With China being a one-party state – with no opposition party being permitted to challenge the monopoly on power of the Communist Party of China (CPC) – the Chinese government must finally implement fundamental freedoms; to stop police violence and politically motivated harassment of lawyers, activists and government critics - who have been harassed, tortured and even killed in Chinese prisons. President Xi Jinping and his CPC government has faced consistent accusations – backed by mounting evidence – of mass human rights abuses in Xinjiang, including the internment of more than a million predominantly Muslim ethnic minority people in detention camps; the existence of which President Xi Jinping initially denied before claiming they were training and reeducation centers. The camps and other accusations of abuse, forced labour, forced sterilisation of women, mass surveillance and restrictions on religious and cultural beliefs have been labelled as cultural genocide by the International Community. There is a saying in China: 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun' – the exact phrase having been coined by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong himself. This negative policy was practiced by hardliners of the CPC during the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989 - and even today in China, evidenced by increased violent clashes between police and pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Regrettably the brutal and ruthless CPC government still has not learned its lesson yet – namely that true political power does not come out of the barrel of a gun, but rather from civil rights and liberty; such as freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of association – being both an individual right and a collective right, guaranteed by all modern and democratic legal systems, especially the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Also, President Xi Jinping has put an end to freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of association in Hong Kong; as well as having blatantly violated Hong Kong’s Basic Law (HKSAR) – that serves as the de facto constitution of Hong Kong – by implementing the latest crackdown in Hong Kong to silence critics and stripping people of their right to political participation. Therefore it is imperative that the International Community provides the necessary assistance to the people of China so that rule of law, justice and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) can finally be manifested in China.
