美國國務卿 Pompeo 對中國發出極具正當性的檄文，

要求中國進行自由民主的法治化，

否則柏林圍牆倒塌和東歐共產主義終結就是中國共產黨的下場。

三十年前，中國人民的英雄們在天安門廣場勇敢地站了起來，要求他們的權利，我們向他
們致敬。他們的勇氣堪稱楷模，從柏林牆的倒塌以及隨後幾個月東歐共產主義的終結
開始，一直激勵著後人在世界各地爭取自由和民主。








On the 30th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square


MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE / JUNE 3, 2019
WASHINGTON, DC


On June 4, we honor the heroic protest movement of the Chinese people that
ended on June 4, 1989, when the Chinese Communist Party leadership sent tanks
into Tiananmen Square to violently repress peaceful demonstrations calling
for democracy, human rights, and an end to rampant corruption. The hundreds
of thousands of protesters who gathered in Beijing and in other cities around
China suffered grievously in pursuit of a better future for their country.
The number of dead is still unknown. We express our deep sorrow to the
families still grieving their lost loved ones, including the courageous
Tiananmen Mothers, who have never stopped seeking accountability, despite
great personal risk. The events of thirty years ago still stir our
conscience, and the conscience of freedom-loving people around the world.


Over the decades that followed, the United States hoped that China’s
integration into the international system would lead to a more open, tolerant
society. Those hopes have been dashed. China’s one-party state tolerates no
dissent and abuses human rights whenever it serves its interests. Today,
Chinese citizens have been subjected to a new wave of abuses, especially in
Xinjiang, where the Communist Party leadership is methodically attempting to
strangle Uighur culture and stamp out the Islamic faith, including through
the detention of more than one million members of Muslim minority groups.
Even as the party builds a powerful surveillance state, ordinary Chinese
citizens continue to seek to exercise their human rights, organize
independent unions, pursue justice through the legal system, and simply
express their views, for which many are punished, jailed, and even tortured.


We salute the heroes of the Chinese people who bravely stood up thirty years
ago in Tiananmen Square to demand their rights. Their exemplary courage has
served as an inspiration to future generations calling for freedom and
democracy around the world, beginning with the fall of the Berlin Wall and
the end of communism in Eastern Europe in the months that followed.


We urge the Chinese government to make a full, public accounting of those
killed or missing to give comfort to the many victims of this dark chapter of
history. Such a step would begin to demonstrate the Communist Party’s
willingness to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms. We call on
China to release all those held for seeking to exercise these rights and
freedoms, halt the use of arbitrary detention, and reverse counterproductive
policies that conflate terrorism with religious and political expression.
China’s own constitution stipulates that all power belongs to the people.
History has shown that nations are stronger when governments are responsive
to their citizens, respect the rule of law, and uphold human rights and
fundamental freedoms.
