CHARTER 08

I just recently discovered this document of mainland Chinese intellectuals urging the China for more democracy, in conjunction with the December 10 Human Rights.

Charter 08 in traditional Chinese: http://www.coolloud.org.tw/node/31858
English translation: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22210

This is sort of reminiscent of Czechoslovakia's Charter 77. I hope China will change for the better.

Long live Greater China!

  1. The former Czech president Havel, who had signed for the Charter 77, says that the China government should release 劉曉波.

    By the ways, does anyone knows how can we sign up for that thingy, or maybe we cannot. Someone one the website asked that.
