一家手机工厂，富士康也先后在美国和印度建厂，目前，苹果的6条生产线已经迁往印度。三星在苏州的最后一家工厂也已经停产，这也意味着三星彻底告别了中国市场，然而，其在越南的投资已超过170亿元人民币。
• 其实，制造业从中国转移到东南亚从很久以前就开始了，自2004年以来，受中国产业工人平均工资大幅上涨的影响，制鞋企业、玩具制造商和服装制造商开始陆续转移出中国。据巴克莱银行的数据，2015年，中国制造业的平均时薪为4.12美元，印度为1.59美元。因此，劳动密集型的低端制造业逐渐向东南亚国家转移。

• The protest, unusual for China, followed a freeze in online and mobile cash withdrawal services by four banks in Henan.

• Consumers should choose official channels for financial business and beware of false propaganda such as “high interest” and “high yield,” the regulator said.

六四33周年 天安门母亲：继续追究屠城责任 ~ 2 Jun 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NppNkR51gSw
https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/6/2/n13750546.htm

• 据 “天安门母亲” 祭文回忆说，1989年6月3日晚10点左右，戒严部队以黑夜为掩护、以坦克和装甲车开路从各个方向开赴天安门广场，沿途一路开枪扫射、追杀，所经之处，学生与市民伤亡惨重。然而当学生于4日凌晨列队撤离天安门广场走到西单六部口时，又遭军队使用麻痹神经的有毒催泪弹袭击，致使在场的学生和市民呼吸困难，倒在地上无法自由行动。然后，一排坦克从倒地人群中碾压过去，当场十多名学生丧生或者碾成重伤。祭文表示，到目前他们已经找到203位遇难者，其中年龄最小的9岁，最大的66岁。
• 祭文强调，当年有百万学生、民众参加的游行、请愿和抗议活动，是中国公民依照宪法和法律所赋予的权利，并自始至终坚持了和平、理性、非暴力的原则。学生与民众的诉求也只是反腐败、反官倒，要求言论自由、公布官员财产，建立监督政府官员执政是否廉洁的机制，这些诉求完全没有脱离宪法的框架。但执政党和政府却完全无视民众的合理要求，利用公权，野蛮、残暴地用子弹、坦克碾压屠杀本国的国民。
